Regardless, Dock is now incredibly overpaid and we should be happy that we're not the ones overpaying for once.
And for those who want to blame the front office for not locking him up prior to free agency, has it ever occurred to you that perhaps Dockery wasn't interested in being locked up?
I don't understand the backlash for not re-signing a guy who wasn't even our best lineman, and that outlandish contract should squash any doubts as to whether or not we did the right thing.

I have said, his contract was too much, no doubt. What I am saying is, if we would have approached this earlier we could have done something prior to him being on the market. He contended he wanted to stay here, the rest of his teammates wanted him here. He would have been a fool to walk away from what the bills offered. But I just think we should have sured up the O-line. I dont get not resigning him because he wasn't our best lineman? our offensive line was the only thing that was good!! it was dominant in fact!! and all 5 of them contributed. I dont care if he was the best or 5 best. the fact is THAT oline created running lanes trucks could drive through and only yielded 19 sacks. 3rd best. If you have something that good, why not try and keep it together. that is all I am saying about it.
you saw what happened when you let pieces of the puzzle go on D. from 9th to 31st, now we are having to pay crap loads of money to shore up that side of the ball again. I just have a feeling the oline will not perform as good as it did last year.
