According to an official release via the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals have released defensive lineman Darnell Dockett.
Dockett has been with the Cardinals since 2004, but he missed the entirety of the 2014 season with a torn ACL. A three-time Pro Bowler and a former All-Pro, Dockett was instrumental in Arizona’s 2008-09 run to Super Bowl XLIII.
At 33 years old and coming off of a serious knee injury, the Cardinals decided to make a change and free up cap space.
The 6’4″ and 290-pound lineman has 40.5 sacks and 56 stuffs during his 10 active seasons. He’d been incredibly durable before 2014, having played in 158 out of a possible 160 regular season games.
The question is, where should he end up next?
