Redskins sign 3rd free agent

According to the NFL Network the Redskins have signed OG Derrick Dockery to a 5 yr 26.5 million contract with 8.5 million guaranteed. People can make fun of Snyder and the Skins all they want but somehow they find the cap room other teams don't. Every year people think they are strapped for cash and cap room and then they still sign all kinds of free agents. The media pundits were saying if they signed Haynesworth there's no way they can sign Hall or get an offensive lineman....well they did all of the above. I love an owner that will find every way possible to improve the team (even though it doesn't work) instead of one that sits on his cash.

Spend no money or spend money foolishly?

I don't know that there's a huge difference between those two. Tends to get the same result, although I suppose scenario two lends some excitement to the offseason.

(just doesn't do much for the postseason)

Friday night the Skins only had 8.1 million and I haven't heard of any cuts or restructures or extentions. Seriously, how can they have signed Haynesworth? 7 years 100 million roughly 14.286 a year doesn't even fit under their cap space let alone the Hall and Dockery contracts. Maybe I'm being too sceptical here but I'm not buying this at all, something isn't adding up....

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
