Dockery signs qualifying offer

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/05/AR2006030501025.html

one bit of good news today at least. Looks like we will have our starting o-line here in place for a couple more years.

Well, at least we've got Dock on board.

that means that the cap relief the skins got for lavar'r release will not be going to the o line..
d end?
wideout ?
several players ???

stay tuned

That just means we can match a offer if another team signs him. Redskins could get a pick in the up coming draft if they don't match the offer.

playing together is part of the equation of good offensive line play.this is definitly good news for the skins

All the talk about salary purges was significant to me only if it effected the O-Line. On D, Williams has shown he can have a top-notch defense with Walt Harris and Warrick Holdman playing significant roles. On O, the starting RB, WR and QB are returning b/c they simply can't be cut to save money (not exactly the triplets, but still one more year together). It appears that the O-Line will stay intact for a 2nd year in a row - that, to me, is critical b/c that is where every offense starts. With Dock locked up, Jansen Thomas and Samuels restructing - we should be in good shape. Sure we need depth, but after Thursday so will a lot of teams.

I don't think anyone's going to give up a 3rd rounder for Derrick Dockery (that's what it would take to get him from us, assuming we signed him to the lowest level tender). I doubt he'll get any other offers.

doc is a lower (below average) starter, so no one is going to spend a pick getting him.

he really isn't. not at the LG position. 20/32 is below average and believe or not every team has starters that are below average. not every player we have is automatically above average just cause they wear a skins uniform.
