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!

He might actually have a chance of getting him to come here because Washington has to be pretty close to the cap by now. They give him a contract similar to the one that they offered Wells. It could eat up cap enough that the Redskins wouldn't be able to afford him.
Re: Here's another RFA that Marv should bring in...
Yeah and he has a better chance of being more effective and contributing than a rookie lineman. I would give up a 3rd for him. I hear he's coming into his own.

I totally agree. and i know that Washington loves to pay players the money, but they gotta be pretty close to the cap by now that if they gave him a contract with a big cap hit this year, it might not be able to be matched by the Skins.
Re: Here's another RFA that Marv should bring in...
Here is how you beat Washington at their own game... Washington gives huge signing bonuses up front and minimal salaries the first year, right? That way, they can prorate the bonuses and remain under the cap this year. Give the guy a bigger first year salary and little to no bonus. That way, his salary will count more against the cap this season, which would limit the chance Washington could match.

NOt that what you said doesnt make sense, because it does..
But how about we sign Stephen "F'N" Neal, and KEEP our third rounder.

Re: Here's another RFA that Marv should bring in...
Thanks Mikey. And Pat, I agree with you too. Why not look at Neal, the other NE left tackle out there (name escapes me at the moment), and keep the draft picks? That's not a bad alternative. My point is, if you really want this Dockery guy because he "fits the box", then that would be how I would try to outfox Washington.
Re: Here's another RFA that Marv should bring in...
very good guard.. and your right.. he is coming into his own.. i posted this somewhere else, but i heard a radio interview w/ him on local radio (i live in redskins area).. very intelligent, and all about the game and the team.. not a "money" guy.. he would be an awesome addition.. that is why they put a 3rd round tender on him.

If your going by Jauron's offensive philosophy, which if your going by Chicago that would be the "please dont embarass the living hell out of me" philosophy.. Then neal would be a great fit.
I havent heard of him visiting any other teams since he's left Buffalo. Naturally, that pretty much means he'll go back to NE.
