I dont know what this dudes thinking... we put our backup center at Left Tackle against a pro-bowler with no TE help... its amazing Jason Campbell is still alive.That was one of the more...entertaining moments of the season.

Just heard it on NFL radio -- will work on finding a link. Would you give him a decent contract to have him come back? I know I would!I wouldn't give him the Steve Hutchinson money that the Bills gave Dock two years ago, but I would definitely talk to his agent. The beauty of a Dockery signing would be the much shorter timeframe to establish chemistry with Samuels and Rabach since he played with both while he was here.

Seriously. I took the Lord's name in vain about 20x in two minutes when he was lined up on Suggs.

I thought the comparison we were talking about with Hall and Dockery was whether Dockery could demand big money right now. My suspicion is he can't. Had he been cut in the middle of the season, then been picked up by another team at a relatively bargain price, played well and gotten back on the market at the end of the season that would be one thing...that would be DeAngelo Hall. But that's not the case with DD

A couple of comments:
1. Once a player is cut/released he is a free agent and there are no tampering restrictions related to other teams contacting him and signing him. See Gibril Wilson and his deal with the Dolphins as an example...
2. Good to see that all the Warpathers who were so angry when Dockery left here to sign with the Bills have forgiven him.
3. Someone had the 2009 OL with the following people as back-ups:
Heyer, Jansen, Rhinehart and Geisinger.
That is a recipe for needing to go through all of 2009 with no injuries to the OL starters. Jansen is the ONLY player there who has shown ANY consistent abiltiy to play at the NFL level and he is clearly on the downslope of his career. Heyer reportedly works hard and tries hard - - but on Sundays he strives to be adequate. Geisinger played a couple of snaps last year and looked shell-shocked. Rhinehart could not show enough to get dressed for most games.
If those are the back-ups, start now sacrifcing goats to the football gods to prevent any OL injuries...
4. Recall that Dockery showed great improvement here in Washington last time in his "contract year". In Buffalo, he had a long-term deal and played poorly enough to get cut. If they sign him here, I'd suggest a SHORT term deal.
Watch it buddy...

Now that he has lost your vote, I am sure Vinny will have him signed tonight ;)
LOL, ESPN980 just reported the Pats are going to pursue Hall, as i speculated. If the moneys comparable, i dont know why Hall would sign with us instead.

Because we're his favorite team and he wants to be here.

What did they say exactly? Did they just repeat The Boston Globe's speculation that Hall might be a free agent they could consider?

Seriously. I took the Lord's name in vain about 20x in two minutes when he was lined up on Suggs.When I named Chris Samuels the #1 most indispensable player on the Redskins back in August...that's not exactly what I had in mind.
Which is why I after Jason walked off the field under his own power, I laughed my ass off for about 5 minutes.

Hall Loves DC and is not going to the PATS, and I would be suprised if the Camera operator would want someone with Halls alleged locker room issues. Who Knows
