John Clayton Updates
Clayton said earlier on SC that we are one of the teams interested in Willis Magahee.
Also, the Bills signed G Derrick Dockery to a 7 yr/48.5 million deal with 16 up front.
And the Browns signed G/T Eric Steinbach to a 7 yr/49 million deal with 17.5 up front.
That's Steve Hutchinson money.
Crazy.

That's silly money for Dockery and I've got a feeling that that money for Steinbach is as cover for if Joe Thomas ain't available at #3 for them to take, because let's be honest, Kevin Shaffer is horrible.

Re: John Clayton Updates
No guard is worth that much for my money. Guards you take guys and coach them up, you don't spend tackle money on them. Save the money for the guys who can make the most impact on your line, that's your tackles. The day the Ravens spend tackle money on a guard is the day I get worried about Ozzie, I'm thankful that he's never done that.

Re: John Clayton Updates
I agree totally on Dockery. What makes it more curious is Ralph Wilson was bitching the most about the new CBA etc.... and they have a stud CB in Clements who is now a FA. Yet they throw this cake at Dockery? What a joke.
Steinbach on the other hand, is a great player. Yes, huge numbers, but he's damn good.
The market it out of whack because of the enormous amount of room some of the cheap teams had combined with the jump in the cap.

Re: John Clayton Updates
Steinbach is reportedly getting $23million in the first three years of the contract! Yikes!

"Buffalo on Friday night reached an agreement with four-year veteran Derrick Dockery, who had played his entire career with the Washington Redskins, on a seven-year, $49 million contract, ESPN.com learned.
The total contract equals the deal that "transition" free agent Steve Hutchinson signed with the Minnesota Vikings last year, a league record for a guard. The contract includes $18.5 million in guarantees and will pay Dockery $23 million in the first three seasons."
Ummm, holy shit.
18.5 million guaranteed to a good guard when your premier defensive player (Clements) is an UFA?
Unreal.

FO's just get dumber and dumber.
This just in, Stienbach gets staph infection after tour of Cleveland facility."This year, our attitude when we’re on the field is we’re attacking, we want to put points on the board and then let our defense pin their ears back and have at it."
