JAMES ASKED CARDS TO CUT HIM

Though he’s apparently committed not to creating a distraction for the 7-3 Cardinals by publicly complaining about his current status with the team, we’re told that running back Edgerrin James asked the team to release him in the wake of his recent benching.

To little surprise, the team declined.

Let him go. Makes it all but certain he will be gone next year anyway.

Uh, I think Edge will play alot more this weekend. We will need his pass blocking skills against the G-Men rush.

Yup

Would be a stupid stupid stupid move to cut him at this point. Won't happen.

Isn't this PFT? All conjecture anyway.....

Because contrary to what Edge says, I think a lot of us think this is a move that he would do.

Ultimately, this makes me wonder if Edge was going to be deactivated for the game this weekend against the Giants.

Now, I may be wrong, but I think that James will get his salary, even if the Cards cut him.

So, I don't see why the Cards would feel any need to cut him now.

Likewise, I don't see any decent team that needs a running back right now.

So, James, given the choice between playing for a bad team but getting more carries and yards for his HOF resume, and sticking it out with the playoff-bound Cardinals that may need him if the injury bug strikes, makes his choice.

James to Cardinal Nation: "It's all about ME."

Wow talk about bombshells, I kept saying how professional he was being in all this.

It's just another football site to fill the time between Sundays. That is why I qualified the title with the "(PFT)". You always take their stuff with a grain of salt.

BTW, they have been dead-on on alot of their stuff lately. Plus, they bash ESPN, which is always fun.

Until Urban or Somers confirms it, I won't take it seriously. Even if it is true, I'm not worried about it. It won't affect the team's performance.

Because some people believe that Edge has always been about himself first and the team second. I'm not necessarily saying that is a bad thing. That inner drive that he has is part of what makes him so great. I'm not saying that he is TO incernate either. I truly feel that Edge is a player-first not team-first type of guy.

That's all.
