Those others being the other 31 teams?

We should fix that title to read:

Dansby interested in money.

Sounds like he will go where ever the money is.

 

[TJ]

I'm sure Los wants to sign for a contender, but from what I've gathered over the past 2 years, he is still going to pursue the biggest pay day, even if someone like the Lions egregiously overpay.

Man, you're being way too harsh on Dansby... you attacked him in a separate thread as well.
All I can say is I wish other players were as "greedy" as Dansby has been.
I am not at all suggesting he is worth what he is about to get paid, but IMO, unlike so many others - including Boldin and Dockett, he kept his mouth shut and let the situations play out. In the end, he was tagged twice and made a ton of money as a result, and now that he is one of only a few quality UFA's, he's about to have a truck-load of cash parked outside his house! Good for Karlos!

And no, he won't be going to Detroit... won't have to. The Fins, Skins or Giants will make him the right offer.

Not at all! Im not attacking Los, I am simply pointing out facts about his motives.

Plus, I agree he deserves a pay day. I just think he's cutting his nose to save his face. His motives are clear: I want the biggest pay day. Not once have I heard him say he would take a pay cut to be with a contender or stay with the Cards

I do disagree; however, that he has kept his mouth shut. The man who kept his mouth shut was AW. When I used to listen to local radio, every time the contract situation was brought up it was all about "being the franchise player and deserving to be paid as such." AW refused to talk about it.

The one thing that rubbed me the wrong way was when he was offered a substantial contract and subsequently fired his agent.

What happened to your reading comprehension? Where the heck did he say anything "harsh" about Dansby?

 

[Lagerfilled]

Is any of this surprising? We knew last year he would make it difficult for us to sign him long term. He's going to go somewhere that the grass looks greener and that's not AZ. It's too bad, but don't let the door hitcha Los!

 

[joeshmo]

I dont think he is going to the Giants. I think the Giants are going to be a little gun shy after they spent their wads on crappy defensive talent last year in free agency.

 

[HookemCards]

Any chance that Dansby gets wined and dined, but in the end the teams don't offer him anymore than we do? I mean, i'd be shocked if some team pays him more than 6m a year. Would we be willing to match that? Obviously the structure would have to met as well. Have the Cardinals just completely crossed him off the list. I just don't think he's going to hit the massive payday he thinks he is.

Well, if there is one team that might potentially overpay him it is Washington. I know they said they weren't going to this year but we've heard that before. Something about the start of free agency makes Daniel Snyder's checkbook open up.

My prediction: If he doesn't get overpaid by Washington, we will bring him back.

I think Dansbys gone and the Cards should prepare accordingly.Bye Karlos and don1t let the door hit you in the ass.IMO he hasn`t justified his salary with his play.Way too inconsistent.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

. Not once have I heard him say he would take a pay cut to be with a contender or stay with the Cards.

Why should he? You hit th problem right on the head. I remember last year before the SB they were interviewing Graves and he said something to the effect of signing guys who are willing to give hometown discounts. Why should a player take a discount to play with one team over another? Dansby and Graves both know what offers will be out there. I think if the Cards offer him a competitive deal he'll stay. Don't give me the , they had a deal last year, either, because ,according to KD that was not the case. The Cards could have easily leaked they were close to the media when it wasn't really the case. It wouldn't b the fist time something like that happened.

 

[blindseyed]

This what happens when I hear about yet another Dockett or Dansby twitter

He justified his salary with one play. It was worth every penny of the money Fox,NBC,ESPN,the season ticket holders etal paid him last year to watch him run into the endzone with the game winner against Green Bay.

Just like it was worth every penny paid to Fitzgerald for the '08 season just to watch him racing into the endzone to give the Cards the lead in the Super Bowl.

The door that Dansby goes through will also likely be the door opposing offenses rush through on their way to the endzone.

The funny part is that as good as Dansby is, he is replaceable because of the system that we play. What strikes me is that Dansby makes the majority of his big plays out of our nickel packages which free him up to use his athleticism. When he was inside in the 3-4 he very rarely made plays behind the line of scrimmage. If anything, because of the system we run, we are losing a fantastic nickel linebacker and an average 3-4 inside backer.

Potential suitors...Eagles, Redskins, Raiders, Rams, Falcons.

I think it was the defensive system that we were allowed to use because Dansby possesses such prodigious talent. Dansby wasn't asked to make plays behind the LOS because he was forced to match up on TEs and RBs in space and keep outside contain as the OLBs were trying to make plays up the field (which is their role).

Every time you saw AW close to the LOS, that meant that Dansby was playing the deep middle of the field.

We will be losing a fantastic THREE DOWN linebacker, and are going to have to draft or sign two or three players to attempt to make up for what we already have on the roster.

I'm not sure why Los should give the Cards a home-town discount, either. Two years ago they couldn't wait to bad-mouth him to the media and talk about how he's lazy and the Cards weren't sure they could depend on him for the long term. Now he's a two-year captain and the guy who calls the alignments on D and we're going to lose him over a little guaranteed money.

This was his first year being voted as a captain, he is not a two year captain. 08 was Wilson and Hayes I believe.

Second, Dansby himself already told us in an interview with Somers that the Cards were right in their assessment two years ago saying that he had to grow up a lot the last two years, and how he was always working on nagging injuries.

Dansby is replaceable, but it won't be easy. Sergio Kindle is a possibility, but I feel Brandon Graham would best be able to replace him that we have a chance at. Now if we could get Rolondo McClain...? Graham would be a monster for the Cards defense!!!6'2", 263, 4.75..you figure that Lott could get his strength and flexibility up and weight down to 255-257.OLB...

Graham and Kindle don't play Dansbys position so how are either a possibility to replace him?

 

[lauraw]

joeschmo, you are the expert, i just know we need inside and olb's...youare right your in the big bad meanies club!

Why couldn't Kindle play the WILB position? He's the same size as Dansby and just as fast.

People seem to think just about any over the hill NFL MLB and any of several other college LBs who have never played WILB in a 3-4 could do it easily so why not Kindle?

Matt Jones is just as big and faster than Fitz. Skill-sets are different, Fitz catches footballs in traffic, whereas Jones snorts eight-balls in parking lots.

Kindle is a good rusher and will be taken early on account of that. Maybe he could play the WILB, but you wouldn't waste a pick that early in the draft with no proof IMO.

Just about every draft analyst and scout say he's strickly an OLB or DE. The one player in the draft that might be able to step right in and play Dansby's spot is Weatherspoon (McClain will be long gone by 26).

I've watched Kindle play for 4 years. He does have the necessary skill set. But I doubt anyone but me would draft him to play WILB.

Just when looking at replacements for Dansby consider that of the twelve 3-4 teams I checked eight have 1st or 2nd round picks listed as #1 WILB on their depth chart.
