why would ANYONE decent want to play for the cardinals? let's face it, we suck and have sucked for a VERY LONG time. why should we expect a top-tier free agent to sign with us? so they can play in front of 21,000 fans in a 115 degree stadium and very very very rarely have a chance of playing in the postseason? we can get our panties in a bunch about this problem - but it IS a problem. green said it best because he realized this: no one player is going to come in and take us to the playoffs - the current players are the ones that have to step up. our REAL shot is when we do finally make the playoff (ala '98) - it is up to us to not repeat the mistakes of that offseason. but expecting someone to sign here (outside of a ridiculously high, senseless contract) is completely naive. let's do the best we can with what we have and what we can get - it IS possible! guys like hodgins and darling are what we're gonna get - we have to learn to win with them...

Players will go with whoever pays the most upfront.

Why do players sign with WASH every year. We know they will be losers and are you telling me the players don't?

Wade and Robaire signed with EXPANSION Houston.

Players sign with teams that give them the best upfront deal. The Bidwells' since they have no income other then the Cards don't want to pay upfront so these players sign elsewhere.
