Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Hot stuff!!!
Hey, can we merge all of these James threads?
Hey, can we merge all of these James threads?
I do not think they necessarily changed course but that they had Plan A and Plan B. By this I mean they probably always wanted to bring Edge in but with two plans. Plan A to sign him to a 1yr contract if there was an uncapped year in 07( I could not see Edge signing longer than that in this scenario) and Plan B to bring him in and offer him SA money and sell him on the new Stadium and new direction of the Cardinals. A long term contract will be the best for both parties and I hope that he does not leave Az without being blown away by a better offer than anyone else will give him. Whether he will sign it is another story. We always seem to be the bridesmaid. Maybe not anymore.nidan said:I expect would he had a plan for both contingencies.
This also assumes that he didn't intend to bring EJ in both plans, which we do not know to be a fact.
DKCards said:Why wait till Saturday. I say bring him in Friday night.....
nidan said:Maybe we are just a bargaining chip, but if we don't play we can't win the hand.
Stranger things have happened.
nidan said:Actaully admiting that maybe you were over reacting at first ??
Stout said:Well, the FA period begins Saturday morning at 12...you can't bring him in Friday night. But I agree...12:01, he's in our office!

NEZCardsfan said:Isn't E. James one of those guys that you have to "show love" to?? What if he just straight up feels Indy is disrespecting him........if the money is the same why wouldn't he sign here??
Our field will save his knees. He seems like he'd be a DG guy. There is no room for him in Florida. And the chicks out here are right good looking.
Oh great....I'm getting my hopes up.
Cards Czar said:I would also take him down to the New Stadium and show him around. Tell him that this is the new home that EDGE built. Make him feel wanted.
ajcardfan said:That's Eastern time. Here, he can be in at 10:01 tonight.
You can make Edge feel wanted by signing a really big check. Edge has never been shy about admitting that money came first and everything else was secondary, which I can't blame him for consideing the situation he and his family grew up in. I'm willing to bet anybody that he goes to whatever team offers him the opportunity to make the most money.Cards Czar said:I would also take him down to the New Stadium and show him around.

Stout said:I think you're right. I think Edge is tired of playing third fiddle, and here he'd fit right in. Warner's not going to hog attention. Both Boldin and Fitz are humble guys. James isn't a loudmouth on a team. He has quietly gone about his job, but I think he has been peaved that he's considered the puzzle piece that doesn't matter.

ajcardfan said:I would tell him what Cotton Fitzsimmons told Charles Barkley when he showed him the Suns new arena.
"This place was built without you, and it will be filled after your gone. There's one reason why you're here. And, that's to put championship banners right up there."
Now that is a great IdeaAzCards21 said:Jenna Jamison lives here. Maybe she could take James on the stadium tour for some added insurance.
Rats said:Now that is a great Idea
Two different circumstances. Barkley was playing for years with a perennial loser and wanted to get a chance to play for a winner. The thought of winning a championship motivated him as much as Charles could be motivated.ajcardfan said:I would tell him what Cotton Fitzsimmons told Charles Barkley when he showed him the Suns new arena.

vinnymac said:like someone said before. why would the cardinals tell james to bring his agent if the cardinals were not going to after him.
Shane H said:Why would we admit that? We were upset due to the words that were coming right out of Green and Graves mouth. We had no reason to doubt what they were saying based on the past two years of action.
Odds are they changed their tune when they realized they will have almost an extra 8 million in cap space to work with.
Shane H said:Actually its not considering the last interview I saw with said that the only man she would ever be with from here on out was her husband. She is into women only.
But granted that was two years ago. Maybe she changed her mind.
