Well, this could have been useful information two weeks ago

There been A LOT of posts about bringing or not bringing Runyan in in the last couple of weeks. Well, apparently it was a waste of time. Runyan doesn't want to come here at all..

A little deja vu for Runyan after meeting with JetsBy LES [email protected]on Runyan's meeting with the Jets yesterday reminded him of the last free-agent visit he made, 6 years ago.
"It was almost a mirror image of when I came into Philadelphia," Runyan said yesterday. "It was a pretty good setup, a new coach trying to turn things around."
As impressed as Runyan was with new Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum and new coach Eric Mangini, he left Long Island without an offer.
"They were just trying to feel me out, see if what they'd heard about me was true," said Runyan, whom coach Andy Reid credited with giving the Eagles' offensive line a tougher, nastier edge when the right offensive tackle arrived from the Titans in 2000.
Runyan said he has no other visits planned now, and not much has changed in his talks with the Eagles. Runyan's agent, Ben Dogra, has not returned calls from the Daily News.
"We're trying to limit ourselves to the East Coast for family reasons," Runyan said. "That kind of puts the handcuffs on me a bit."
Runyan is in no particular hurry to sign, he said, but he figures most teams will want to have their line situations sorted out going into the April 29-30 NFL draft.
Dallas' release of 10-time Pro Bowl guard Larry Allen Tuesday threw a new wrinkle into the free-agent market for offensive linemen. Allen is 34, but still plays at a reasonably high level. It's unclear whether the Eagles have any interest in signing him. Allen's agent, Marvin Demoff, did not return calls from the Daily News.
Also unknown is the Eagles' interest level in Eric Moulds, the 32-year-old wide receiver who has been given permission by Buffalo to seek a trade. Some observers feel the Bills will have to release Moulds anyway, assuming he continues to resist restructuring his contract, and that no trade is likely. Moulds' agent, Harry Henderson, did not return calls from the Daily News.

Wait, not only do the fans and the Cardinal organization have to want a player to play in AZ, but the player himself has to want to come here? NO WAY!!!

Regarding Runyan. People need to come to grips with the fact that there are some free agents we just can't sign and it's not a failure if we don't.

Nope that was Missouri's Mo Mo the Monster.

I think that is true of many free agents-- and I am not picking on the Cardinals --

I think when guys are free agents, they have a set of four or five teams they want to play for -- and for any number of reasons: location, coaching staff, style of play, and oh yeah, how close to the playoffs, SB, etc are they.

For example, as much as we (as fans) wanted Lecharles Bentley -- he wasnt coming here
