red78skin2 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 What's up family.... This is just an opinion piece... but please be honest with yourselves... #66 is finally gone and I don't miss him at all... I do feel bad for Samuels b/c he's the one who got him in shape last year to land this large contract. Samuels took the young man under his wing & showed him the way... Don't forget BUGEL input neither... No i am not mad that # 66 is making more money that I will ever will... However there isn't any real loyalty in sports or to a team & of course we all know it's just BUSINESS... AND YES, "I GOT FEED MY FAMILY" thing is getting tired... !! But man to man... loyalty to a true friend & teamate win's out every time...:applause: From a Fan's point of view... I couldn't stand when he would jump off sides or hold in every critical moment of his career here in Washington. But i am not a hater... I wish him and his family & career the best.... But from a Fan's point of view... I am glad he's gone...."66" Check out the sig... The curse is now over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Om Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Let me put it this way. If I'm the Redskins, I'm not paying Dock the kind of money Buffalo did. Not even close. And if I'm Dock ... I'm a Bill today. This one's a no-fault divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooner Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I kind of always though DD was a false start-holding machine as well. He definitely improved last year, as opposed to years past (year 1 and 2 were horrendous), but it was still a little higher than I thought it should be.

Henry Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Losing Dockery is gonna hurt. But there's no way we were going to offer what the Bills just forked over. That's crazy money. I'd still rather have him here than not, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Bill today. This one's a no-fault divorce. Yeah BUT....it's the Skins fault for letting him go into his contract year without an extension....assuming that they really wanted to keep him.... The team needs to stop letting players go into contract years without extensions unless they are prepared to let them go.... If they don't do something about it soon, Cooley is going to go into a contract year without a deal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the last half of 2006 to that He was an above average guard, at best, in his first 3 seasons. What was the hurry to extend him? You cannot compare him and Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooley was good 2 years ago Cooley was better last year Cooley will be even better next year. Can you say the same about Dock, he seems to have played harder in his contract year than any other.

Shadowplay Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 If the reports are correct, 12 million over 3 years versus 49 for 7 isn't even close. Good for Dock and good for the Redskins for realizing where the market was going. I'd say the Redskins knew what they were doing with this one. However, it doesn't make sense to rip a guy (IMHO) for taking the money. I wish him the best. I'm not glad he's gone, I'm GLAD that he got paid. Isn't that what life's about?

JoeGibbsThickandthin Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I do not think they even wanted Dockery back. I think mostly because of his play. Portis said everytime they did a sweep he would trip in space. So they could only run to Randy Thomas side. That is a major disadvantage to have a offensive linemen who trips in space.

What it came down to is Docks agent read the market perfectly and knew he was going to see big $$$. We cant afford to pay Dock like that, he was in my opinion our 4th best linemen. Behind Samuels, Thomas, and Jansen. Would have loved him to stay, take less money, like Betts. But thats not how it worked out, and I dont see it as the Skins fault :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRay Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 You my friend hit it right on the head with your comment it is a business amen !!. That is all football is now a business it's not about loyality like it was in the old days when players played the game for the love of the game. I am not mad at him either he has to do what he feel is right for him and his family even though I do not think he is worth what he is getting in Buffalo. There is still a void to fill here now since Dock has left for greener grass. I wish him the best I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the hurry to extend him? You cannot compare him and Cooley If he was an average/above average player a year ago, we should have been able to extend his contract fairly cheaply then. Now it's going to cost us a mint to get an average to above average guy to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 we would be fools if we don't re-sign Cooley right now. Sure he isn't the most athletic type TE out there, but he certainly has excelled with us thus far. To the poster who talked about other players not restructuring to keep Dockery, that was still too much money than the front office felt. Also, despite the overall contract length, we could have backloaded the salary and paid him around 3.5 million this year, pretty reasonable cap hit.

Ambrus Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I dont understand why they the Bills offered Dock so much money. If he was that great dont they think the skins would have offered him more money to keep him. Im not saying this to knock on the man but out of the 5 starters we have on the o-line, he was the worst of the bunch (not terrible but not great, just ok). He never made it to the pro bowl he was not close to Huthinsons level and they offer him that much money? The other guys on the o-line have to be thinking wtf. Why did I restructure and if he made this much money shouldnt I make the same, if not more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm not glad he's gone, but I'm very happy we didn't overpay for him. He didn't seem to pull well and we should be able to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
