Bruce Arians on CB: Want to re-sign Marcus Cooper but price might rise too high. On potential defensive losses: Hopefully we're prepared.

Keim on QBs: you can't force (the pick). If you miss and miss high it will cost you

Steve Keim, when talking about approach to free agents at #CardsCombine, keeps talking about pie and now I'm hungry.

GM Steve Keim said Carson Palmer would mentor a young QB. "No doubt" Palmer would help. Wants to help team going forward.
