<![CDATA[Cardinals to franchise Dansby]]>the most versatile LB we could've signed will remain a cardinal. they're gonna hit him with the tag for the second straight year and, more likely than not, hold on to the centerpiece of their defense.

though dansby would've likely commanded too much money for us to sign him and get anyone else, he would've driven the price down on other players. his being franchised drives up the price for other FA LBs.

this also means that kurt warner can test the market, but he'll likely find his best situation is to stay in the desert.

adam schefter broke the story.

Great LB...very smart. I too was hopeful he'd hit FA. Oh well.

I think he's only played one year in the NFL injury free. That is not good at all. I could be wrong about only playing one season injury free but I know he's been banged up a lot.

I started wondering if the Cardinals may let him go and instead go after one of the many good LB's in this draft...Laurinaitis would've have been a good fit in Dansby's place. But He probably wouldn't last to pick #31.

I love Dansby!

He's smart and is a well rounded athlete that would fit in well nearly anywhere.
