The Cardinals made a big splash in the free-agent market Sunday, agreeing in principle to a contract with running back Edgerrin James, a source close to the team told ESPN.com.

James' deal is for four years, the Arizona Republic reported, although financial terms were not immediately available.

The Colts, who believed they had a "50-50" chance of retaining the two-time rushing champion, were faced with salary-cap restrictions.

Nice pickup for AZ, I think they will regret Warner, but they are starting to put together a good team.

Browns are making some good moves as well.

Hey Torn, that is huge news out of Sun Devils stadium. Adding James to the likes of Fitzgerald and Boldin, makes the Cards 'appear' to be somewhat of an offensive threat. If Kurt Warner ever gets back to his LA Rams 'glory days' type success, then the Cards could scoop up a wild card this upcoming season. And if that happends then good for them! Its about time they have a better claim to fame than being the NFL team of focus on the movie Jerry Maguire.

holy shit the Bidwells finally made a good move and spent some money... I guess giving them the stadium they were promised in '87 or so made them a bit happier

Shhhh, don't say that to loudly. They still have money to spend on defense, and they can still screw it up.

Speaking of... I'm hoping they don't sign Chris Hope. In the pittsburgh vs Browns game this year he was beaten by everybody but the water boy... to bad the Browns dropped most of the passes..... and Droughns ran over him 3 times. He hasn't impressed me any time I've seen him.

I would love to land LaVar Arrington, though. I think he would a great outside backer in a 3-4 defense. Doesn't look like they're trying to hard to get him, though.

The browns would be lucky to land a hi-caliber player like Chris Hope. Too bad they only get fired up when they play the Steelers. 1 game/per season is nothing to write home about.
