Bills Cut Derrick Dockery

Goodness. Two years ago, Derrick Dockery was one of many guards cashing in on the Steve Hutchinson Train when the Bills signed him to the seven-year, $49 million contract that was de rigueur at the time. But Dockery and tackle Jason Peters have both disappointed on the left side of the Bills line, and Buffalo has now given Dockery the boot.

Whhaaaaa....?????

Was Dockery really so bad as ditch him? I didn't see it. What guards would they be looking for to fill the space?

If they don't cut Royal and Kelsay for the cap space, this would seem to be a weird move.

He's still serviceable and under 30, maybe a return to Washington?

As a Skins fan I really hope so. We need all the semi-competent linemen we can get.

I would take him back in a heartbeat.

Could this be who the Steelers were waiting for?

Rotoworld says the Bills are realizing more than 26 million dollars in cash savings by cutting Dockery. Nothing to sneeze at, especially for that team.

They also just cut FO's whipping boy, Robert Royal. Phew.

Rumor has it they cut him for alcohol problems. The team physician found him at a bar one day and asked what was in the glass. The response: "A hickory daquiri, doc."

Yes, I am a bad man and I will burn in hell for it.

Off-field rather than on-field issues? So this was a Dockery dickery dock?

You've gotta think that this cut will change a few mock drafts out there.
