The Facts: The Sideline View's Adam Caplan reports the Cardinals are expected to huddle with Kolb's representatives later this week, according to a source. Kolb is set to earn $9 million this season, along with an additional $2 million roster bonus due Saturday.

Diehards Line:ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported last month that Kolb's future with the team is "up in the air." There's no way the Cardinals bring Kolb back at his current cost, and as NFL.com's Marc Sessler suggests, there's little to suggest new HC Bruce Arians is galvanized by the 28-year-old passer who's started just 14 games for Arizona over two seasons. The team's decision to lock down passer Brian Hoyer with a second-round tender last week is another indication the Cardinals are preparing to move on from Kolb unless a major pay cut is agreed to. ... And if talks don't lead to a restructured deal and Kolb is set free, he quickly becomes the top prize in a shallow quarterback market.
