Washington Redskins Free Agents
theHogs.net, DC - 22 hours ago
With the NFL's free agency period fast approaching, there are a few Washington Redskins players that will be free agents unless contract settlements are reached or offers are tendered before the deadline. NFL teams have until March 1st to submit their offers.

The Redskins most important free agent to retain this off season is undoubtedly Derrick Dockery. Dockery is one of nine Washington unrestricted free agents (UFA), that will be free to sign with anyone once free agency begins (March 2nd) . Dockery may have been the most consistent performer on the offensive line last season and seemed to benefit greatly from slimming down a few pounds. It won't break the bank to re-sign him, and as long as fair market value is acceptable to both sides, then the deal should get done. Washington should be able to lock the big guard up for a few years, give him a decent signing bonus, and pro-rate some of the cap hit required to get ink on a contract. This should definitely be a priority for the Redskins so that they can go into the free agency period with it already done.

Definitely agree... Jason Campbell and this team's running game rely on having a strong offensive line. So can they get a deal done with Dockery?

[Notorious C.L.E.]

Derrick Dockery is pretty underrated. He has the versatility to play both offensive guard and offensive tackle, but I feel as though his best fit is in fact inside. He is a beast in the running game, as he comes off quick and packs a formidable initial punch. I am also impressed with his penchant for finishing blocks with a mean streak. As a pass protector, he plays with a wide base and he does an above average job, though he is by no means superb. Because he possesses the athletic ability to move well laterally and has really honed his technique the past few years, teams might be inclined to believe that he hasn't reached his ceiling yet.
