Cardinals GM Says QB Kevin Kolb Likely To Stay Despite Impending $7M Bonus

Cardinals general manager Rod Graves said Thursday that he expects to move into next season with Kevin Kolb as his quarterback, but he wouldn't completely rule out a shakeup. Kolb is due a $7 million bonus if he's on the Cardinals' roster March 17, which Graves said is likely, given the team's current offseason plan. "There's no reason to think at this particular point that we wouldn't proceed with ... seeing the contract through, but things change as we go down the road," Graves said in an interview on KTAR-AM in Phoenix. Kolb said Monday he had fully recovered from a concussion that sidelined him late last season, and he plans on being in Arizona for "a long time." He signed a five-year, $63 million extension that included $20 million guaranteed after the Cardinals acquired him in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles last summer. Arizona has been mentioned as a possible landing spot for Peyton Manning, should the 11-time Pro Bowl quarterback be released by the Indianapolis Colts before a March 8 deadline to pay him a $28 million option bonus.

I listened to the entire interview which included Coach Whisenhunt. Graves said all the right things a GM should, but Whiz was a little more elucidating. Where the Cards are going into this season a lot better off than last at QB, Whiz let it be know that he will put the players on the field that gives the best chance of winning whether they're currently on the roster or signed later.
In reality, the Cards are a long-shot if Manning is cut loose. The offensive line just can't protect the QB as well as other clubs. And if it does come down to Kolb or Skelton as the starter, the fans want Skelton and the GM/HC want Kolb. The fans remember Kolb's 1-6 start (then injured) and Skelton's 7-2 close to the season. QB mobility is essential and Kolb isn't mobile.
