Redskins And Pucillo Agree to a New Deal

[SmootSmack]

"The team has reached an agreement on a one-year contract worth the veteran minimum of $595,000 with reserve offensive lineman Mike Pucillo. Pucillo, 27, signed with the Redskins as a free agent from Houston last year and played all three line positions, but spent most of his time as a tackle eligible in the Redskins' run-heavy formations and goal-line formations."

This is great news. The tackle eligible play, as we all know, is the future of red-zone offense in the NFL.

its good to see people are wanting to come back...come on Sean and Derrick

[Daseal]

Wow, got him for vet. min.? That's truly awesome.

[JGisLordOfTheRings]

Right. Glad were starting off right. Tomorrow I'm expecting a thread like this for Dock. Make it up if you have to TAFKAS, I just wanna see it. :-)

Why would an agent ever agree to a one-year, vet-minimum deal before the start of free agency? The only reason I can possibly can come up with is that the Redskins said something to the effect that, "This offer is good until Friday at midnight, after which point we will not re-sign you under any conditions."

Hahahah...I was thinkin along those lines but, then the alcohol grabbed my brain and slammed it into the dirt of "Dont ask Because you dont wanna know"

His agent probably told him look, you're probably going to get very little interest on the open market if any... so let's get it over with and re-sign with the Skins and save yourself the embarrassment of being the last kid in gym class that gets picked for kickball.

This is the best news I've heard all day.

Hopefully he doesnt have to start for us, but if he does--at least we know things could be worse.

yeah, I think good agents would do that as they should know the mkt. That's our problem w/Dock, his agent knows there's only a few guys he's competing with in FA & most teams have lots of $$. Peter King is predicting the top 2 guards, Steinbach & Dielman I believe, are looking for S. Hutchinson $, 7mil /yr w/15 bonus if I remember correctly.

No way they will get close to Hutchinson money IMO. Hutchinson outclasses the guard field and was a special case. Those other guards might be looking for that kind of payday, but they won't get it. I honestly think the guard position might be the easiest position in the NFL. I'm not saying the elite ones don't deserve mucho money, but if Derrick Dockery thinks he is going to get some massive 30 million dollar contract he is crazy.

I actually think we are going to see ridiculous deals being struck. As noted previously, teams have more cap space to spend on fewer quality free agents since the start of free agency. Whereas in the past, a lot of teams couldn't engage in bidding wars over top-notch FAs due to cap considerations, now there are going to be numerous bidders on the good FAs. The bidding wars might get ridiculous, with teams front-loading deals to use their current cap space and limit the impact of big signings on future cap figures.
