TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) _ The Arizona Cardinals have signed Pro Bowl
defensive tackle Darnell Dockett to a four-year contract extension.
The deal keeps Dockett under contract through the 2015 season. A
third-round draft pick out of Florida State in 2004, Dockett has
developed into one of the best at his position entering his seventh
NFL season as the high-spirited leader of the Arizona defense.
He had a career-high nine sacks in the 2008 regular season. His
seven sacks last season were the most for an NFL defensive tackle.
Dockett‘s three sacks against the Pittsburgh Steelers two seasons
ago tied Reggie White‘s Super Bowl record.
Dockett has started 81 consecutive games going into this season.
