It's tough times for the Arizona Cardinals as the team was unable to resign linebacker Karlos Dansby and safety Antrel Rolle. Dansby signed a contract to play for the Miami Dolphins after the dolphins released two other linebackers. Rolle agreed to a contract with the New York Giants. Both these players were two explosive defensive players for the Cardinals - a team who can not afford to get any weaker on D. This is coming after wide receiver Anquan Boldin was traded to Baltimore for 3rd and 4th round draft picks in the 2010 draft. I was not too upset with the Boldin trade because post-trade Cardinals will still have a very strong receiving core with Fitzgerald, Breaston and Doucet. Additionally, Boldin, over the past two years, has expressed seemingly unwarranted frustrations with offensive decisions by the Cardinals particularly when the Cardinals have been playing well...Terrell Owens anyone? Boldin even indicated he would not like to play for the Cardinals the day the Cardinals made it to the Superbowl. Nonetheless, with the loss of Boldin you would hope to free up salary space to resign Rolle and Dansby, unfortunately the Cardinals were unable to do either. With a larger amount of draft picks and a bit extra cash, hopefully the Cardinals can get some quality players to have a strong team for the coming season.
