That's great and all - but are we in any position to be gambling with a player that is about to visit to organizations that are heads and tails above ours?
No.

Jeff and I finally agree on something!

Please pass it on brotha!

All I see are big black clouds ahead in the next 72 hours.

Yup. If they are not that far apart then damnit Cards just make up the difference to get his ass signed . . .

We need him more than he needs us. And in contract negotiations when that is the case, the party that needs the deal done just swallows (sorry, couldn't think of a better word) the differrence to ensure it gets done right now!

 

[SECTION 11]

Cardinals have told Robinson's agent that the Cards will contact him AFTER THE DRAFT. He's spending the night in San Francisco.

This if friggin ********. This blows. Un Freaking Believable.

Oh Great Howdy. I am now very displeased with you. How can you wait till after the draft to sign a WR? Are you caught in indecision? I thought you had a plan? I am losing faith in you Howdy. You are not very nice to us. You make us wait for no apparent reason. You are bad howdy....very very bad and not nice......

Waiting until after the draft is Graves' way of trying to lower the offer.He'll come back Monday and say we drafted 2 wr's so you're not worth as much to us.TYpical Cards assininity(is that a word?)

You see...Howdy talked to Buffalo Bidwill and he said...You did not wait the required 48hrs to make an offer. Therefore, as punishment, you will have to wait until after the draft.

You guys have lost it!!!

First, a WR who has missed most of 2 of the past 3 years and you'd sign him without checking him medically? No freaking way.

He never said he'd cancel, in fact Robinson said he'd HONOR his commitments and meet with the scheduled teams.

Lastly... anybody here wanna negotiate while scouting 300+ players? Nuh-uh...... I doubt ANY team will sign Robingson before the draft, not for lack of wanting, but we are 36 hours from D-Day here. Robinson knows it, the Cards know it but we all seem to forget.

I'm just saying we are flying off the handle without knowing anything really. If Graves spent the next four days getting Robinson here and has a crappy draft, would we be happier? Graves is half of the braintrust that will be selecting our team this weekend, and I'd like to see what happens before I declare this doomsday.

So far Gaves hasn't let me down this offseason. all of the "misses" in free agency seem valid... players didn't want to play here. He's trying to fix that. He's offered more money to those guys than other teams. That's him doing his job. boston is a "time will tell" situation at this point, regardless of our opinion of it.

When Robinson signs elsewhere, hen I'll be mad.

hey man - if they are cramming so much for the draft that they can't do anything else right now then I am afraid for what this drfat is gonna be like. The draft is less than 48 hours away - you should be relatively prepared by now.

AHHHH...I have one who is faithful......

 

[CardinalChris]

I just find it funny that we (including me) FLIPPED when we lost Boston and Plummer, then dd Cartwheels when Darling, Hodgins and Blake and Jackson signed...... Just wondering if we are a little impatient....

Graves won me over by sticking to his guns with Boston & Plummer, high offers to players we wanted and yanking the offer to Holliday when enough got to be enough. I think if the draft were last week, Robinson would be signed.

To me it's not being negative - it's being realistic.

Funny, that's what I said in another thread...I'm starting to repeat myself now...I'm already talking to myself...where's Tango? I need a dance with Prince Valiant!

I'VE LOST MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!!

That is exactly what I am saying. They have had since the combine to concentrate on the draft, with a small distraction of FA. If they aren't ready to go right now they may as well do a online poll to help them make their choices.

Graves offered Robinson a contract so he checked out medically (and presumably in his workout and interview). This is a position of need which could save a draft choice for another hole.

A GM or whateve the hell Rod Graves actually has many jobs - but his most important one is this - A SALESMAN! WHICH APPARENTLY HE SUCKS AT. We have gotten good free agents in the past, we have been scoffed at now -even with more money than God - to me that means HE IS NOT DOING HIS JOB! He is passive, or at least seems so and seems not to be able to mutli-task and he makes stupid decisions, clouded in mystery. A GM decides personell, but also has to sell his team to FAs!
