Agent: Cardinals should pay Warner like one of the league's top QBs

"Agent Mark Bartelstein said Warner deserves a salary among the top "four or five" quarterbacks in the NFL, no matter where he plays. According to Bartelstein, those five earn an average of about $14.5 million per year."

Last payday!

Last payday!

For Warner and his agent.

His agent is smoking crack. He had a magical season last year. However, at his age....no way a team gives that kind of money.

Umm... we're giving Delhomme 11M a year. fug for that much money I'd cut Delhomme and sign Warner in a heartbeat.

Problem with Warner is age. A team would only sign him as a stop gap if they thought they were a QB away from being a SB contender.

Delhomme is not being paid $11M this year...that is his cap hit. He is in the last year of contract, which is alway back-end loaded.

Warner wants $12-13 M (top 5 money) average per year. Never get it as an aging QB.

That's his cap value. That's not what he's making. I don't know what he's going to make this season but it's much less.

No way Warner has a year like last season again. They act like the guy isn't loaded with talent around him as well. Colin Cowherd practically broke up with Tom Brady and gummed Warners balls on the radio this morning. Said he's worth it so they need to pay him top QB money. fug that, it was one fuging magical season, who honestly thinks the Cards will make it back to the SB next season if Warner gets his payday?

When your reciever(s) can preety much out jump any defender, to where you just throw jump balls for big gains, you can make most any QB look good.

But what are their chances of making the playoffs without him? If we see the same ol' Leinart next year, those chances are not very good.

I think his highest value is to the Cards. Can't imagine a guy @ that age going to another team and having enough time left in his career to adjust to a new system & play the way he played last year.

I think about 5. Warner can be the man for another year - for the Cardinals, but not for another team. Like FireBall said, learning a new system, etc. is not in the cards. Both sides have a power position here. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out...
