If the Redskins release Jason Taylor, maybe go after him.
So for the money they are giving him this year and next the Cardinals could have just wrapped it into guaranteed money and had him here long term
Quite the opposite. That means the Cardinals have until the middle of July (1 p.m. July 16 is the deadline I think) to sign him to a new deal.Does this no longer mean the Cardinals can sign him to a long-term contract?
Honestly I'm not sure about these contracts, but doesn't this show that ownership is behind him and has confidence in him the next few years? A contract that length would as well tho.I still worry that Graves is not the one for our GM job. Dansby was asking a little more then the Pace deal so why did we have to tag him. Just give the guy the money and make him a cornerstone of our LB unit for the next 5 years.

Agreed, but no real reason to rush things. The offseason has just started and the combines to look forward to in just a few days.I just wish more would get done and quickly. Graves has had two weeks and I realize he is a slow mover, but we need to re-sign Warner, Berry, and at least make a offer to A Smith.
I must be the only one seeing this as a VERY negative thing. At the least either Warner or Dansby should have been done before free agency begins. It is begining to smell like desperation. This move stinks of a front office that may let one too many chances slip past them and set the team back 3-4 years. Pay both men their money, sooner as opposed to later please.

So if everyone else jumps off the bridge we should too? C'mon boss just cause other teams manage things badly doesn't give us an excuse to.Agreed. It would be optimal to have gotten this deal done already. But the Cardinals are far from the first team to do this. The Cardinals have bought themselves some negotiation time. I would be very surprise to not see Dansby get signed to something long term.
Once again why rush the situation?
Karlos Dansby and Kurt Warner are the two most important players to retain, and there negotiation will take a long time to get done.
This gives us more time to deal with Dansby, and as for Kurt, we don't even know if he wants to play again next year.
agreedHOPEFULLY, this frees up Graves to get some other deals done. It is the "other" free agents that the Cardinals have that scare me.
You and me both bud.Even though I am labeled as a Graves lover, I still question his ability to get deals done with some competitive speed, in relations getting deals done.
They have 11 days to get Warner re-signed.
Hopefully they are only using this franchise tag on Dansby to extend the time period of getting Dansby done long term. And by extend I mean a 1 week extension from the 19th(deadline for tagging guys) to the 27th (free agency starts), which means get a deal done before free agency starts.
