because of you wanting him, or because you have heard something?
The O-line needs inside help. We have a center, and one and a half tackles. Our Guard play was inconsistent - particularly Rivera.
Now you have a young Guard who might become a free agent, you have seen quite a bit of this guy, he is from Texas, was a Longhorn, and made Ladell Betts look like Clinton Portis.
I have also seen his name mentioned a few times by so called insider cowboy blogs.
It seems to make sense to me...

You should have kept Larry Allen! It is not a coincidence that Gore led the NFC.
I have a pretty good feeling that Dock will be in burgandy and gold next year.

Where was it that said that they where not even close except here?
J. LaConfora's Redskins Insider on the wash post. He's said a couple of times since the season ended that the 2 sides were not even close.
Based on the info he usually gets (not to be confused w/his speculation), I'd trust it.
I couldn't open this link, was it from JLC's insider?
I hope Jansen's deal is a sign of things to come (& Betts' deal).
JLC also said Jansen's situation could get "sticky", a week later he signs a new deal.

Didn't he say that about Springs also?

The link is now fixed so you should be able to open it now (my apologies) and the author was JLC.

right, as I noted, that was him speculating & not reporting.
Maybe JLC is basing that opinion on past experience, but the Skins hopefully have learned their lesson on dealing w/their own players & not trying to low ball them.

I don't think that Allen was as much of a factor as you believe.
He missed 5 games.
His legs were S-H-O-T! he could not get to the second level or the corner anymore. He was L-O-S-T in space.
He is a HOFer (whatever that means) in my opinion, and he was one of my favorite players.
It looks like the Dockery negotiations are stalled......

Whoever signs Dock should beware that it is likely that he will kick back and take the next two years off. From his perspective the hardest part of his career is over. He drops weight and gets with the program just in time for his contract year. Now it's back to loafing like he did before.

nice to hear a fan without the biased blinders on. Allen's last couple of seasons in Dallas were played on strictly reputation only. one of the best guards of all time, he should have retired at least 2 years ago. simply cannot run anymore
