PrintNow that we're officially in offseason mode, we can look ahead to the NFL calender. There's roughly three weeks left of the 2009 season, and some Cardinals are set to make one last appearance in the Pro Bowl. Perhaps the biggest offseason date will be March 5th, when free agency begins. The Cardinals have their fair share of contracts to address and it'd be preferable if they could take care of them before then. Stick around because we have a lot to discuss between now and then as the Cardinals try to keep their team together for the 2010 season.
Jan. 24 -- Conference Championships. Who do we root for here?
Jan. 30 -- Senior Bowl on NFL Network. Key game to watch before NFL combine. DRC won over the Cardinals here.
Jan. 31-- AFC-NFC Pro Bowl, South Florida (ESPN). Four Cardinals in the Pro Bowl.
Feb. 7-- Super Bowl XLIV, South Florida (CBS). Looks like it will turn out to be a good match up no matter who makes it.
Feb. 24-March 2 -- NFL Scouting Combine, Indianapolis, Ind. Very important to watch. The Cardinals' future 1st round pick could make his mark here.
March 5 -- Free agency begins. We'll discuss this later. Too many Cardinals to resign/extend.
March 21-24-- NFL Annual Meeting, Orlando, Florida. Big meeting between NFL owners. Offseason issues and rules are discussed here.
April 22-24-- NFL Draft, New York City. The biggest day of the offseason. The NFL will make it a primetime event this year.
May 24-26 -- NFL Spring Meeting, Dallas, Texas. Another important meeting.

CBA
When is it decided if we have a cap next year?
We are red, we are white, we are Danish Dynamite!
Not sure
I’d imagine it’d have to be sometime in February.
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

I'd have to say the Saints is who we root for.
That way we can say we lost to the best team in the NFC.
I'm just rooting for good games
I could really care less about who wins from here on out. If the Cowboys were still in it I’d root against them but now I just want to see competitive games.
Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Yep, with the Cobs and Chargers out
Disasterbowl 2009 has been averted. Least interesting outcome I could imagine watching…
Vikings all the way.
I say we root for the Vikings considering we have an old QB too who can make it far, like a Super Bowl win. And we can say we gave the Super Bowl Champs a beatdown during the regular season: 30-17.
Yeah but if the Vikes go
I think it hurts Warner ‘cos that’s another QB on the shortlist of those who made it to the SB with two teams… Brees didn’t make it with the Chargers did he?
I'd add Senior Bowl week
The game is Saturday Jan 30th and the NFL Network televises practices that entire week. In the draft process this week is probably just as important as the Combine, at least for Seniors.

Saints
New Orleans the city, Saints the team and Drew Brees IMO all deserve a title. The Cardinals deserved that title last year and fell just short. Peyton already has a ring.
Although purely from a football perspective, I must admit it would be pretty wild if the Vikings win it all with Favre. Minnesota doesn’t have a title either. Favre would retire FOR GOOD RIGHT? or not.

I hope that doesn't happen.
I know a lot of people still like Favre but I can’t stand the guy anymore. I hope the Saints crush him and the Vikings, sorry Vikings fans I probably would be rooting for you if not for Favre being on your team.
graham harrel
How bout taking a visit to Saskatchewan, Canada and signing up Graham Harrell LOL
That's a comment I would expect from Hawk.
But I admit it sounds a little intersting. Why wasn’t he drafted?
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.
I'm rooting for the Saints.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.
I can't stand band-wagoner fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
Right now to win it all I'll root for the underdog, the Jets
But on the NFC side I guess I’ll take the Saints. Hard to root for a team that just pounded you out of the playoffs.
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

Yea, it's tough rooting for them but...
I have a hard time rooting for the alternative, Brett Favre.
I am rooting for a Saints vs Jets Super Bowl, at that point I really don’t care who wins it.
Probably lean more towards Saints.
Since they are kind of like us in the fact that they have not had much success in the NFL.
Saints have never been to a Super Bowl.
Plus the Jets have played more than twice the amount of playoff games the Saints have.
Still not a big history of success either.
Only point I was trying to make. Besides, who wants to see Favre vs Manning? Not me.
+1
Rookie QB takes Jets to SuperBowl that Favre couldn’t get them to, and doesn’t get Vikes there either. Jets are actually a really good team. They just don’t have consistancy at QB because Sanchez is only a rookie.
How about Jets vs Vikings
Jets can get payback on Brett.
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.
Revenge of the Birds
wouldn't a Jets/Vikings SB also be a matchup of the league's oldest QB vs. the league's youngest?
At least oldest starter and youngest starter. Sanchez should be younger than Stafford b/c he came out as a junior right?
Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Yup
Pretty intriguing match-up
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.
Revenge of the Birds
I don't like Brett Favre.
If for no other reason I would prefer the Saints. Jets get their payback by showing up to the Super Bowl with a rookie anyway. It’s even sweeter if Favre falls a game short.
April 22nd at UofP stadium they have the draft party last year was a lot of fun i will be attending again if any one wants to join there was alot of players there last year and we took a tour of the stadium
The Devil Birds just got cha
Was it free?
