Someone needs a hug.
Not true, usually it's the bad teams that do this............because they're desperate. When's the last old stiff the Hawks, Packers or Patriots signed and kept? If we do sign an aging vet that can't hack it in camp, we cut him before the season starts, i.e. Winfield, Winston.
Well that's some BS right there. LOL.
If a team gives a big contract to an aging vet, that's what bad teams do. If they are giving small prove it contracts to aging players, that's pretty standard.
Kevin Williams anyone?
Kevin Williams was arguably the most consistent lineman on the Hawks last year. Bad example.
My point is if a team is deep and loaded with talent, they don't have to hang on to guys like Dockett for 3.25M hoping he recaptures some of his glory days.
Kinda missed the point there homey.
Signing Williams IN THE FIRST PLACE was my point. I'm not making any point about how the signing turned out because we don't even know how the Dockett signing will play out yet. I seem to remember Seattle taking a stab at Antoine Winfield as well. He didn't make the roster, but signing him wasn't a sign they were desperate. It was a chance to sign a player on the cheap who could provide depth.
Yer just clutching at straws now.
If Dockett came in and was going to be a starter then you MIGHT have a point, but he's not. He was always envisioned as a 3rd down pass rusher.
The funniest part of your comment though is that the twitter post we are currently responding to is that the 49ers might be so deep at the position that Dockett may not make the team.
