Because we all know that if he leaves the FO will go throw a lot of money at some other FA guard and then in a year from now we will be talking about Dockery just like Ryan clark.

I think from this standpoint, we are in the same boat as every other NFL franchise. There's going to be some resentment in every locker room if you let a high character guy walk, but that's just the nature of the game. It's February, guys will get over it. We just have to make sure to make the right business decision, and that's to not get desperate here. If Dockery is going to sign with the first team who gives him a big contract, hopefully that's not going to be us.
