More waffling from warner

BasX · Mar 10, 2009

OK, now we’re getting freaking confused.

Last week, free-agent quarterback Kurt Warner, via his agent, made a proposal to the Cardinals on a two-year, $23 million deal that supposedly earmarked $1 million each year for receiver Anquan Boldin.

But then, after Warner’s new deal with the Cardinals was done, Warner told Dan Patrick that the question of giving up money for Boldin “didn’t come up.”

Now, Warner reportedly has “reiterated a pledge” to devote $2 million of his $23 million to Boldin.

“I’m only around for two more years, and I want to win. And I’m happy to do everything I possibly can to help us accomplish that,” Warner told Jim Corbett of USA Today.

Fine, but then why didn’t it come up last week?

Why wasn’t Warner’s contract written to include a clause reducing his salary by $1 million this year and $1 million next year if Boldin signs a new deal?

Or, alternatively, Warner could have agreed to a two-year, $21 million deal with a clause calling for a $1 million raise this year and a $1 million raise next year if Boldin didn’t sign a new contract by the start of the regular season.

It’s no small issue; it’s the difference between talk and action. To date, Warner’s approach to giving up money to help keep Boldin happy has been all talk, no action.
