Cardinals will not franchise Karlos Dansby

@Adam_Schefter:

No big surprise, but Cardinals will not franchise LB Karlos Dansby for 3rd straight year. He will be allowed to test free-agent market.

the past 2 years the Cardinals couldn't strike a deal with Dansby, so this year they will part ways with him. too bad hes not a DE. But hes a stud LB.

[Darth Biscuit]

Yes, but will the frAnchise him?

Couldn't resist...

just superslammed you both

I pretty much thought this was a no brainer. If you tag a player three straight years, the 3rd year the player makes an average of the top 5 of any position. Dude would have been making QB money at LB. No way of happening, not even on the Raiders.

having 3 stud LB's would be nice 2002 and 2004 were quite nice.

I see Dansaby as an expensive luxury that Richardson just wont spring for.

Yeah he's not worth it considering the pooty talent at DT and DE. I wish we could get a LB in the draft but we don't really have the ammo. Diggs is playing well but he can't do it forever.

yea... ummm.... i dont see the benefit of having a beefy LB corp in this age of the NFL when the pass is so dominant, i would rather have 3 sick nasty DB's than 3 sick nasty LB, think about it.

shhhhhh now we both know thats not true.

[Delhommey]

The only connection Dansby will have with the Panthers is two years later, when he has a stellar, my God is he human-type year, some moron will start a thread about how dumb our FO is for passing on him.

Having 3 sick nasty players at any position will be an advantage, the game is too balanced to really say what will work out the best.

Our LBs aren't what you would call beefy, both are undersized. Do you think we would have had such a great pass D without them?

I like a strong front 7 before the secondary, DBs can't tackle what a crap front 7 let's through and they can't cover a QB the front 7 never gets too.
