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....

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
