Earlier today, a “ddockett” tweet said:

“Dockett fans, CARDINAL FANs, AND ALL SPORTS WRITERS AND ALL BLOGGER and any one else who wanna know I WILL MAKE AN ANNOUCMENT 2day @ 8:15.”

(I think Twitter needs a built-in spell checker, but based on the tweets I’ve seen from some NFL players, I’m not sure it would matter.) Anyway, that 8:15 p.m. announcement happened around 8:40 and said:

“I am happy to announce that after meeting with the team recently, I have full faith and confidence in the Cardinals organization and I am looking forward to a great season. 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. I also look forward to playing with my teammates and defending our NFC championship title and I appreciate the support I’ve received from all my fans this offseason – WE WILL WIN THE NFC WEST. FYI to all, No this was not a DREW ROSENHAUSE call or idea, THIS is how I feel and I’m sticking to it. Thanks agan to all the DDOCKETT FANS.”

With the 140 character limit, that took him five tweets to complete. But aside from the guarantee, that was rather anticlimactic as far as I’m concerned. At the very least, I was anticipating dollars and cents. Apparently, Darnell has been promised something and that works for him.
