I listened to the interview last night. My impressions is that he is smart and is a very good debater. A guy of Gambo's intellect trying to put Drew on the hot seat is an unfair matchup. To Gambo's credit he tried but fell flat on his face within seconds of the interview.

I was very disappointed in both Gambo and Ash as I think they could have dug a little deeper with some of Drew's responses.

For example, Drew kept comparing guys like TO who had 1 year left on their deals getting their contracts redone to Anquan and Dockett who have multiple years left on their deals. I would have really hammered Drew on that one.

Drew kept saying it wasn't fair that Boldin and Dockett weren't making more money. I would have mentioned to Drew that hey, that is the way that the NFL is currently set up. Sure it's not always fair. However the Rules are the Rules.

Another thing I would have called Drew out on is that he was very proud of the fact that he hasn't had a client hold out in years and doesn't believe in holding players out. Yet later he says he will hold Boldin out if he isn't traded next year.

I would have called him out on Boldin never signing a new contract with the Cards. Especially when his client Briggs said exactly the same thing.

To Drew's credit he did correct Ash when Ash claimed the Cards were the cheapest franchise in the NFL. Drew went on to say that was completely untrue and that the Cardinals made Edge and Fitz the highest paid players at their positions. He also said he has a very good working relationship with Graves and Whisenhunt.

Drew is clearly good at what he does. That is why he has so many clients. He has a lot of Cardinals as clients (Boldin, Dockett, James, A. Smith, Rolle, and more). You just have to realize that most of what is coming out of his mouth is Agent talk so take it with a huge grain of salt.

Yeah Gambo and Ash sounded pretty dumb trying to get him with some hard questions. They should have definately stated hey there is a difference between a guy in his last year of a contract and guys with multiple years left on deals wanting new one just because they want more money. F*&# that you signed the deal that was a good deal for you at the time and now because you played better you want more money? If you start playing badly or get hurt are you giving money back? Thats what they should do give them contract and write in clauses that if they get injured or don't put up certain numbers then the Cards are not obligated to pay certain amounts of money in the contract. Yeah that would be too fair never gonna happen, but what the Cards can do is make them play out their contracts or just SIT and don't play and kill your own value as a player.
