Redskins | Dockery has not signed tender
Fri, 10 Mar 2006 19:25:15 -0800

Jason La Canfora, of the Washington Post, reports, contrary to earlier reports, <A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/37/nfl">Washington Redskins restricted free agent OL Derrick Dockery (http://www.kffl.com/player/5927/nfl) has not yet signed his tender offer. He was offered a one-year tender that would require a first-round draft pick as compensation should he sign with another team.

THOUGHTS ANYONE?

win win situation if you ask me, if he does sign somewhere else...we get a first round pick, if we keep him then we still have a decent guard...

I hope we re-sign him. If we lose him, then that's yet another position we have to worry about. Consistency on the O-line is key. I'd like all five starters back for the next several years

Agreed. We should get this guy in the fold. He's been a rock for us, never missed a start, and has made steady improvements each year. I can see why he'd want more than the $700K one-year tender.

Skins have to do what's in their best interests. But I don't think it would be a bad thing if we gave him $6 million over the course of 3 years.

What does that mean if he doesn't sign the offer. I thought that was just a formality. He can sign with someone else even after he signs the tender right? I'll gladly take a first for a slightly above average guard. He's a big boy and durable, but he ain't that good.

As soon as the Skins issued the tender, that made him a RFA, meaning it doesn't matter whether he signs the tender or not, we still get the right to match any offer and receive a 1st rounder if we decline to match.

It's just that he obviously feels he's worth more than the $700K one-year tender. And I actually would agree with him. But the Skins hold the leverage in this situation, because nobody is going to give up a 1st rounder for Derrick Dockery. The Skins can afford to just wait Dockery out until he eventually signs the tender.

So he's pretty much guaranteed to be a Skin. I just think it might be wise to treat him with some respect and do right by him. He hasn't earned big money or anything, but we might want to consider rewarding him with a 3 year deal. That way if he gets even better he still has that opportunity for a big payday before he exits his prime. Of course that all depends on how much he asks for, which we have no idea of knowing at this point.

We just have to wait it out. But he's 99% sure to be a Skin next year.

Nobody is going to give up a 1st rounder for him, smart move though by the Skins to not risk losing him.

there's better guards available in the 2nd round this year (or ones will be better in a year), so if anyone offers a first, i'd gladly take it.

Teams hardly ever draft Guards with 1st round picks so I doubt that we even need to worry about someone trading a #1 for a guard. dockery resigning is more a matter of when not if...
