Another Pick In The 3rd Round?

[Gmanc711]

I guess my question is, really the main guy we lost last year was Derrick Dockery....but we also signed Fletcher/Smoot.....so wouldnt we have signed just as highly stouted FA's as the one loss of Dockery?

I mean, I'm not complianing, cause that would be awsome, but does anyone know how exactly this is figured out before I get too excited?

Duckett, Wright, and Dockery.

Well I think the main point in all this is Dockery's large salary

Also, I don't think Smoot counts because the Vikings released him

I believe the fact that Smoot was cut made him ineligible in the calculation. I KNOW he isn't included in Minnesota's calculations because he was cut and did not become a true UFA due to an expiring contract.
