Dockett gets paid

The Arizona Cardinals and DE/DT Darnell Dockett have agreed to a contract extension. According to Mike Jurecki of Xtra 910, it’s a four-year deal for $47-$50 million with $31 million guaranteed.

“Dockett deal is worth 47 to 50 million w/ 31 GTD… he got PD!,” he tweets.

Yes he did get paid. And he deserves it. He’s been phenomenal for the Cardinals, especially in his smooth transition to the 3-4 scheme. How many guys have we seen fail when a switch is made? Happens all the time.

Good for him. We have a feeling the Cardinals are going to clear up some cap space soon (ie, kick Leinart to the curb). The bad news for Dockett, though, is that he will now be in Arizona through 2015. At least the weather is nice.
