Just my opinion-The Marcus Trufant rumor is pure try to coax a trade BS.

[Lomax to Green 84]

Look at the clues and every single one of them leads directly to Terrell Suggs. The Cards brass was honked off that Donavon McNabb couldn't be put on the ground with a broken leg. The Cards tried desperately to sign Rosevelt Colvin (pure pass rusher), and Vonnie Holliday (solid pass rusher). They have been dead last in the league in sacks the last 2 years.

The Trufant rumor is for one purpose only: to see if any team like New Orleans will panic and give up the farm for a chance at Trufant (who they reportedly are in love with). Maybe New Orleand is counting on Trufant being there at #7 (Minnesota) or #8 (Jacksonville) and already have offers on the table to these two teams to move up and get him. The Cards then float out the rumor that they may take him and try to get the Saints to come to them with a bigtime trade down offer.

Simply last minute posturing. Terrell Suggs has not been my guy but that doesn't mean he isn't the best guy for the Cards. He wants to play in Arizona, he is the best pass rusher period and the Cards are the team with the most need of any team in the league when it comes to pass rushers.

27 hours from now Terrell Suggs will be a Cardinal. No doubt about it.

I agree also. Suggs sure will look good in a Cards uniform.....I wonder if he will have the neck thingy on his pads like he did in college, and like DJ has?

I liked the red-on-red the best. Most of the guys here liked the white-on-white more, but I couldn't get over the fact that our linemen looked like the took dumps in their pants with them on.

LOL, I didn't think they looked that bad.

The Cardinals need to go back to the black trim they used to have. Black Facemasks would also add a nice touch as long as the helmets aren't changed.

All in all, I would have to say the we have one of the top three best looking uniforms in the NFL.

I kind of hope the new uniforms are way different. Kind of like the Buccs....it would be cool if the team drastically changed:

a) the look (the uniforms)
b) the perception (turned it around)
c) the location (new stadium).

I see your point, but if there's one thing that the Cardinals stand for, is true NFL Tradition!

While I would love to see a radical departure from their current stylings, I would always be ready for a "Throwback Day" once or twice a year...

I hope you are right. I will have faith in the GREAT HOWDY if he is able to pull off a trade. I would be willing to trade down to 10-14 range and pick up another #2. We need some talent.

I agree. The Saints really want Newman or Trufant. My guess is that these Trufant rumors are to influence a trade.

One can only hope...

Here is an article I found that states NO has contacted the Cards:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=letsmakeadeal&prov=cnnsi&type=lgns

"Arizona is not as locked in on Suggs as has been commonly believed. He remains a possibility, but the Cardinals are serious about other options, such as Washington State cornerback Marcus Trufant or trading down. The Saints and Cardinals have talked, and New Orleans has a better deal on the table to get up Arizona's No. 6 than they do to trade with No. 7 Minnesota.

The Saints in either case would be moving to land Trufant, unless Newman should somehow linger beyond the top five.

Arizona doesn't seem to have one player it has fallen in love with, and thus can be enticed to move down. That said, head coach Dave McGinnis isn't among those who think Suggs' second slow 40 time has damaged his draft status.

"I don't know where the perception came from that he was a 4.5 guy," McGinnis said Wednesday night. "Nobody was ever saying he was. He's a 4.8 guy, but he plays extremely fast from the line to the quarterback. We've got him evaluated as a football player, not just as a workout guy."

Suggs fills a need for the Cardinals. So does Trufant. So would a receiver, although neither of the big two are expected to be there at No. 6. So a trade into the middle of the round -- New Orleans holds No. 17 and 18 -- makes some sense.


As for the Saints, they're talking to the Cardinals, Vikings, Ravens and at least one other top 10 team. Ideally, they want to get up into the top seven and take Trufant or Newman, but they're uncertain whether anyone will pull the trigger on the other end. If Trufant should last until No. 10, a deal with Baltimore could come into play.

New Orleans is more likely to trade up than to sit tight, and is willing to give up both of its first-rounders. The Saints are asking to get something back in the way of a 2004 pick in order to surrender both of this year's No. 1s, but they probably won't be able to extract that unless they get two teams bidding against one another.
