Villain The Foe Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12425652/ex-arizona-cardinals-dt-darnell-dockett-signs-rival-san-francisco-49ers Defensive end Darnell Dockett will stay in the NFC West next season, signing with the San Francisco 49ers, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, announced Thursday on Twitter. Dockett signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the 49ers, with $4 million being paid in the first season and $2 million guaranteed, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Dockett's 11-year run with the Arizona Cardinals ended after last Friday when he was released by the team. The Cardinals were open to re-signing him at a lower rate than the $6.8 million he was scheduled to earn in 2015. Dockett, 33, missed all of the 2014 season after tearing his ACL during training camp last August. Before last season, Dockett missed two games in 10 seasons. He finished his career with the Cardinals with 459 tackles, 40.5 sacks, 12 fumble recoveries, seven forced fumbles and four interceptions. His three sacks in Super Bowl XLIII tied Reggie White for most in a Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Sorry, no way in hell do a pay a guy that much money( contract isn't big but it's still 6 mill guaranteed) @ 33 years old coming off an ACL! Not with the weight these guys carry & playing inside. I'm gonna say he won't be even close to the guy people remember, bad move by the 49ers.

Guys like Landry and Kyle Wilson should be getting more respect for what they have contributed to this team.......LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Mannnn, would have been a great key reserve. However add a million more and that should be enough for a CB2 like House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully28 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Honestly, think this is a bad deal, Dockett is 33 and coming off an ACL, strong knees are crucial for OL and DL. Remember Kris Jenkins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, once we actually start signing players, the dopes pining for Spiller and Stevie will fade away and we can talk about normal things again. Like butt secks and murdering T0mshane.

Beerfish Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Memories....Jenkins was such a sheer and utter beast for us his one healthy year. He'd just swat 300 pound olineman around like nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like butt secks and murdering T0mshane. But until you deem them as having satisfactorily learned their lesson you plan on repeating this every time a former Bills or Cardinals player's name is mentioned? You are aware that every new coach - both good and bad - tends to bring in players from their prior stop(s), yes? The discussion of such is nothing to get your panties in a bunch about, love. Or do you think this relative void of new Jets discussion topics is better filled with even more in-thread derailment about a coach who is no longer with the team?

I remember that one. Just an unbelievable talent for a man that large. Freaking shame we got so few healthy games out of him. He made Mangini's defense more or less by himself. Or it certainly seemed so. When he got hurt in '08, the defense went from beastly right back to horsesh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 actually...Top 5 most dominant players I'd ever seen play (length of time not withstanding) 1. Bo Jackson 2. Lawrence Taylor 3. Jerry Rice 4. Kris Jenkins 5. Deion Sanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was such a monster. He had a few of these plays that year. Did you know the greatest coaching job that Tom Shane had ever seen was Rex Ryan's ability to still field a #1 D after Jenkins went down? True story. Best magic trick he's ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I remember a RB the Tuna brought in for a 1st and 3rd pick plus a big contract ran for 3.5 ypc in 1998 and blew us away with 14 great yds in the AFCCG.. But he wasn't done the first game next season he fumbled and Vinny snapped his achilles trying to recover it..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
