Report: Cardinals Still Working On Deal With Safety Matt Ware; Team Making Other Moves
Contrary to reports by NFL.com's Jason La Canfora that safety Matt Ware came to terms with the Cardinals on a multiyear deal, the deal in fact, is still a work in progress. After meeting with the Seattle Seahawks on Monday, Ware did make a decision to return and negotiate a new contract with the Cardinals but his agent confirmed a deal has yet to been completed.
Ware has started three games for the Cardinals since he's been with the team, totaling 74 tackles and one interception in 53 games. After Ware was lost to the injured reserve with a sprained knee last season, the Cardinals pass defense took a noticeable dip.
The Cardinals made other moves after the jump...
The Cardinals also came to terms with defensive end Jeremy Clark on Wednesday. Clark is a former undrafted free agent out of Alabama who has started in four career games, recording four tackles.
Tight end Stephen Spach agreed to return to the Cardinals next season, signing a new contract. That means the same four tight end rotation that was used last season will be in effect in 2010. Spach has 13 career receptions and will likely be used on blocking and special teams situations.
Free agent offensive linemen Rex Hadnot and Wade Smith, defensive end Nick Eason, and quarterback Charlie Whitehurst have already visited with the Cardinals this week, although no contracts were reportedly offered.
Linebackers Joey Porter and Larry Foote are finishing their visit with the team on Thursday, while recently departed quarterback Derek Anderson is reportedly set to visit on Friday.
The approaching days could certainly shape up nicely for the Cardinals if they can fill several holes throughout the roster. We'll post anything new as the news breaks.

Good news
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.
I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
Graves
is doing a good job. Ware provides depth and potential in case of injuries. He was a major part of the top special teams in the league as well.

Excellent!
I am very excited to know he will be back. he is not a big name nor is he a star but he allows our stars to do what they do best which is make plays. He is essentially your best friend & wing man that is always willing to “take one for the team”
Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.
always been a Ware fan...
for his role he’s the best bang for his buck in the league. Plus he makes A-dub and now Rhodes look great in certain packages!
Great signing
Was a little worried he may not comeback. Solid backup/spot starter.
We're back
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.
Anyone who says
the Cardinals FO doesn’t know what they are doing is on crack. Foote or Porter or both is next.
Not so fast
Reports are that Ware & the team have not yet come to terms. Hopefully they do soon!

I say that we sign Porter and Foote for a reasonable then try to pick up Derek Anderson.
