Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The timing of the news makes sense. Kolb is due a $2 million roster bonus on March 17 and he's due $9 million in base salary in 2013. The Cardinals made it clear that Kolb would have to take a significant pay cut to remain with the team. It sounds like that's not going to happen. As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal suggests, it's quite possible that the Cardinals simply decided that Kolb was not a fit for Bruce Arians' vertical offense. With Drew Stanton now in place after signing in free agency, the Cardinals now look comfortable enough at the quarterback position. They have Stanton, Brian Hoyer, Ryan Lindley and John Skelton on the roster. ... Worth noting: It sounds like Kolb will have suitors as a free agent. In fact, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that if the price is right, Kolb will not just be on the Jets’ roster but will be the favorite to be the Week 1 starter.
