Bruce Arians knows his history, and he knows his Cardinals’ history – especially recent vintage.
When quarterback Kurt Warner retired after the 2009 season, with a year left on his contract, the Cardinals were left in a bad place. The team is back in a similar situation, with Carson Palmer winding down his career, and Arians doesn’t want a repeat.
Arians talked at length Wednesday during the NFL owners meetings at the Arizona Biltmore about the quarterback position and his team’s need to find a Palmer successor – and he agreed it’s part of his legacy to leave the Cards with a long-term QB.
