I'd be surprised if we heard anything today.
We have. (Unconfirmed) quoting Steinberg that Kordell's ironing out a contract with the Bears in Chi.
I don't know about the rest of you - but bringing in a lot of players may look like something's happinin', but not signing a single one of them does not impress me in the least.

Jeff: What QB if any do you think we should sign? I do not think there has been a QB mentioned that someone did not say "we do not want him". I can go with Stewart or Blake. I think we would be foolish to wait until June in hopes of getting Griese. I think we would be in horrible condition to just throw in the towell and go with McCown.

John - Re-read AZCB34's previous post and repeat it 10 times.
You're asking the wrong question because it presumes we can sign anyone we want.
A better question should be: Who can we sign? Right now the answer appears to be:
No one.
We are in an incredibly exposed position. I don't see Blake coming here, and waiting for Griese or anyone else means we won't have our Main Guy at Spring minicamps to learn the playbook and help start getting the offense to jell.
This, incidently, was why I endured various "Closet Jake-Lover" comments and stuck to my guns. It wasn't that I thought Plummer was all that good. It was that I didn't want him gone unless we had someone as good or better to replace him.
Jeff: where I or anyone else liked plummer or not I think he was gone when last year started and we had no offer on the table. he said it himself when he said money is no problem I have plenty of it and want to play for a contender. i do not think Plummer ever had the Cards in his plans regardless of what he may have said. the cardinals where between a rock and a hard place. they could not offer him the kind of money he is getting now last year and it was inevitable that he would leave. he was being booed and playing for a team with little to no chance of contending in the forseeable future. we were never going to keep plummer. having said that we needed a change even if McCown starts. jake did not get it done in six years and it was time to start over. we will end up with some QB in FA. he may not be very good but we will get one. in my opinion we should have overpaid stewart and signed him (that is if he would come). we got into the mess with inept managment and owership and I really do not know how you get out of it. good players we draft will continue to leave unless we have some sort of meaningful change in the way we do business.
Right now, I don't see that person.
Tick. Tick. Tick....

I know you asked Jeff, but I did want to comment on 1 thing. If the Cards wiat until June 1 to get their vet QB, the season is lost. I don't care how smart Griese is or how quick he can learn the playbook. It will take the whole season for everyone to get on the same page execution wise.
I don't want Griese personally but if they want him, figure out a way to make it happen...preferably beffore the draft.

Sorry CB that just isnt true. He could be had after june 1st no problemo that still gives him two months to learn the play book and thats really plenty of time.
He also would still have a whole training camp with the WRs to get there timing down that is plenty of time to get it down!
Just because a Kordell Stewart foe examle was here for two 5 day mini camps does not mean that his timeing is going to be any better than a guy brought in after June 1st. Most of your reps and timing come in training camp and pre-season anyways!
