Each day seems to bring more speculation about what the Cardinals will be willing to give up in exchange for the Eagles Kevin Kolb. ESPN's Sal Paolantonio recently said the Eagles want to get a player who contribute immediately, not a draft pick, in exchange for Kolb. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has been inconsistent in Arizona, and there's no question coaches' patience will run out if DRC doesn't mature and put in the necessary study time but great cover corners -- and Rodgers-Cromartie has the potential to be great -- are hard to find. If the Eagles are asking for Rodgers-Cromartie in exchange for Kolb, that's a high price to pay but a good quarterback makes a bigger difference in a game than a good cornerback. It all comes down to how coach Ken Whisenhunt and GM Rod Graves evaluate Kolb. Source: Arizona Republic
Never going to happen. Sure, we may want Kolb, but DRC has been widely considered one of the future shutdown corners in the league over his first 3 seasons. Sure, he had a down 2010 in comparison to his first 2 years, but you don't give up on someone who's got that much potential and has shown more than not that he's a great corner already. Even if QB is the most important position in the league, Kolb's resume in no way warrants being worth a pro bowl corner. Maybe if they're prepared to throw a draft pick at us as well, but you know they won't. They'll take 2 second round picks or we'll take Orton or Palmer.
