visit went well, did not discuss contract

Not sure if Cards will give him what he wants and looks like there is interest from other teams.

Karlos Dansby had "good meeting" with Cards brass today. No contract discussed. Has interest from others including Jets, Houston and Atlanta.

Dansby told me "it would be good to finish where he started" so he is very excited about the possibilities in Arizona.

How you could take a negative bent towards him signing from those two reports shows you must have been a Cardinal fan for a while LOL...actually those reports look promising

Sorry, I didn't mean to appear to be negative just thought I was realistic. I would like to see him sign for sure.

I think the better fit is Nick Barnett. Barnett is one of the best cover LBers in the NFL---and he excels as a nickel LB.

The last time Barnett played in a 34 it was in Green Bay in 2009 when they switched to the 34 and slid Barnett down to the RILB spot (which is where he would be played here in AZ). Barnett ranked 2nd in the NFL at that position in 2009 behind Patrick Willis and just ahead of Ray Lewis.

Barnett is certainly worth a look. There are a few other lesser tier guys available also.

So far the new leadership for the Cardinals has demonstrated that they work on option B, while pursuing option A. My guess is that in this case they will do the same, and not put all their eggs in Dansby's basket.

For about an eighth of the player! What a deal!

Didn't say it was a good deal, just that anyone saying it was "almost the same deal" is complete exaggeration.

So far this offseason, FAs have been given an offer, and that offer is off the table if they leave. Time to read the tea leaves here.

I'd like Dansby back, but if we pay him any amount of money, that is VERY bad news on the DWash front. I'm not sure we would play those two together very much, it seems to me they play the same position. Brinkley and Minter play the "thumper ILB position".

I don't think you can read into it that much. Visit could have been a preliminary one to judge interest on both sides. Contract may not have even been offered at this time. Dwash has a prelim court appearance I think one today, and then one early next week. Cards could just be doing their due diligence and getting their ducks in a row if those two court appearances do not go well.

Not really the same situation! You are talking apples and oranges. When free agency started, Steve Keim had a list of targeted free agents and a dollar value. If the free agent left the facility, they moved on to the next target.

The Dansby situation is a reaction to the DWash situation IMO. Both Dansby and the Cardinals needed to go through the courtship ritual to determine the level of mutual interest. The deal may still happen, but knowing Dansby, he'll be playing the field for the highest offer. It's all about the Benjamins. That may be why the Cardinals apparently didn't give him an offer to shop.

If they were smart they shouldn't have given him an offer so whomever else he visits can set the bar. It could very well be lower than what the Cardinals had in mind which would have resulted in overpaying Dansby. Shake the tree and see what falls out.

There's not much to judge/learn here...Cardinals - "We need a starting LB position filled temporarily, you sir are currently unemployed." Dansby - "How much are your willing to pay?"

I'm thinking VM is dead on and the only scenario in which Dansby lands in AZ is if we're at the top of the market in what we're willing to pay.

The Cards' offer will tell us a lot about their beliefs in DW's situation.

I'm so tired of reading this. Here are the facts:

On March 5, 2010, Dansby signed with the Miami Dolphins to a five-year, $43 million contract with $22 million guaranteed, which made it the richest contract for an inside linebacker in NFL history

The Cardinals signed Bradley to a five-year, $25 million contract ($10 million guaranteed) in 2011.

Similar deal? How about HALF.

It was a similar contract. The guaranteed money was different. Two mill a year over the life of the contract is similar to me. The point being made was the Cards could have signed Dansby, didn't, and the following year gave similar money, not identical money, to Bradley, and it was another in a long line of blunders by Graves. And Bradley's saw about 18 mill of that 30 so it was similar. But that's beside the point.

The 29-year-old Bradley has been a disappointment since signing a five-year, $30 million contract with the Cardinals after the NFL lockout.

he Arizona Cardinals recently released linebacker Stewart Bradley, admitting the mistake they made in signing him to a five-year deal worth $30 million back in 2011.

Here's a fact from the AZ Republic:

The Cardinals didn't sign inside linebacker Stewart Bradley to a five-year, $30 million contract in July to stand on the sideline in the fall.

I made this post a while back but thought it'd be great to celebrate the 'Los back in town (not my actual video, most likely an ASFN member)

Yep I'm pretty blind. Didn't see the sticky. Mods please delete. Or leave here and laugh at my last 3 posts.

 

[AZCardsWin]

Mods,
In all my years of posting I never earned a "sticky" on one of my subject threads- but I did call this personnel move on April 3rd before anyone else- could I get a sticky for a week or so

Go Cardinals!
