Hasselback In Tennessee

[TRW]

Mike & Mike just reported multi year deal with the Titans.

Another chip falls....

tick, tick tick, tick tick.....

HasselbEck....HasselbEck.....

 

[Goldfield]

Good signing for them.... get Orton and move on.

 

[spanky1]

I agree

 

[Lagerfilled]

Cards are bidding against themselves. Offer a 2nd and give Reid until CoB today to accept, then move on to Orton before Miami swoopes in. The fact other teams aren't interested in Kolb should tell us everything.

 

[Chopper0080]

The Cardinals are putting themselves behind the 8 ball in this deal by not making decisive moves. Their waffling will cost them in the end I think.

 

[Cheesebeef]

not good.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I was afraid he would go after that Tennessee connection. Now the Cards are down to two choices. Kolb or Orton.

The only two that are worth acquiring....

Wait, now I am even more confused. First, the Cards have to move fast. Then, they have to take there time or they will have overpaid. Now, they are waffling?

 

[az240zz]

it just appears as if they can't make a decision and then make the moves to complete that decision.

Based on the fact that we are 24 hours into this??? It makes no sense to trade for Kolb before you lock up a new contract for the guy and Kevin's agent is probably going to play this for all it's worth. Add in the fact that Philly is clearly going to want as much as they can possibly get and it seems reasonable that this deal would take a few days. Even if we forego the Kolb trade because the price is too high, it's going to take a little time before the negotiating process reveals this fact.

Whoa! Slow Down

What we're down to is Miami and the Cards needing a starting QB and Orton and Kolb being the two high profile QB's available. (There's no supply & demand inbalance).

We figure to get one of them - and since (assuming in the worst case that Miami ends up with Orton) - this effectively eliminates any bidding war for Kolb. We should be in a better position to get him at more reasonable terms.

Or - If Miami doesn't get Orton - we can.

Bottom line - That's not too bad a deal. Things are breaking better/not worse for us.

Exactly. If they think Kolb is the guy (or Orton for that matter) isn't is worth waiting a day or so? Especially now since the market for them has shrunk?

An alternate take on the signing -I tend to agree with Prisco on this subject.

Yep. He is an interception machine.
