The Cardinals announced during a news conference Wednesday that they have signed two-time Pro Bowl DT Darnell Dockett to a contract extension that runs through the 2015 season. The deal is worth up to $48 million over four years with $30 million guaranteed, a league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora.

Yeah, right. Brett Favre will play for the Vikings in 2010. I don’t believe America has been this united on a subject since we unanimously agreed that the ending of “The Sopranos” was really lame.

Brian Westbrook is doing his part to give every indication he’s training to play in 2010. Where he plays is still the big question.

Darnell Dockett sent a pretty clear message to new teammate Kerry Rhodes via Twitter.

Darnell Dockett of the Arizona Cardinals didn’t pull any punches during a live chat on NFL.com when asked what he would do if he were a teammate of Albert Haynesworth.

Come on people, isn’t there a better use for Twitter other than to talk trash?

Thank goodness for Twitter. Because how else would 49ers TE Vernon Davis and Cardinals LB Darnell Dockett be able to keep their “feud” going during this offseason?

The NFC is first up for practice Thursday, and the players have already changed and are getting to position meetings. Among them are Vikings RB Adrian Peterson and Falcons WR Roddy White, who missed the first day of practice yesterday as a late addition.

Just because it’s Pro Bowl doesn’t mean there isn’t some offseason recruiting going on. Darnell Dockett said Wednesday he’d gladly give up his No. 90 jersey to fellow Pro Bowler Julius Peppers, on the condition Peppers would join him on the Arizona Cardinals.

The 2010 Pro Bowl got more of an official start Tuesday night when the players and coaching staffs of the AFC and NFC teams met at the team hotel for a few introductions and to discuss some orders of business.

The NFL fined Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett $7,500, a league source told NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, for shoving his elbow against Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck‘s neck after the play was over last Sunday.

Teams have released their Week 9 injury reports through Thursday. Here’s a look at some of the notable names.
