Cards DT Dockett still wants to be traded

Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darnell Dockett recently reiterated his request to be traded, a source said.

Dockett told the Cardinals after the Super Bowl that he felt he had outperformed the five-year, $22.010 million contract he signed in 2006, the source said.

The team told him then they would not trade him but might consider discussing his contract. No talks on a new deal have occurred this offseason, so Dockett restated his trade request.

Top defensive tackles are making $8 million a year or more, and Dockett, according to the source, would like to be traded in order to receive a top defensive line contract.

If only we had a player we might be able to trade to work some sort of an equitable deal for Dockett and draft picks.

panthers would still want a third to go along with dockett, not to mention the cards having to give 4 times the money for peppers that they are giving to dockett now for peppers to sign with them long term

Am I alone in having no sympathy for a guy whining after two or maybe three years of a new deal? Probably right after he finished getting all his guaranteed bonus $$ too. :rolleyes: Hey bud, when you have a craptacular year are you all lining up to give the $$ back? No. Do you get paid your salary if you are on IR? Yes. This happens even moreso to teams who go to the SB. Everyone thinks it's THEM the team couldn't have done it without then out go the hands.

This is a universal problem in all sports unfortunately. :(

But if you can make it work for you what the hell.

I don't have an issue with a guy going to his team on the downlow and talking to them about it. That's the right way to handle it, IMO. I think it's skeevy to go to the press with that stuff.

Agreed.

I'd rather have a guy come out and say he wants to get paid rather than a guy who wants to get traded because he isn't reaching his full potential however.

Most players do though. I would have never imagend that Peppers would have been so public. Yea he played out his contract but you could tell last year he didnt give a poo and I know people will say he had a great year but sacks are not the only thing that make you great. If Dockett dose not want to be there they should move him and thats the end of the story. Same goes for Bolden I mean you think he is gonna lay it on the line for the Cards now?

This seems to be a common problem for the Cards

I dont think Peppers has been very public at all. He made one statement and his been a ghost since. Thats maybe being public for him, but not in general.

I dont blame Boldin at all for speaking out. If you remember this came up before last season, Boldin shut his mouth and played out the year with the promise from the Cards that a new deal would get done. Well another productive year has passed for Boldin and the Cards are duping him again.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
