August 20, 2008 Karlos Dansby missed Tuesday's practice due to an elbow ailment, according to the Arizona Republic. Our View:The injury is not believed to be serious. Dansby looks to be a solid No. 2 linebacker for IDP leagues this season. |

July 14, 2008 The Cardinals and linebacker Karlos Dansby remain "far apart" on a long-term contract, the East Valley Tribune reports. "I don’t think it’s going to happen," agent Kirk Wood says. Dansby received the franchise tag this offseason, and the two sides have until Tuesday, July 15 to work out a long-term deal. Our View:At this point, it doesn't sound like Dansby is a threat to hold out of camp. If that holds true, he'll retain his solid IDP value. |

July 12, 2008 As time moves on, the chances of a new long-term deal for Arizona linebacker Karlos Dansby seem to disipate, according to Pro Football Weekly. Our View:The deadline to come to such an agreement before the franchise tag designation placed on Dansby takes hold for the season comes on July 15th, and with several weeks of rumors that this deal was in the works with no contract signed to date, it seems the two sides are unlikely to get it done. If that holds true, Dansby will be granted a one-year deal to stay in 'Zona for the averaged salaries of the top five players in the league at his position, and the potential to leave next offseason becomes a reality. Sources close to the team suggest GM Rod Graves is willing to give Dansby a strong deal in terms of incentive-based statistics and achievements, but he has balked at the suggestions for multiple years at $9 million per. We'll keep you posted, but the current status of the relationship seems likey to stay intact until the 15th, and beyond. |

July 2, 2008 Reports out of Arizona indicate Cardinals GM Rod Graves and linebacker Karlos Dansby are nearing a new long-term contract agreement, according to AZCentral.com. Our View:Both sides have stated that they would like to get a new deal in place before the July 15th deadline in order to not only free up cap space but also keep Dansby in Arizona for the foreseeable future. If a deal can't be reached, Dansby would play out this season (with $8 million guaranteed) and then be a free agent. Reports have surfaced recently that Dansby and his agent purposed a contract that would pay him about $9 million a season, but the Cardinals obviously didn't agree with that amount. |

June 20, 2008 Karlos Dansby's agent and Cardinals GM ROd Graves have not spoken in a couple weeks as the team and the player attempt to work out a long-term deal, according to the Arizona Republic. Our View:Dansby was signed to a 1-year tender as the team's franchise player ($8.025 million), but negotiations on an extension beyond this season have gone nowhere. |

April 18, 2008 Karlos Dansby signed his one-year, $8.065 million franchise tag tender on Friday, the Arizona Republic confirms. The two sides have until July 15 to reach an agreement on a long-term deal. "Hey, I'm feeling good about it, to be honest," Dansby says. "If it's not what I think I'm worth, then I'm not going to sign." Our View:Dansby's versatility makes him a valuable asset to the Cardinals and in fantasy leagues. At this point, he'll be playing for a huge contract during the 2008 season. |

April 16, 2008 Arizona LB Karlos Dansby will sign the one-year tender offer presented by the team, a decision reached after long-term contract negotiations stalled, according to Scout.com. Our View:Dansby will be paid a touch over $8 million this season and will be a free agent at season's end as a result of the decision, also allowing the play-making tackle machine to resume workouts with the team while his agent and the Cardinals continue to discuss long-term contract options. |

March 31, 2008 Karlos Dansby’s agent, Kirk Wood, met with Arizona Cardinals’ general manager Rod Graves last week, but no progress was made on a long-term deal, according to the Arizona Republic. It’s a positive sign that the two sides are talking; however, Dansby wants a long-term deal and the large amount of guaranteed money that comes with it. A player's main leverage in such negotiations is to withhold his services, so Dansby isn’t likely to show up for off-season workouts, mini-camps or even for the start of training camp without a new, long-term contract extension. |

February 14, 2008 The Arizona Cardinals official team website reported Thursday that the team has placed the "non-exclusive" franchise tag on stalwart linebacker Karlos Dansby. The Cardinals top backer led the team in tackles (117), had 3.5 sacks, three interceptions and four forced fumbles, despite missing two games to injury. |

February 7, 2008 Karlos Dansby will likely be slapped with the team's franchise tag if Arizona cannot sign the linebacker to a long-term contract extension, according to NFL.com. The linebacker franchise tag is $8.065 million. By using their tag on Dansby, the Cardinals risk losing defensive end Calvin Pace arguably their best defensive player this past season. |
