All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

Here's some more details about Dockery's contract...

03-03-2007, 09:05 AM

Dockery's contract -- worth $49 million over seven years, according to sources -- will make him one of the highest-paid guards in league history. Dockery will earn $18.5 million in guaranteed money from the Bills, including a $16 million signing bonus, and will earn $18 million over the first three years of the deal, sources said.

The Redskins had hoped to re-sign Dockery but began to focus elsewhere as yesterday's start of the NFL free agency period approached because the gulf between his demands and what they were willing to pay grew too wide.

Fletcher Is Signed, Dockery Is Lost

Linebacker London Fletcher agrees to a five-year, $25 million contract with the Washington Redskins on Friday.

I don't know why people are getting hung up on this stuff (not you Mikey) - with the unprecedented increase in the cap this year, its pretty safe to say...

(Insert a name)'s contract will make him one of the highest-paid (pick a position)s in league history.

agreed. Just picture if Steve Hutchinson was a free agent this year. He might have gotten $60 million.

Oh and I don't even want to think about how much Aaron Schobel would have gotten paid if he was a free agent this year. Something tells me that it would make Clements' contract look kinda cheap.

There was some doubt whether the Bills would be willing to make a big financial splash this offseason. But owner Ralph Wilson this week has committed $32 million in guaranteed money to Dockery and defensive end Chris Kelsay. Dockery gets $13.5 million this year.
