Re: JLC: Hope fading for Dockery?
Who would pay such a ridiculous bonus to Dockery? Let's rewind the tape for a moment.
Lavernaeus Coles was looking for an $8M signing bonus but Danny Boy wanted to "lock him down" for the Skins and paid $10M. More than a few folks here thought that showed Danny Boy's genius in getting the deal he wanted done immediately and with no one else having a chance to make a counter-offer. When Brandon Lloyd came here via trade WITH AN EXISTING CONTRACT, Danny Boy and his front office minions decided to tear up that EXISTING CONTRACT and pay him $10M as a signing bonus for a whole new deal. How's that working out? Those are just two examples of paying far more than necessary to "make a splash"; there are others... Let's see...who might pay a ridiculous sum in terms of a signing bonus??? Dallas and Miami are "in the mix" for acquiring Dockery. Do not be shocked if the Rams get involved too.

FOX Sports - NFL - Top five free-agent offensive linemen
Dock is not even in the top 5 free agents for O-line. |

Re: JLC: Hope fading for Dockery?
Alright FLPRG I'll take your word for it and I know we have other needs. I really would like to see some good D help. What about Nick Harper the CB out of Indy? Any one heard what he might be asking for?

That perception of him also allowed him to slip to us in the second round. Don't get me wrong, he isn't a shutdown corner by any stretch but signing him could prevent a slide similar to the one that we faced when Springs groin went out... |

Re: JLC: Hope fading for Dockery?
Well they're the only ones who have Gandy and Carlisle rated like that. Hell they have Gandy over Dielman which seems like a serious stretch.
