Redskins sign Derrick Dockery

Washington’s wheeling and dealing did not end early Friday; it went into the night. The Redskins reached agreement with former Bills guard Derrick Dockery on a five-year, $26 million deal that included $8.5 in guaranteed money. Combined with the $18.5 in guarnateed money Dockery made from his two years with the Bills, he will have made $27 million guaranteed in three years.

Damn good deal. No way we could of gone into next year with what we had at 0-line.

?SKINS ANNOUNCE TAYLOR RELEASE

Posted by Mike Florio on March 2, 2009, 5:10 p.m.

The Washington Redskins officially have announced the release of defensive end Jason Taylor.

?Jason Taylor was a real professional during his time with the Redskins,? coach Jim Zorn said. ?He played hurt, but still gave his best effort to be prepared and play hard every week. We wish him and his family the very best.?

As we reported earlier in the afternoon, the move came after Taylor refused to agree to contract clause that would require him to participate in 25 of the 39 offseason workout days.

And, as far as we can tell, the request wasn?t aimed at getting Taylor to balk so that he could be cut. Instead, it came from a legitimate interest on the part of the team to have Taylor fully engaged in the offseason program.

In the end, the Redskins got 13 games, and eight starts, out of the second-round pick in the 2009 draft that they sent to the Dolphins last year.

Come on down Mr. Orakpo.

I was reading where the Redskins were lining up Fat Albert at DE and bringing Orakpo off the same side as a blitzing LB in practice the other day. Cant wait to see Orakpo for the 1st time tonight in a Redskins uniform. Tonights game is on NFL Network.

Orakpo played against the Ravens, I thought? I think he had a hit on T. Smith :(

The 'Skins d-line is incredible, though I wish I could say the same about the o-line.

Can we trade Dan Snyder?

Orakpo played against the Ravens, I thought? I think he had a hit on T. Smith :(

He did.

Orakpo is going to be something special.

I meant for me being the 1st time seeing him in a Redskins uniform due to being blacked out the 1st game..even though I have the DTV sports pack. Is everyone else blacked out on pre season games on DTV? Shouldnt you be able to see everything on those channels considering you pay an extra $15 every month to get the fuckin channels??

Once Again, Redskins' Public Trust in Jeopardy

This week, as detailed in James V. Grimaldi's stories in The Post on Redskins tickets, the team has taken the bad faith prize for mean and greedy business practices toward its own fans. If ticket buyers with multiyear contracts suffer from economic hard times, the Redskins do not emulate at least nine other NFL teams, as well as local franchises such as the Capitals, and simply cancel the tickets and sell them to someone else. Nope. Despite a "waiting list" they claim is 160,000 long, the Redskins sue some of their own fans for the money and, at times, even resell the tickets.
To whom would they do such a thing? A 72-year-old grandmother who has loved the team all her life has lost a $66,364 judgment to the team even as she says she's close to bankruptcy. That might take the cake for meanness. But for stupid moves, my choice was the Redskins suing an unemployed paranoid schizophrenic. Now that's crazy. Another fellow, sent to jail, told the Redskins and Nats he'd like to cancel those season tickets of his. The Nats sent him free tickets. The Redskins, of course, sued him.
The Redskins have a right to enforce contracts. But that doesn't make it right. No wonder there are few rebukes in this town as insulting as, "That sounds like something Dan Snyder might do."

Should've known the garbage in the Cowboys thread came from Deadskins fans. I'd post some cute pictures, too, but what could I find that would be funnier than the Skins, themselves?

Jim Zorn, Jason Campbell, championship!
