PrintSince posts may take a little time to get up, come here for quick reactions and discussions as things happen
I'm not sure if someone had already planned on doing this, but I thought I would get the ball rolling. I figured it would be nice to have one thread where people can post any news they hear about trades, player signings, rumors, or any other interesting tidbits so we don't have to root through 100's of posts. Jess, maybe you can throw it up on the main page? This is one of the first times I'll say this, but I'm very lucky to work a weekend shift and have Tuesday and Wednesday off, so I'll be doing my best to keep this updated. Happy End of the Lockout Day to you all and let the fun begin :)

I think that is a good idea
Just use this as one big open thread for the week

Not til Friday
but they can talk trades and agree in principle
Like the Cardinals? Revenge of the Birds is where to go.
Like Arizona Sports in general? SB Nation Arizona is where you'll get it all.

I keep reading and hearing Tuesday or Friday and I don't mean just talk about but execute them. That's the only thing I haven't seen covered specifically.

From what I've heard
They can start negotiations on Tuesday
But they can’t actually file the paperwork to the NFL that makes the trade official until Friday.

Scratch that
Looks like Kolb will be here tomorrow.
http://mobile.twitter.com/jeff_mclane/status/95595122984615936
FYI, player trades can be finished tomorrow. Therefore, the Kolb move will be probably be done at 10:01 am.

Well at least we'll know if the rumors are true. Let the trades begin!

is that 10:01 PST or EST?
I’d love to wake up tomorrow morning at 7:01 am and have a new QB on the roster:) Just hoping its Carson Palmer and not Kolb;p
I will add a thread for the morning
and then keep it featured on the side.

I bear no ill will towards the Cardinals.
That being said, I am thrilled that the Eagles found someone willing to take Kolb. Better you than us, guys. I hope you like pick-6’s.

Todd Heap will be released by the Ravens.
We should look to pick him up. He blocks well, receives well and is a leader on and off the field. Plus he’s an Arizona boy. He should be pretty cheap and will help Rob Housler adjust to the game.
I see you driving

I say Orton
But you’ll find plenty of Kolb lovers here. Apparently 7 games is enough evidence that is going to be the next “it.”
As a Philly fan, if Kolb was a franchise QB would you trade him?
by Jesse Reynolds on Jul 25, 2011 5:23 PM MDT up reply actions
I have to be honest here.
Kolb telegraphs every throw (which accounts for the veritable banquet of pick-6’s he serves up), can’t throw a deep out, checks down every chance he gets and stares down receivers like a less refined Brady Quinn. There are a few other Kolb skeptics on BGN, but for the most part they worship him like he’s a god. I hope you guys have a lot of patience and can tolerate bad to occasionally mediocre QB play.

My preference is whichever is cheapest
as far as trades or picks.
But I still say Kolb is a done deal. My theory is Cards FO is releasing the info themselves to prevent a bidding war.

or start one with
the rumors of Seattle being on the Kolb Knob bandwagon.
I am still delirious over the prospect of getting a starter for Kolb.

Orton
I’d be fine with him or Kolb, but I’m more skeptical of Kolb because of his high price.
I’ll support whoever it winds up being though until they give me a reason not to.

I keep hearing Pete Carroll
Is not bring back Matt Hasslebeck, having heard that he is my top choice. May not be the best QB out there and is injury prone, but he knows the division
Depends on if we lose DRC
If he winds up in Philly, we will need another CB so bring him on. Can help teach Horton’s system too.

I think Toler is good enough to be the #2 until PP7 is ready.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Phoenix Suns/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
So, I know this may seem weird
because i’m just an ordinary guy on here that likes to talk about our team. But I heard from a VERY reliable source that DRC is most likely on his way out. First I want to remind everyone that I wouldn’t just say this for sh**s and giggles or attention! I wouldn’t want to be chased off of here and I personally like DRC and want to keep him. But this person is very close to one of our current players and this is what they advised me!!
Sorry folks, park's closed. Moose out front shoulda told ya.
Hopefully the Cards are planning on getting something for him in trade...
and not outright cutting him.

