Could Cardinals Trade Leinart?

Nov 23, 2014 7:15 AM

If the Cardinals sign quarterback Kurt Warner for an additional two years, they might look to trade Matt Leinart. However, given Warner's age trading Leinart would be a hard decision for the team to make. The former USC starter would prefer to remain in Arizona but wants to start. "I plan on being the quarterback here for a long time," he said. "That's why I came here in the first place. I love it here, so nothing has really crossed my mind."

According to two NFL sources familiar with the negotiations, the Packers had drawn up the trade paperwork and sent it to the Chiefs to finalize the deal, a third-round pick for Tony Gonzalez, only to have the Chiefs call them 10 minutes before the deadline to say it would take a second-round pick to get the deal done. The Chiefs ended up keeping Gonzalez, who is now angry a deal didn't get done. The Packers "sent the papers and everything, thinking it was going to happen," the source said. According to the source, the Packers, New York Giants, and Philadelphia Eagles all made offers ? the Giants offering a fourth-round pick; the Eagles and Packers offering third-rounders. The source said the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills made better offers, but Gonzalez wasn't interested in playing for either team.
