Kolb: Being In Arizona 'Feels Right'
Kevin Kolb, introduced as a member of the Cardinals on Friday, said that landing in Arizona "feels right."
"You just know when something feels right and this one feels right," he said, "all the way from flying in, driving through town, getting here to the facility, talking with everybody, meeting the players, it feels really good."
The Cardinals sent cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2012 second-round draft pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for Kolb in a deal reached on Wednesday.
Kolb also has agreed to a five-year contract worth just under $64 million, with $21 million guaranteed.
He traced his interest in playing for Arizona to the NFC championship game in the 2008 season, when he watched from the Eagles sidelines as the Cardinals won 32-25.
"I just kind of always marked this one down as one of my favorites," Kolb said, "kept it in the back of my mind."

New Contract May Be Delaying Kolb Trade
