I heard John Murphy talking about the Bills and as a result I’ve learned that Derrick Dockery’s roster spot is in jeopardy. The Bills are taking VERY long looks this combine period and both centers AND guards and could also target one or both positions in free agency.
While I’d be mildly surprised if Dockery ends up getting cut, possibly even in the few days—it wouldn’t shock me. The bottom line is his play hasn’t even come in the ballpark of living up to his big contract.
Still, I find it hard to believe they’d release him before having a contingency plan in place. I also think it’s unfair (but still happens) to release a player well after free agency has already begun, since it could potentially hamper the player’s chance of landing on a team and getting a decent payday.
I have no idea how Dockery being released would effect the salary cap, I’ll wait for Clump’s report on that.
