Godd move. ey has been a productive draft pick and it seems that the team has taken another step in the direction that fans want them to go, building through the draft.
We should have waited, he still had a year left on his rookie deal. There was no rush to get this done.
We never have a thread that doesn't have at least one negative post in it. So there it is
There is nothing negative about the Skins actuallt re-signing one of it's own draft picks BEFORE they hit the open market, but I didn't want to screw with tradition

Jason LaCanfora is reporting that Dan Snyder stepped in this week and made a push to get this done. Let's give some credit to the front office, who we generally blast unmercilessly, for addressing this before the season.
The Kendall acquisitin (which I liked) notwithstanding, I wish they would have done the same thing for Dockery last year.

thank god we got this out of the way. now he can just focus on playing. cuz no matter what he says, if he didnt get this done, he would have been thinking about it all season. and that would not be a good thing man

Note how he talked about wanting to get it done so he could play here his whole career as opposed to getting it done so he could get paid.
