Entire NFC West in on Darnell Dockett, who will decide today

Dockett

The whole NFC West seems interested in Darnell Dockett, but we won’t have to wait long to see where his head is.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Dockett is expected to decide today where he’s going to play next year.

He visited the 49ers this week, and there’s reportedly some interest from the Rams and Seahawks as well.

The Cardinals have offered him a one-year deal worth up to $4 million if he hit all the incentives, so it will be curious to see if the 49ers are willing to match that.

While Dockett himself is a big story, any move he makes or doesn’t make could also be viewed as a sign about the future of 49ers defensive lineman Justin Smith, whose own future is cloudy.

If the 49ers know they’re looking for a replacement for Smith, they might be inclined to top the Cards’ offer for a guy who’ll turn 34 in May and is coming off a torn ACL.
