The best situation is to fix it so Dockett doesn't want to leave. Making a move that convinces the guys on defense that changes are going to be made so that no longer will it happen that despite their best efforts the Cards lose 8 games in a row.
We're a player or two away from being an elite defense. One that just dominates offenses not just bend but not break and block FGs. To tear it up would be another 2 steps forward 5 steps back that has been the hallmark of the Cardinals franchise for most of the last 50 years.
This is why we need a GM a NEW FREAKING GM.
This is an unmitigated mess, caused by not having a strong GM, a GM who can sort this stuff out himself.
It's open mutiny season, Horton brings the hammer down on the guy and he freaks out, he disobeys an order then is rumored to do whatever, is fined for it then wants traded.
This is a disaster, then the team quits on both Horton and Whiz, now a good defensive player wants traded.
To me the only fix is to get a new GM and let them start building over, this is a cluster.
