Do the Cards abandon common sense and pursue Hugh Douglas at this point?

I think things are desperate.

I say yes. We need a pass-rusher. Chike Okeafor is not a marquee pass-rusher.

Why not - at this point, overpaying a veteran seems to be a moot point......

Douglas would never sign here unless his contract was in the 7.5 million a year range with a HUGE signing bonus...

Yeah, I think we'd have to promise Douglas the governor's mansion and hourly ******** at this point.

ESPN says Douglas is strongly considering resigning with the Eagles to stay with a winner.

I Guess Not.....

We have 24-34 mill to spend and no one to spend it on.


I guess all the talent we have on this team will be getting a pay raise so we can spend our minimum.....

Bidwill needs that extra 10mill to help pay for his stadium...

Now with Colvin off the market you have to go after him and go after him hard. What will it take for a player to come to arizona?

I would. I get the feeling the reason he's reconsidering Philly is because the money wasn't there anywhere else.

Also - Let's not forget that Holliday and Okeafor are still in play.

Neither is any better than average in the pass rush. Colvin was a marquee pass rusher.

Forgive me for not being real excited about the consolation prizes.

I think we needed Colvin and Holliday/Okefer.

Some how I feel stuck with the ugly sister....

I think we need to phone these guys and ask will they come here at any price so we do not waste a visit and make a fools of us by turning our offer down for a lower offer somewhere else. Is there really anyone out there that "wants" to play for the AZ Cardinals or "will" play for them? Has any team ever had this much trouble trying to get any FA? Where is Bidwill these days? Is he on vacation? Does this guy ever give interviews? Hell, I see Jerry Jones on TV evertime I turn it on. He is in Little Rock about once a month giving speeches and answering any and all questions. The Bidwills besides being inept owners have no idea how to handle public relations. In the military you always try to keep the troops informed. Lack of information is terrible and leads to all we see on this board. If Graves has some sort of plan tell us. If he is making good offers and recognizes talent does not want to come here then tell us Rod. We can conjure up worse things than the reality of what ever your failed plan is. Get out in front on this Cardinals. This is just further proof of a failed organization.

Ahh, they'll all say "yes" to drive up their price.
