Shaggy, you shouldn't be surprised.

There is not a single player who ever left the Cards and signed with another team that did not get slagged on by a bunch of the fans. No matter how popular they were before.

Dockett saying he was willing to take less money than the 49ers offered to stay here but it was the cardinals that didn't want him.

Meh

Then we wouldn't have offered him a contract at all....... sounds a little sour grapey.

9-0 sounds angry & bitter on fox. He said he gave the Cards 3 chances after the Niners offers & would've taken less to play with Cards. Said differance was less than 500k

If difference was less than 500k and he claims was willing to take less to stay then why isn't he a cardinal?? Sounds like he's a liar..

Sounds like his bitterness is towards Keim or Michael & kept BA in the loop until he finally had to sign with Niners

Can't disagree. He's also upset at fans questioning his loyalty & burning his jerseys lol

Well, maybe both sides were stubborn but 500k means a lot in a cap situation. Maybe it means a lot to DD. Time will show who gave up the most over 500k. I know who it will be.

He said it wasn't abotbthe $$ and was willing to stay here for less... He himself said it was led than 500k difference... So clearly he's a liar...

He's going to a division rival that most Cardinals fans hate more than any other team. Why is he surprised by this reaction? He knows the rivalry between the two teams as he was a part of it.

I don't think this would be as big of a deal if this was a team outside of our division, but the ***** had to go next door.

Considering the cost of living in Frisco, Dockett is losing money on this deal...emotional decisions rarely work.

We'll never know the whole story but he sounds bitter & hurt kinda like Q did especially after saying "they're gonna keep who they wanna keep". DD also said he had zero talks with Michael during the process. Oh well...next man up.

Hahaha. Thinking the same thing. Maybe DD and Drew couldn't quite figure out the math.

I still think the Cards made the right decision. Sounds like this was 100% Keim, once again proving he ain't no human snail in bad football "team" decisions.

Seems fishy. The difference in state taxes are going to make it closer than that, you would think.

It was more then 500k, that was only half the story. We also would not give a 2nd year like the niners added. He was disingenuous when talking that part of the negotiations for the purpose to gain some sort of sympathy.

I myself think both sides did the right thing In this case.

Is it Michael's job to come in and kiss his butt after he had his snake of an agent intentionally work with our most hated division rival (and allegedly the other two divisional teams)?

Here is an analogy (that didn't really happen I swear):

Is it my job to kiss my ex-girlfriend's butt when she goes and sleeps with my best friend because she's trying to win me back?

Well when that's what he's saying in a radio interview right from his own mouth what are we to believe???
