Front Office - Why isn't Cooley extended?

[MTK]

Dockery's situation was ridiculous. I'm not sure what the Bills were smoking exactly, but they gave superstar money to a decent player. Cooley will at least deserve whatever big money he gets, and I think in this case the Skins realize it's going to take a significant deal to keep him here.

With Dockery I think the Skins had a reasonable number in mind given the type of player he is, and the Bills just blew things out of the water. I really can't fault the Skins for letting him go, and at the same time I don't blame Dockery for taking the money.

I think the Redskins could have secured Dockery before he ever got to the open market for an affordable price if they didn't low-ball him.

Part of these guys job includes forecasting the market and making prudent decisions about players based on their forecasts.

We shouldn't even be talking about the ridiculous contract Dockery got.
