D1B's favorite fellow alum remains in Phoenix
It took longer than expected and turned in to a bit of a soap opera, but Kurt Warner will officially be back with the Cardinals in 2009 after he agreed to a new two-year contract Wednesday.
The deal is worth $23 million, with a $15 million signing bonus and salaries of $4 million each year. Warner and coach Ken Whisenhunt are scheduled to meet the media at 2 p.m. Arizona time.
Warner became a free agent late last week, surprisingly hitting the market. He even took a visit to San Francisco and spoke with the Cards’ division rival 49ers about signing there. He did multiple national interviews pleading his case and the back-and-forth created chaotic reaction among the fan bases of both the Cardinals and 49ers.
