The salary dump

[football karma]

Salaries from 2009 the Cards wont have in 2010 (in millions and approximate):

Warner $10
Boldin $3
Dansby $10
Rolle $4
McFadden $5
Gandy $5

total $37mm

obviously, some of that got spent back on Porter, Anderson, Hadnot and Feeley --- but those salaries for 2010 are around $15mm

the Cardinals will clearly have the cash flow to extend Dockett and maybe give Breaston a long term deal

No new CBA, no new contracts...this year!!! I think we are sitting ourselves up for a Breaston disaster, If he has a big year, he's cashing in & possibly with a new team.

What about Chike Okeafor, I think you can add about $6? Maybe Nnamdi Asomugha is in play now!!!!!!

Cash flow yes, will they spend it I have my doubts. This goes for every team in the NFL by the way. With the uncertainty of the CBA I don't think we will spend that cash flow, cash flow not just the Cards have created this offseason I might add.

I agree Joe

the offseason has followed what I expected--

the Cardinals are as financially conservative run a franchise as you will find (btw: this doesn't equate to being cheap)

They just aren't going to sign up for big dollar contracts with the potential for no games being played in 2011 and/or a different CBA coming out of it.

I thnk they've done an awesome job at managing money without being what I'd call cheap.

I have not noticed the tell tale signs of not wanting to pay a guy I feel is really worth it in a while.

A lot would argue Dansby was, I wouldn't.
