Arizona to try to keep Dansby

 Arizona has a lot of big contracts to potentially write up this year and that makes it dubious that they can keep Dansby too. However it could be:

Dansby’s agents putting material like this out in hopes of driving up their clients value. Percently understandable in today’s NFL..

and/or

The Arizona FO not wanting to look as if they are willing to let their top players walk away. In the past the cardinals have always been a very cheap team and unwilling to pay to keep their best talent. That’s changed somewhat with their new regime, but the reputation is still there.

The Cards are known for letting talent go once it gets too expensive (if they did a better job of trading away talent people would compare them to the Marlins) and they haven’t said anything about keeping Dansby until now.

Arizona has too many guys due for big paydays to keep them all and Dansby will be the most expensive. If they let him go it free up money to keep Antrel Rolle and sign up everybody else, but they’d be better off locking up Dansby and letting go of Rolle. Still, nobody said they were that smart. This reeks of marketing to drive up the price and nothing more.

It’s nice to see them trying to make something like this happen! If this doesn’t go through, I hope they make the push to get Brandon Marshall! He’s 25 and would solidify our #1 receiver spot for 6 to 10 years!
