The Facts: Kolb told the Arizona Republic on Monday that he is fully recovered from his concussion and is not concerned about speculation that the team might be interested in Peyton Manning if he is released by the Indianapolis Colts. "I know how the NFL works," Kolb to the newspaper, "Anything is possible. I just try to keep my mind clear and do what I can on my end. I plan on having a great year and being a Cardinal for a long time."

Diehards Line:Kolb, who agreed to a five-year, $63 million extension after the Cardinals acquired him in a trade with the Eagles last summer, was hampered by a foot injury and concussion last season. It should be noted that despite reports of $21 million in guaranteed money, Republic staffer Kent Somers notes the "guaranteed" money was actually closer to $12 million. That included Kolb's $10 million signing bonus and his first-year salary. He's also due a $7 million roster bonus -- but that's guaranteed only for injury -- on March 17. The Cardinals don't have to pay it if Kolb is healthy. Kolb said this week that "every indication on my end shows me that I'll be there. ..." Somers agrees, advising readers the Cardinals like Kolb's potential and think he was starting to turn the corner when he suffered a concussion on Dec. 11 against the 49ers.
