How about when I get older and they boot me in favor of a younger guy who'll work for less money but has little or no knowledge of the business. Where would the loyalty lay there?

The Cards had there chance last spring and they BLEW it! Tough shit! They should have signed him then, instead of playing hard-ball with him!

We will see how you feel about this contract in about 4 years. As a Cardinals fan, I am sad he is gone but that is silly money for a guy who is going to be 32 when he steps on the field for the first time next season.

I would have loved to have had him retire as a Cardinal, but part of me is relieved that the Cards don't have that contract to deal with
