He probably finally realized he has no leverage in this matter and decided to take the high road instead of further ruining his reputation. This does not mean he won't become a distraction again next offseason.

I agree, this organization is setting precedence, that contracts will be negotiated at the proper time. The way Wilson handled his situation is a statement to the rest of the team.

What ever, I am glad to see DD get on board. The team needs to be focused from day one, because they will be a target for everyone they play this year.

Can you just hear the disappointment in Trey Wingo's voice?

The best things the Cardinals did this offseason was NOT trade DD or Q AND take care of their core in Kurt Warner and Adrian Wilson. This franchise has shown that it WILL financially reward its best players. That's a very good sign for Anquan and Darnell. But they can't jump the contract line just because they have (or had) Drew Rosenhaus as their representative IMO.

if you read his twitter, he cant even spell four letter words right. He did not post that, it has punctuation, good spelling and proper grammar

Although the message was without a doubt written for him I have no doubt that is what Dockett actually feels after speaking with the team and most likely after speaking with Wilson and seeing the huge hit to Boldins reputation when he went through his stuff before he shut up.

But Dockett also reserves the right to change his mind in a short amount of time, just like he did when he signed his current contract, saying nothing but sweet nothings about the FO and the team, then 51 weeks later not even a year into his new contract complaining about how the FO and team is mistreating him by not giving him a new contract and not showing up to OTA’s for two years in a row.

So I will take the good stuff right now and run with it until further notice.

I wonder what my employer would think if I sent him an e-mail stating that I am going to show up for work and I'm willing to take the pay we agreed upon. Way to go DD what do you want a medal for doing something that you already agreed you were going to do? :bang:

But first you would have to declare to the whole office that you were making a 'major announcement' that day.

:biglaugh:
