Dockett released by 49ers

[Snakester]

I can see him coming back to the Cards.

 

[overseascardfan]

Oh Snap!!!!

 

[thephoenixson28]

His pride won't bring him back.

 

[Snakester]

His pride won't bring him back.

I think he would come back if asked. He loved playing for us. I think it will come down to money though. If another team offers him more then I think he will chase the money.

 

[WindCardinal]

I honestly don't want him back. We have a young, deep group.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Would love to see 90 finish his career in Cardinal Red!!

I don't think another team will pay him more. If he couldn't even make it on a depleted 49ers team, I don't think he gets more. I think players will ask him to come back like Peterson and tyrann mathuie

 

[Arizona_Steve]

He can coach from the sidelines. Not sure who I'd cut to get him on the team.

 

[RINGLESS]

DO NOT BRING HIM IN!

I watched his snaps on the 49ers games. He got zero push. Every play he got stood up during preseason. Zero penetration. He never was able to get leverage. He would be a liability. He is just done, we have more talent here and he would be taking away from that. What ever roster spot we gave up would be a downgrade

If all he wants is the $$ - it is DD after all - his career is over. No way the Cards will offer him the same contract as before after being cut by Santa Clara.

 

[TJ]

Whose spot is he taking on the line? I'd argue that at his age and current injury status, he'd be less productive than anyone else.

 

[Cheesebeef]

ha. awesome.

he's done and this team has moved on.

 

[Zeno]

I hope he catches on with somebody but don't think he is needed here.

 

[MadCardDisease]

The Cardinals are already going to have to most likely cut two quality players from the DL. There is no room for Dockett. That cord has been cut and it's time to move on...

 

[TRW]

Appreciate what DD did for the Cards, my black jersey is a DD jersey. But, he is done and I would not want him to take a roster spot on one of the young guys. Maybe a one day and retire deal but that's all.

Thanks for the memories DD and good luck whatever you end up doing.

 

[Jetstream Green]

This is about winning and not paying tribute to players who act like the teams, it is the business of winning... and for some players like Dockett, winning becomes about making the most money

 

[gmabel830]

DD'oh!

 

[RON_IN_OC]

He got his $2 Million, so I'm not crying for him at all.

 

[SweetD]

I would bring him back. He had a broken rib, during pre season. He will be a rotation guy, but he would have to be OK with that.

According the the 49ers Jim Tomsula:

"Yeah, it's cartilage," Tomsula said Wednesday, via ESPN.com. "The crack is in the cartilage, which is treated like a contusion. It's not the bone. If it was the bone, we would be talking about something different (and more serious)."

It's still a very painful injury to play with.

 

[jeeperaz]

Did anyone else watch him a week ago? It was not good. He was totally man-handled by o-lineman and had no push at all. Kinda like 2013 but worse.

 

[jmt]

Unless he can punt I don't think we need him either.

 

[WisconsinCard]

It's a tough injury to come back from especially a D lineman. It usually takes a good year and a half to come back from major knee injury.

 

[D-Dogg]

Man, our timing was impeccable.

 

[Dback Jon]

If he wanted to hang up his cleats, which I think he should, I would love for him to retire a Cardinal.

One day contract, then he can arm-wrestle Wolf for the color spot.
