Arizona Cardinals<\/strong> defensive end Darnell Dockett<\/strong> is being fined $200,000<\/strong> by the team for conduct detrimental to the team, according to NFL’s Albert Breer<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Breer said that the NFL Players Association<\/strong> already has begun the progress of filing a grievance on Dockett’s behalf.<\/p>\n

After the fine was announced, Dockett wrote on his Twitter, “ Thank God for the @<\/s>nflpa<\/strong><\/em> that’s all I got to say… “I ain’t got no worries”<\/p>\n

The punishment comes after last weekends game when teammate Kerry Rhodes<\/strong> and Dockett argued on the field – it was reported that Dockett spit in Rhodes face, but Rhodes was quick to release a statement on Tuesday saying that was not true.<\/p>\n

The team is showing that Dockett’s behavior on the field is not acceptable and is putting a message out there to players that it won’t be tolerated.<\/p>\n

Dockett is in year three of a six-year, $56 million contract with the Cardinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
