Cardinals officials had trade discussions with the Eagles for Kevin Kolb and with the Broncos for Kyle Orton. They also expressed interest in signing former Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and Ravens quarterback Marc Bulger. Kolb is the Cardinals' top choice, and their efforts to get him were bolstered when the Seahawks agreed to terms Tuesday with former Vikings quarterback Tavaris Jackson. The Cardinals are still discussing compensation with the Eagles, who reportedly are seeking a starter and at least a high draft pick. The Cardinals are willing to part with starting cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, but the two sides apparently can't agree on other parts of the deal and the Cardinals would have to sign Kolb to a new deal.

This. Just take a freaking possible shut down corner and be happy. I don't understand how this team is one of the best in the NFL year in and year out with the freaking morons that seem to run the front office. HOLY CRAP TAKE IT NOW!!
'Supposedly' the Cards were ready to offer DRC and a 2nd rounder. But the Eagles are getting greedy and want a 1st as well. I think it would be freaking stupid if this is true, but at the end of the day we will need a solid #2 QB no matter what this season. If this trade goes up in smoke, we have a good backup plan heading into the season, which means a lot considering Kafka would be #2 unless they made some other big signing.
They are really asking for DRC and a 1st, this is freaking dumb. If that happens I'm done watching football. Quit ruining the freaking league dumbass Arizona.
Trading for Kolb is a bad deal all around. You have to give up too much as far as draft picks and Kolb is going to be wanting one of those starting QB contracts. If you trade for Kolb you better be sure he's a franchise QB. At this point I think the Eagles priced themselves out. Too damn greedy and it bit them in the butt.
Eagles are in a win win situation. Nobody is losing sleep if we keep Kolb as a backup....especially if the need at corner is melt elsewhere. I love that they know they can rape Az and are trying hard to do so
A bit of advice to the Cardinals...keep DRC, send a third round pick and a seventh round pick to the Broncos for Orton. Done deal...quit buying into the Kolb hype...
