"Deuce Lutui has a new contract in hand, and next he will set about trying to get his starting guard position back with the Cardinals. Lutui on Monday signed a one-year qualifying offer of $1.76 million, one day before a deadline that would have seen the dollar amount drop to $588,000, a 10-percent raise over last season's contract. Lutui, a four-year starter, stayed away from all of the team's off-season activities while he sought a long-term deal. The Cardinals have been reluctant to consider it, however." http://www.azcentral.com/sports/car...inals-deuce-lutui-signs-qualifying-offer.html
