New Chiefs coach Todd Haley sees a lot of Kurt Warner in quarterback Matt Cassel. "I just came off two years of working with one of the best guys I've ever been around in Kurt Warner," said Haley, who was Arizona's offensive coordinator the last two seasons. "In 'best guys,' I mean guys that are into football, like to talk about football. It's not about much else for Kurt Warner. This Matt Cassel feels and acts a lot the same way. He is football 24/7 to the point where I've had to pull back the reins on him a couple of times and say, 'Listen, Matt. These next couple of months are about getting in shape and getting your body ready for the season. There's time enough for football.' "He's all about football. I've been telling everyone I hope he can play because he's got all of the intangible things you get excited about as a coach."

The Cardinals have maintained their stance that they don't want to trade Anquan Boldin, but with the draft coming rumors are beginning to intensify. "We still recognize him (Boldin) as a core player and one that we would like to extend," general manager Rod Graves said, "but I think we have to remain open at all times to possibilities. To this point, we have not made any considerations for a trade, and we're focused primarily on trying to make this relationship beneficial for our team." The Eagles and Giants are expected to be suitors for Boldin if the Cardinals place him on the market.

"I began rehab on a stationary bike just a few hours after surgery and then a couple of more times today."
