On to the cap, my most beloved main man on all salary-cap issues (you know who you are) tells me the Skins as of today are roughly $6 million under the cap, give or take a few hundy-thou, after yesterday's moves (cutting Fauria and doing a new deal with Brunell).all of that. And Vilma has not heard a thing.

JLC, giving our main man CrazyCanuck some love! Nice

It sounds like we are talking Royalty with those numbers.

I'd have to say the kind of reported cash he's looking to get, not even Danny Boy's comin off that kind of coin.....and don't blame him! I think the DOCK is on his way out the door.

I wish I knew what was going on with the Dockery negotiations. I have heard however, from a pretty reliable source, that Dock’s agent’s initial proposal to the Redskins was a $17 million signing bonus. Yes, $17 million.

Now clearly (I think) this was just a starting point for further bargaining. But it gives you an idea of Dock and his agent’s (Todd France) ultimate asking price based on their starting point.

No way Dock is getting a 17 mil bonus.

DB Clements and OLB Thomas are going to get 17-19 mil bonus.

OG Dielman and Steinbach will get between 12 - 17 mil bonus.

OL Davis has been saying he has a 12 mill signing bonus offer.

Dockery will get between 10 - 12 mil to sign.

Does Dock even want to be here? It almost just sounds like the Chump story where we tried to resign him and come to find out he looked for greener pastures.

THis is the nature of this years market--it's not that Dock is objectively worth all that cheddar, but teams have lots of cheddar to spread round this year. It's a sellers market. My guess is that he's as good as gone. We need a LG. But that's better than not having a D...

You poor Romosexual...darn that's an ugly lid!

I have to agree that's about right, DOCKS out of his mind lookin for 17 mil Bonus cash, he's in the 10-12 range max, in my opinion.

However, in this market you just never know? Some team out there might be desperate enough to pay him an OUTRAGEOUS signing bonus.....way more than what he's worth!

I know this is barely hearsay, but I just read this on a Cowboys board.

Hey guys,
I live in DC and had the fortune of meeting Dockery and his wife at a Washington Wizards game. He said he is from the Dallas area. He said he would like to stay in Washington and was hoping he could get something done (he likes this area. But I told him that he needs to be a cowboy!) He laughed and said we will see what happens .With the FA market shaping up like it is, I would not be surprised if he ends up with our boys. Nice guy though. He would fit well in Big D.

Who knows if this is true or not.

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Dock, like most players, is simply going to go to the highest bidder. If Somalia had a football team that was willing to pay him a $20M signing bonus, he'd be on his way to Mogadishu before night's end. So, I fully expect to lose him and, to be honest, I'm not going to be totally pissed about it.

I would rather sign Wade and another starting quality guard than spend that on Dock. Those figures are crazy...

Who is Wade? A guy who sat on the bench for us last year?

Also what is are our other options at LG, who else is out there and available and is not going to cost ridiculous money?

[holcknowsbest]

if dock wants that i agree with you. let him go if he wants 17 mil, that is upsurd for one god damn lineman. hes good man and i love him but thats too much money with the others guys out there on the market. hope we sign hime for a good fair price.
