There are still three years remaining on Dockett's current contract, but he is seeking a new deal. For this reason, he did not participate in the team’s voluntary workout this summer.
According to the Cardinals statements, they will consider Dockett's demand only after they solved contract issues of linebacker Karlos Dansby and Boldin.
“From the first day of training camp and on, I will not let my contract issues distract me or my team from reaching our goals,” Dockett wrote on his Twitter page. “I also look forward to playing with my teammates and defending our NFC championship title, and I am looking forward to a great season.”
Dockett said that it was his own idea to post his feelings via Twitter. He also wrote that he believed Cardinals will win the NFC West. He did not yet consider to put on patriots jersey.
