What are the Cardinals Thinking?

The Arizona Cardinals may not have turned the corner like many of us thought. As a team they made it to the Superbowl and came up one defensive stand short of winning the thing against a much superior team. They did this because of two players in my opinion. The first player was Larry Fitzgerald. That guy is a beast and in my opinion is the best player at his position in the game. The other guy was the old, thought to be washed up quarterback, Kurt Warner. That guy had an amazing season and those two guys put that team on their backs and almost won that organization a world championship.

Larry Fitzgerald is signed for a long time for a lot of money so he won't have any issues for a long time. Warner, as you all know, is having issues. The guy wants 14 to 16 million a season for a couple seasons just until he retires.

He is the face of the franchise, a pro bowl caliber player and all around team guy.

So it's a no brainer right? Pay him what he wants and let him finish his career with the Cardinals.

No, the Cardinals are being the Cardinals and low balling the guy and offering 20 mil for 2 years.

I think that is ridiculous. They owe Warner something. Do they really think Matt Leinart will come in and do some of the things Warner did. Hell no! Forget it!

I'm glad Warner decided to go visit the division rivals over in San Fran. I personally don't think he ever had any intention of signing with them but at least he made forced Arizona's hand. The part I don't like is that Arizona hasn't budge and now they are leaving it up to Warner to make the decision. Warner, in my opinion did the right think and is going to compromise with the Cards and probably sign for what they want him to.

It bugs me that Arizona wouldn't pay him what he wanted though. That guy is your team pretty much and you have the audacity to low ball him and play mind games with him.

It just shows what kind of franchise Arizona really is and why they have been bottom dwellers for so long before last season.

The Cardinals front office and owner and all those guys got what they wanted but they should be ashamed that it came to what it did. Like I said before, they owed that guy something and they didn't give him anything.
