Warner to Cards..
Cards agree to terms with Warner
The Arizona Cardinals today announced that the team has agreed to terms with free agent quarterback Kurt Warner on a one-year contract. In accordance with club policy, terms were not disclosed.
Warner is expected to arrive in Arizona on Tuesday to officially sign the contract and will also be introduced in a press conference that day.
The 33-year old Warner (6-2, 200) has authored one of the greatest success stories in NFL history. After first playing in the Arena Football League and NFL Europe, he went onto star for the St. Louis Rams and was twice selected as the league’s Most Valuable Player (1999 and 2001). A three-time Pro Bowl selection, he was also named the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIV by leading the Rams to a win over the Tennessee Titans.
After spending the 1998-2003 seasons with St. Louis, he played last year with the New York Giants. In 10 games (nine starts) with the Giants, he completed 174 of 277 pass attempts (62.8 percent) for 2,054 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions. The former Northern Iowa product has appeared in 63 games (59 starts) over his seven seasons in the NFL and has passed for 16,501 yards and 108 touchdowns. His completion percentage of 65.9 (1,295-1,965) is the highest ever in the NFL and his quarterback rating of 95.7 is second in NFL history among quarterbacks who have thrown at least 1,500 passes (Steve Young, 96.8).
“From the beginning of this process, I was looking for the best situation for myself and my family and the Cardinals clearly represent that,†said Warner. “We are very impressed with the direction the organization is headed in and couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it. Even though this is a one-year deal, I really don’t want to go anywhere else and would like nothing more than to end my career by helping the Cardinals win a championship.â€Â
Said Cardinals head coach Dennis Green, “Bringing Kurt Warner on board this fast-moving train is very, very exciting. He’s proven he’s one of the best competitors in the National Football League, regardless of position, and is one of the bravest quarterbacks ever to play the position. We coached against him in the past and have a clear understanding of how much he wants to win and his appreciation that you should expect success only if you’ve worked hard enough to get it. Kurt is one important element in building this football team that will helpus win a championship.â€Â
guess he wont be our back up..!
