Do you think by the time he missed vs. the work he put into the workout with the Cards, he'll be fine by week 3 or 4 of the regular season?

Nobody will ever remember the holdout by the middle of the season. It's just part of the business unfortunately.Buckybird said:I hope the fans do not boo this kid the 1st time he sees the field at our new

Seriously. I guess being well-liked isn't high on K9's "how to be lonely" checklist.Assface said:

ESPN just had a 2nd breaking news story, Leinart passed John Navarre on the depth chart from his bathtub at home.

I can't imagine he'd be booed, especially if the team plays well the next two weeks. We're all gonna be thrilled for the regular season to begin!

I think Denny put some added urgency into Leinart's side. It probably only made a day or two of difference at most though.

Cards, Leinart agree on deal

Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart has agreed to a six-year contract that could earn him a maximum of $51 million, according to his agent, Tom Condon.
The deal has not yet been signed, but another of Leinart's agents, Chuck Price, said the goal was to have Leinart in camp at Flagstaff by tomorrow afternoon.
The contract contains $14 million in guaranteed money.
Leinart missed the first two weeks of training camp as his agents and the Cardinals reached a contract impasse. As of Sunday, the two sides reportedly were not making progress in negotiations.
The key as a change in the structure of the deal, said Condon, who declined to be more specific.
It likely involves "escalator" clauses that could increase Leinart's salary in the later years of the deal should he meet certain play time incentives.
It's believed those play-time incentives are not as great as those of Denver quarterback Jay Cutler, who was the 11th overall pick. And the salary escalation is greater.

New Beginning Boys! I seriously feel how Bucs fans must have felt before 98, Rams fans before 99 and Bengals fans before last year. We are on our way.......finally (and hopefully - someone knock on wood!)
I can't believe (but am relieved) they gave him 14 million guaranteed. Kudos to the Bidwells, Denny Green, and Leinart's camp.
How excited am i to see the game against New England now.....!

Yeah, the Cards probably changed the escalator from 75% of snaps during his first three seasons to 74% of snaps.

No doubt Aeneas Williams held out longer than this on his rookie deal and he was one of the most loved players ever in Arizona.

I put this in another thread but.
Conceivably Condon and Graves both might not have even heard Greens comments before a deal was struck. The deal was struck most likely hours ago becuase this stuff has to go through both sides legal departments before they agreed on it, Deals arent struck then bam they are on the news it takes time before it is released. I would believe that the deal was probably struck at about Noon or so and Greens interview was at about that time as well and then it takes time before Greens interview is released, and Graves and Condon were most likely in a meeting the whole time during the interview making finishing details. That would be some pretty funny timing.
