Quick Hits: Arizona Cardinals Style

Pro Football Weekly says the Warner has jumped both Karlos Dansby and
Anquan Boldin in the proverbial contract line. Warner and the front office have been working on an extension which isn't all that surprising. They mention how how Tim Hightower could have an even bigger role since the Arrington arrest and this time compare Hightower to Steven Jackson.
Kent Somers reports that the Cardinals long time trainer, John Omohundro has retired. He has been the Cardinals trainer or 36 seasons and has worked 814 games for the Cardinals. That's a long time to be with any team and he'll be missed by many inside the organization.
Darren Urban has an interesting take on how Tommie Harris' new contract could effect Darnell Dockett's mindset. Harris, defensive tackle for the Bears, got a new contract last week that was basically a four year extension for $40 million. Dockett and Harris are not only friends but they also share the same evil agent, Drew Roshenhaus. Don't think for a second that Rosenhaus hasn't whispered this contract in Dockett's ear.
Yahoo Sports takes a couple of quick looks at the revamped scouting department, the guys who want new contracts and the new turf they enjoy during training camp.

Dockett vs. Harris

I love the intensity that Dockett brings us. He is explosive and a perfect 3-4 end. I originally started this with the intent to prove that Dockett didn’t deserve the same type money as Harris. However after looking back at the numbers, the Cards gave up almost a full yard less per attempt then the Bears. His individual effort led the way to quite a few plays going the Card’s way and that enthusiasm will be needed again especially with DRC possibly on the field. But my question is how many players can we give a raise to before we are tapped out. Warner, Dansby, Q, Fitz (just got a huge one), Wilson and Dockett. Next season’s possible no salary cap will have huge ramifactions on the following capped year. Can we really afford it?

Good point on his production. There’s no doubt that he’s outperforming his current contract but the opposing logic to that argument is that if he was under performing, the team wouldn’t be trying to rip up the contract and pay him less. He’ll get his money, he just needs to look at the big picture and keep producing.
