We're told that the request was made during a visit by Davis to the Cowboys.

Consequently, the visit was a short one.

Hey, if the guy was that good, the Cardinals' line wouldn't have been so bad. And the Cards would have used some of their staggering cap surplus to keep him.

Next up for Davis is the Redskins. But if they weren't ready to pay Derrick Dockery, why would they pay Davis?

DOUBT HE'S GONNA BE A SKIN! AT LEAST I HOPE NOT. NOT FOR THIS KINDA CASH!

23 million?!?! The sad thing is, I bet he will get at least 19 million somewhere....

Leonard Davis Speaks
Just ran into him as Jason Campbell was taking the big man to lunch. Davis seems likea cool, laid back cat. Said it's down to the Redskins and Dallas, where he visited yesterday. Said the Cowboys did not make a firm offer but they talked about parameters. Has no other visits planned.

"I might make a decision this evening," Davis said. "I've just got to talk to my agent and talk to my wife ... It's all up in the air right now."

Davis said he had good meetings with Buges, Coach Joe, The Snyder (he didn't call them by those names of course, but you get the drift).

"This is my top two," Davis said of the Skins and Cowboys. He also said he wants to play here because "this organization "is committed winning." Yeah, that's what everyone says. Not sure if winning and spending are one and the same, but you get the idea. These guys clearly want to try to win in the way they want to win, but there remain caveats galore when you throw out big free agent bucks.

As for the wild spending in this free agent market, Davis said: "Nothing surprises me."

He certainly won't be a back-up, and neither will he be a Redskin at his asking price. With what he's asking, we may as well have signed Dock, and I certainly can't blame the team for not signing him to a contract like the one he got in Buffalo. Had we signed Dock to a contract like that, we would be renegotiating every year for the duration of it.
