Derrick

Dockery

Both journeyman were on Dallas’ roster last year. The Cowboys won’t want either to see action this season, but they were needed depth signings after several interior linemen went down in camp. Also, C Phil Costa has struggled.

A seventh-round rookie, Nagy drew the start in Week 1 against the Jets and graded out as ProFootballFocus’ worst run-blocking guard. Derrick Dockery will enter the starting lineup in Nagy’s place, and will likely hold down the job for the foreseeable future. He’ll almost certainly be an upgrade over the overmatched rookie.

Rookie Bill Nagy, who had been banged up going into Week 2, will likely start against the Redskins Monday night. The rookie was a liability against the Jets in the season opener.

Dockery has an MCL sprain in addition to a tibial plateau fracture. Backup Bill Nagy is going to need plenty of help against Ndamukong Suh on Sunday.

Nagy struggled against the Jets last Sunday night, getting pushed back into the backfield repeatedly. It shouldn’t be a surprise as Nagy is a seventh-round rookie. If the veteran Dockery can get up to speed by the end of this week, he’s a decent bet to start and help the Cowboys’ run game.

ESPN Dallas expects the team to rely on “younger linemen” going forward. Dockery was signed in 2012 training camp as an injury replacement and appeared in 15 games, making two spot starts. At 32, he is nearing the end of the line.

The Redskins can match any offer he signs as a restricted free agent, but he’s very likely to stay.

The restricted free agent’s return ensures that the entire starting offensive line will return for the Redskins in 2006.

Free agent G/T Jason Murphy, a fringe player, was also at the workout. Dockery is still just 29 years old, but received no interest in free agency after his March release from the Redskins. He was a power-blocking guard in his prime, which suits the Ravens’ mentality. Dockery could be an option at right guard in Baltimore if Marshal Yanda kicks back to right tackle.

The team just signed him to a "$49 million deal” two offseasons ago, but that just points out how meaningless initial contract numbers like that are. We believe Dockery made less than $20 million on the deal. Buffalo takes a $5.4M cap hit, but is likely more concerned with the $26.25 million in cash savings. The left side of the Bills’ line was a serious liability in 2008, and the Bills will go cheap at guard. Dockery and Brandon Moore’s additions immediately improve a previously thin guard market. Neither will have any difficulty finding work.
