Ty Garcia Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Why did'nt we release Archuleta to get Dock? I think if we would of released Arch that would have freed up some money!!! Now we are going to put our hopes on a rookie or a old vet to block for a young QB at the guard position!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willskins Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 We wouldn't have freed money, we would have taken an even bigger hit. Then if we would have signed Dock to a monster contract...no other signings could have happened. We would have tied our hands to prevent us from doing ANYTHING,even resigning some of our own players. Regretfully, it is a careful balancing act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dock wasn't worth what he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chow184 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 this thread starter is obviously ignorant of the salary cap and I wouldn't want to sign dockery to the kind of contract he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggins Seventy Chip Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 If we weren't going to take a cap hit, Archuletta and Lloyd would have probably been released already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REEGSKINS Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 even if we had the cap room they wounldnt have paid him that money. he wasnt worth it. i wanted him to stay but not a price anywhere near what he got from buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we are going to put our hopes on a rookie or a old vet to block for a young QB at the guard position!!! :doh: Aside from the cap hit. You'd rather have the team struggle another year in order to keep Dockery. Who wasn't anywhere near the best offensive lineman on the team. Instead of trying to fix the defense????

HitStickTaylor21 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 my thread creating privileges have been revoked and not only has this thread not been locked up, this guy can still create new threads??? WOW. Archuleta's contract is salary cap suicide and no one wanted to sign Dock to the richest OG contract in the history of the NFL! Doing anything with Arch wouldn't have had any effect on this situation at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivelikenice Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Even is we could afford Dock, it would make no sense to overpay in this market. We could find a one year filler who can give us equal production while developing a mid round pick to man that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaDRoc Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Because Dock isn't worth that kind of cash I agree, I'm just worried the Skins aren't going to be able to find a reliable replacement. Whether it from FA, trade, or draft, we need to acquire someone at LG because there is noone on our roster right now that can fill in at that spot. We were low on O-line depth as it was last season.

Peregrine Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Cutting Arch-Deluxe wouldnt have saved us any money. Whether we want to overpay for a player doesnt have anything to do with our other players contracts. Fortunately, we dont want to overpay for Dock.
