JLC: Hope fading for Dockery?

[sportscurmudgeon]

Who would pay such a ridiculous bonus to Dockery? Let's rewind the tape for a moment.

Lavernaeus Coles was looking for an $8M signing bonus but Danny Boy wanted to "lock him down" for the Skins and paid $10M. More than a few folks here thought that showed Danny Boy's genius in getting the deal he wanted done immediately and with no one else having a chance to make a counter-offer.

When Brandon Lloyd came here via trade WITH AN EXISTING CONTRACT, Danny Boy and his front office minions decided to tear up that EXISTING CONTRACT and pay him $10M as a signing bonus for a whole new deal. How's that working out?

Those are just two examples of paying far more than necessary to "make a splash"; there are others...

Let's see...who might pay a ridiculous sum in terms of a signing bonus???

Dallas and Miami are "in the mix" for acquiring Dockery. Do not be shocked if the Rams get involved too.