With Devlin and Kolb coming in
Does this mean that we could be getting rid of more than just DA?
DA, Hall, Bartel. Sounds like at least two of them would get cut.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Phoenix Suns/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
I think I saw teams can have 90 players going into training camp
So I imagine they’ll have several there
By the time they have to trim down the rosters I mean
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Phoenix Suns/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].

Either way, I’m pretty excited to add more competition to the pool. Devlin’s supposed to be decent.

I feel like I saw his name a lot

most of the time in the 4th or 5th round.. not sure what happened though..
Faith Focus Finish
SI.com had him projected as undrafted
but I’ve seen some projections in the 5th as well. His injury history no doubt scared some teams off.

Recap for the Card's night from Jurecki
@mikejurecki Mike Jurecki
Reports Cards 2 sign Davieun Curry-Chapman (WR, N. AZ) Pat Devlin (QB, DE) DJ Young (OL, MI State) Kristofer O’Dowd (OL, USC) #unconfirmed
what else can they be showing?
Your average NFL fan doesn’t even know what a UDFA is and ESPN caters to the masses. Plus none of “signings” are official yet so they’d basically be reporting rumors. Hard for a major network to run a live show reporting rumors.
by Steamin' Beamin' on Jul 25, 2011 9:15 PM MDT up reply actions
Even NFLN isn't covering the UDFA confirmations/commitments at all....
just saying who is getting cut cause some of those players have been told by teams already to prepare for actual official cuts/waivers on Thursday.
They report that Mason and Heap from Ravens are getting cut.

2. Palmer
3. Bugler
4. Kolb
5. V. Young
6. Hasselback
7. McNabb
Section 103, Row 19
Kolb is Fool's Gold
Ask yourself this Kolb was the starting QB and lost the job. Kolb is 27 and Vick is 31 or 32 if Kolb was so good why not keep him and trade Vick. Buyer beware.
by letsthegamesbegan on Jul 26, 2011 7:32 AM MDT reply actions
Kolb lost the job because he got a concussion in the 1st game of the season
and Vick started tearing it up. The reason the Eagles are willing to trade Kolb is because Vick makes them more money as their starting QB. So then, you ask, why not just hold onto Kolb in case something happens to Vick? Well, Kolb doesn’t feel he should be a backup QB, and this is the last year of his current contract, so if the Eagles were to keep him and he didn’t get to play this year, they would most likely lose him to free agency next year and get absolutely nothing for him.
Needless to say, just because they’re getting rid of him doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t think he’s going to be any good..

Personally...
I think Cards should offer DRC straight up take it or leave it… if there is pick involved it better damn well be protected based off of performance.. like Klob throws 10+ more touchdowns than ints then they get the pick. And this better damn well be a 5th round pick and if they do get it then az gets phillys sixth or seventh or something like that

Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Phoenix Suns/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
its simple DRC... for Klob
you have 2 hours to do this or we go get orton for a pick how simple is that. thats what i would do if i was Rod Graves. And then when we get orton for a 3rd round pick still offer klob for a 2nd and see who wins in camp. that way you get the best from all qbs and you can sign the one you like to a contract…

LB news interesting for the Cards?
@wingoz trey wingo
need a LB? now both Nick Barnett and Tully Banta-Cain will be on the market, to be released by Packers and Pats respectively
Palmer is retired?
@BenVolinPBP Benjamin Volin
RT @joereedy: Mike Brown on Carson Palmer: “He has retired. If he is going to walk away from his commitment, we’re not going to reward it.”
What I have a problem with is,
if the Bengals wanted to shut the door on him for whatever reason, they could do it. But he can’t have a say after being loyal to them for so long? I’ll admit it wasn’t the best way to do it, but Palmer doesn’t need the money and will be fine. The only ones punished here are the Bengals because they could have gotten something useful in return instead of just seeming petty.
Loyalty?
Players aren’t loyal or disloyal to their teams. He was drafted to play in Cinn. Got paid millions (as he would have if he were drafted anywhere else). And now doesn’t want to stay. If anything, he’s being disloyal.
No more night. I have seen the light. Let it shine on bright.

