They were easily in the driver's seat and knew it.
Of course, he has to say he wants to stay because if he didn't get a good offer then his bridge isn't burnt. Same goes with his teammates. He's done nothing for them to say anything but that they would like for him to remain a Redskin.
Dockery and or his agent were smart, simple as that, to wait until this past week to sign a contract.

you are right. I never looked at it from that way. there has to be a willingness to stay here and get it done. I always feel that if the team wants a certain player to be here, they will be here. Just given the facts of how Danny likes to throw the money around, and not letting players leave with out contracts. But like you said, Dock may have not been so willing. I wonder if his agent was contacted prior to the signing or before, that the bills were going after him and willing to play top dollar? that may fall in lines of tampering, but if it goes un detected, its fair game i guess.
