Extension for Karlos Dansby Unlikely

Quote:

Cardinals.com - Cardinals general manager Rod Graves said that the club is unlikely to agree to a contract extension with linebacker Karlos Dansby before next week's deadline. Arizona placed their franchise tag on Dansby, which means the two sides must come to terms on a long-term extension by July 15, or the linebacker will be forced to play under the one-year franchise tender in 2009. "We still hope to reach an agreement on a long-term deal with Karlos," Graves said. "But there is a considerable gap in our positions.

Huge loss for the Cardinals if he doesnt resign, even though he has been saying he wants to make a BIG splash in 2010 Free Agency with the possibilities of no Cap

Yeah, the longer this drags on, the less likely I think he won't be back for the Cardinals.

I really dont get why the Cardinals wont give him a long term extension. This is a no brainer, as of the last few years Dansby has had some very productive seasons. Moves like these are the reason why the Cardinals will not win a Super Bowl for quite some time.

SMH.

They've given Dansby several offers, but the issue is that he's hellbent on going to FA. There was at least several offers exchanged and at point the two sides were close to signing, but Dansby fired his agent at the last second.

Could be that he's waiting out to see if next year becomes an uncapped season. If so, he could still remain with the team and make major bank, or he could go to another team and make even more money.
