Please God no, I hope the 49ers don't sign him. He's not worth 14.5/year.

Just using them to set a market value?

Okay, Mr. Graves. I trust you.

Don't buy it.

49ers fans don't want him but we don't want him staying with you guys either. Get him out of the NFC West for good.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Losing Kurt to SF would be a giant step backwards and a PR nightmare.

 

[DieHardFromMO]

I think all this Rams and 49ers talk is all bs. His agent is putting out NFC West rival teams to get the Cardinals to cave in. I would call the bluff and prepare to proceed with the Leinart era.

Yeah, but look what else the people in there think:

Shaun Hill > Kurt Warner.

Yeah, but look what else the people in there think:

There are some here that think our 3rd stringer is ready to step up too.

 

[Dayman]

Can you imagine the Singletary/Warner sideline blowouts?

No kidding, I've been getting flak for chastising them over it.

If Warner goes to SF, he wont make it out of the first meeting against the Cards.

Imagine if AW hit him on a blitz !! :maninground:

 

[AsUdUdE]

if Kurt really wants to leave for SF and play with Issac Bruce, and Ashley Lielee for 4 million dollars (more) then SE-YA KURT...

enjoy winning ending your career with lows across the board...

I mean honestly who REALLY believes Kurt is serious about leaving for San Fran... I dont

Okay, Mr. Graves. I trust you.

u have more confidence than me

LMFAO. Kurt to the 49ers. That would be hilarious. Thinking that the success of the franchise is dependent on Warner is baffling to me. I would love for the 49ers to sign him to a 2 year 29 million dollar deal.

 

[AntSports Steve]

SFO doesn't really want Kurt.

What they want is to force Arizona to pay to much for Kurt. They want the Cards to overspend and eat up more of their cap.

I have no problem switching to ML if Kurt wants too much. A top 6 salary is right around $10.2M per year. If he doesn't want to sign with that, use that $10 M to improve the team in other areas and begin the ML era.

I want several years of playoff football. I do not want to blow it all on another shot and then back to the basement. Follow the Steelers and NEP plan.


Also, that Matt Castle F-Tag value is bogus and should not be part of the negotiations.

Kurt wants to stay in AZ because his family is here and that is more important than a few million more. The Cards and Warner have to meet in the middle somehow. I believe it will happen soon.

If Warner signs somewhere else it's on him not the front office. They've offered him more than enough to get the deal done. All of this crap he's pulling now is taking a lot of the shine off of him in many fan's eyes.

 

[lauraw]

not to front office bash, but i haven't ever fully trusted graves

 

[Unsterblich856]

Him talking to the San Francisco 49ers is a little something people in the business call leverage.

 

[Buckybird]

To think that if Warner signs w/the Niners that they wouldn't be a threat to the Cards is plain crazy. They would be as good or better.

 

[Azlen]

I am anxious to see what happens if Warner comes back to the Cards with an offer from another team in hand. Do the Cards call his bluff and say "see ya" and if so what does Warner do..does he then cave or uproot the brood for a few million more dollars.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Imagine how crazy the fans would have been to hear Kurt come out and say "Wow - $10 million per year is great. The Cards gave me a chance when no other team wanted me and I'd love to finish my career leading the Cards to two more SB's !!"

Now whatever he gets or whenever he signs - - most fans already see him differently because of the negotiations.

What if no other team offers him near what we have? Do we lower our offer or honor the last one on the table?
