Darnell Dockett gave his Twitter followers a play-by-play account when he was pulled over by police recently. The Cardinals defensive lineman was clearly agitated while posting a series of tweets during the incident Monday. Dockett tweeted that police told him he was pulled over because he was speeding, and they wanted to search his car. "I don't know why the police always messing w/me," he tweeted. Dockett eventually tweeted he was about to be let go, and updated his Twitter page a few hours later by saying he did not receive a ticket from police.

From 2006 to 2009, the Arizona Cardinals gave dozens of state lawmakers free tickets -- including premium seats in the owner's loft -- to NFL games. The goal, according to the organization was to improve its standing at the Arizona Legislature after losing battles to the Fiesta Bowl over stadium-sharing issues. For years, the Fiesta Bowl curried legislative favor by doling out free game tickets and taking lawmakers on expensive out-of-state trips.

Jason La Canfora of NFL.com believes that Philadelphia's Kevin Kolb is the quarterback most likely to be traded once the league year resumes. "It's go West young man. Most of the people I talk to in the league believe it's a two-horse race between Arizona and Seattle," La Canfora writes. "The Eagles want first-round compensation, and if the market bears only a second and a little something else, then sources say there is a very real chance Philly holds on to him as insurance for 2011. Ultimately, I think they get the first-round pick for him, though. If not, he stays."

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and Texans coach Gary Kubiak will visit troops in the Persian Gulf this summer on an NFL USO tour. The father-and-son Moras will also take part in the third annual coaches tour. Whisenhunt and Kubiak were asked to participate last summer and weren't able to, so both were thrilled to finally have the chance.

With a labor agreement on the horizon, Joey Porter's time with the Cardinals may be coming to an end. The veteran linebacker is scheduled to earn $5.75 million in base salary next season and only a million is guaranteed for injury, according to a source.

NFL employees have had their salaries trimmed by 12 percent since April. Those reductions will increase if there's no labor deal by August and seven teams have instituted pay cuts or furloughs since the lockout began March 12. The teams are the Bills, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Chiefs, Dolphins, Jets and Lions.

Cardinals rookie cornerback Patrick Peterson's value was enhanced by his kick-returning ability, but team insiders don't believe he'll regularly return kicks. "Since they expect him to be an elite, every-down corner, I think they will be very judicious as far as using Peterson as a returner," one team insider said. "I think they will use him in spot situations, but I think Andre Roberts will remain the starting punt returner, and LaRod Stephens-Howling will definitely remain the starting kickoff returner."
