Should Dockery Be Re-signed Before Free Agency Starts (next Friday)

Well I guess if we don't care about the cap why do we spend so much time talking about it?

If money is no object let's just make Dockery the highest paid player in the league. I guess we should have just given Betts a bigger contract than Portis too. Hey, they're OUR guys. Pay them with no regard to the cap or the future. That will make up for our past mistakes! :doh:

I think it comes down to that basic philosophical question. Does a player earn his money from his previously accomplished body of work (Archuleta) or for his potential future (Dockery)

Or do you just say F it and give him a blank check, and then convert him to another position.

Not saying pay him the biggest contract in the league. No i was surprise that the skins actually paid betts that was very unusal for the skins. Since when does anyone in the skins management care about the cap. If they did we would have learn our lesson from 2000. But the last couple of year is proof we didnt. Im saying pay the man a fair contract instead of letting him leave and paying more for someone else like we alway do. But keeps towing the company line it been working for us, just keep siging other players is the way to go. Damn how many big FA have the colts sign in the last 5 year huh? How about the Pats, Bears,Panters, Steelers?? I bet all those team together couldnt have got near as many high price FA we have gotten in the last 5 yrs. Thank god we have all those SuperBowl trophies to show for our way of doing things.

Haha. Is it just me or is this thread giving you a raging headache also?

What the heck had AA ever done to get paid a 10mill signing bonus. He been hurt the last few yrs with his back and couldnt ever cover anyone. Try again. Well we said F it the last couple of years to other people players where were you guys then ?????

I think we are trying to offer him a fair contract, but believe it or not he appears to be holding out for a BIG payday.

yeah seriously, in fact I give up. I'm going to bed.

We're back to bitching about 2000 again I see. Good times. Anyhow, the irony in your rambling rant is that the Patriots have for the past several done exactly what you are complaining about the Redskins potentially doing, "not paying their own" The Pats are constantly making roster changes. And the Bears? Well, this whole Lovie Smith mess shows just how cheap that franchise is. There's no way in H-E-Double Hockey Sticks that that shit would fly with Redskins fans.

yeah seriously, in fact I give up. I'm going to bed.

I'll stay a few more rounds. Peace