Doubtful Cardinals give up a #1 and DRC for Kolb. Price is too steep. If it’s a #2, they’ll think about it.
The longer this goes without a decision on Kolb...
the better I feel about the Cards not overpaying for him.
Kolb news starting to move
@kentsomers Kent Somers
Cardinals working several fronts on acquiring QB, not counting just on getting Kolb. that’s part of what little leverage they have.
If they were to do anything else, I would be disappointed.
Even if they want and get Kolb, they need to work every angle until a QB is signed.

So if Seatle really agreed in principle to a Qb that would mean it is a FA which would take them out of the running for Kolb. This means that we now have the upper hand in negotiations. Offer them the two seconds and get Kolb keep DRC quit messing around!
That's a fair deal if the Cards believe Kolb is better than Orton. That works for me.

He is use to having a bad line and bad defense with Denver. Here we have an improving D and lots of weapons on O. He should also be use to facing pressure.
Also his accuracy is pretty good, so as long as he can get the ball close to Fitz we are in business. Should also help open up the run game.

No more night. I have seen the light. Let it shine on bright.
HANG HIM HIGHER!!!

That game was ridiculous --- still pisses me off thinking about it.

I'm surprised no one has signed Clay from Wisconsin.

I heard that the Steelers signed him

They got Harvey and Clay - 2 players I think will be good.

Looks like the Vikings may be out of the Orton market

If so that's more good news for the Cards.

Was just looking at Field Gulls
They seem kinda meh over T-Jax signing. Happy that he won’t cost them a lot, but not overly excited about him

Tim Hasselbeck tells 710ESPN Seattle that Pete Carroll, John Schneider called Matt Hasselbeck to tell him they were moving on at QB.

Hee Hee, I like hearing this
@espn_nfcwest Mike Sando, ESPN.com
Tim Hasselbeck on 710ESPN Seattle: Expects competition between Whitehurst and Tarvaris Jackson and calls it “not an ideal situation” …
understatement of the century...
The cards having DA as their starter last year was “not an ideal situation”,
ha, just topped it.
Luck v. Bradford could be fun for the next few years
Assuming we have the secondary to lock ’em both down…
The only way this is true is if Eagles are still asking DRC and 1st

Tim Hasselbeck says situation in AZ more fluid than people think, with Seattle out of Kolb running. But does not hint that Matt headed there

RTTimRing3TV = I’ve just just learned Cards-Eagles talk has escalated to point of now it’s just a “squabble” of what AZ gives up for Kolb

yeah that's what i hope happens too.

I hope DRC isn't part of that deal. Please don't ship DRC to Philly. 2 2nd rounders at most ... please.

As I reported a while back, SEA was high on Tarvaris Jackson. He will sign there. Matt Leinart likely, too. Seahawks out of Kolb sweepstakes

A look at how the Philly blog is reacting right now
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Phoenix Suns/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
They are completely confused over there.
Half of them think Jackson was traded and that it will increase the value of Kolb…FAIL
And a bunch of them think that Fitz is dead set on getting Kolb or he is going to walk
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Phoenix Suns/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
Just read on the Broncos blog that they think Orton is worth more than DRC or Dockett
and think the Cards would need to throw in a 3rd to sweeten the deal. Huh, I thought we overvalued our players.
Sounds like McNabb to the Vikings is a done deal.

Or almost done at the least

AWESOME
@kentsomers Kent Somers
OLB O’Brien Schofield said he is up to 252 pounds and AZ fans should not worry about a pass rusher this year. “I got it.”
Great to hear and I hope he does have it controlled.

Kolb might get left out?
@Cardschatter Darren Urban
Staying was always option. Don’t think he’d be thrilled tho. RT @NicholasPepe: @Cardschatter Kolb may be odd man out, back in Philly
Bet he is loving this day

Seattle pulling out of Kolb race & Orton/Hasselbeck still being available is crushing the Eagles leverage w/ the Cards. Who else wants him?
