OT: Cardinals release Adrian Wilson </3 

Post#1 » by King Of Wang » Sat Mar 9, 2013 12:10 am

WOW!!!! The Cardinals just released 5-time pro-bowler and 12 year veteran of the Cardinals, SS Adrian Wilson today. He was only due 2.5 million this year and was STILL one of the top safeties in the league. He was PLAYING through SEVERE injuries throughout his career just to help this team and they reward him by releasing him. He was starting to re-gain his monster form at the end of the season when he was starting to recover and now this happens. What a joke. Why are both the Cardinals and Suns just completely inept at everything they do??? This is another terrible day for Arizona sports, especially the fans like me who have LOVED this man's dedication, hard-work, domination and loyalty to the team.

God Bless you Adrian and thank you for all of the great memories. You will be missed :( I will definitely be there the day that your jersey is retired at University of Phoenix Stadium. You and Larry Fitz will always be my favorite Cardinals and you were a major part of our Superbowl run

Suns and Cardinals continue to stab the heroes of the team and city in the back and he even took a severe salary cut just to retire as a Cardinal. Screw the Cardinals, and God Bless the Arizona hero, Adrian Wilson. Another terrible day for our pathetic franchises

Serious? He was terrible this year... He was terrific in his prime and a great Card but business is business.

Yeah he was injured, that's why he sucked at the beginning of the season. He was playing through a TORN BICEP!!! Let's see anyone else attempt to do that, let alone play at a high level. When he was gaining his health back at the end of the season he was dominating fools again. Hey at least we have Rashad Johnson to replace him :p

and his leadership to the team in the locker room was invaluable as well. He was a true class act and the most loyal Cardinal in franchise history to boot

AND he could have had over 8 million in salary per year but took a pay cut to 2.5 mil just so the Cardinals could be more competitive under the cap and so that he could retire as a Cardinal. If that doesn't deserve respect then I don't know what does

His injury was two seasons ago. As for Rashad Johnson he played over A-Dub anyway cause Horton benched him. Again he was a terrific player in his prime but he was getting worked in coverage and was a liability against the run.

Change title to "The Suns FO is not that bad...compared to the Cardinals."

Seriously, I hate being a Cardinals fan. Business aside, the guy wanted to be a Cardinal for his entire career, even took a pay cut to stay in AZ when he could have got a lot more somewhere else. If anything, this shows players should try to get every dollar possible from the Cardinals organization because they don't show any loyalty to players.

The Cardinals better not expect any player from now on to accept a hometown discount. I also expect more contract hold outs in the future, this franchise doesn't deserve loyal players, which is a damn shame, thanks Bidwills.

So you keep a guy who's terrible because he used to be good for you? Thank God fans aren't running our teams... Arizona was up against the cap and A-Dub was a backup, no-brainer move.

My man, you are a great poster and I agree with 99% of the posts you always make. You are a very educated fan. BUT, on this issue you are completely wrong. A-Dub was the heart and soul, and Steve Nash of the Cardinals. He was with us through the MISERABLE times and ALWAYS played his heart out for this team and played through gruesome injuries just to help us win. He was the team leader also and made everyone on the team better with his heart, dedication and hard work. HE was the main reason the Cardinals culture changed from "Same Ole Cards" to SuperBowl contenders, he held everyone around him accountable to give their all for the team. He still had A LOT left in the tank and was only due 2.5 MILLION!!! That is like peanuts to an NFL franchise. That would be like the Suns releasing Steve Nash (when they were still contending, because NFL teams can win any given year) when he was only due 3 million. You cannot betray a man that gave everything to this team like that. He took a severe paycut and everything to retire as a Cardinal and they flat-out betrayed him. Good luck recieving loyalty from ANYONE in this league after this incident. Cardinals will regret this day, trust me. Here is a couple articles on the crime that occurred Friday...

It's clear where you stand on Wilson ... based on your comments he was mistreated by the FO.

I'm curious about Nash. Did the FO make the right move by not trading him last season? By not re-signing him this summer? By trading him to the Lakers this summer? Which one of three do you think was the best option?

bigfoot- football is completely different from basketball. ANY team can win any given year, it's all about who gets hot at the end because it is best of 1. But as for Nash, since we were out of contention two years ago, I believe he should have been traded then and we could have started our rebuild sooner. But $arver wanted to milk those extra profits and potential 8th seed playoff games so he kept him another year. Two years ago was when I wanted to trade him but NEVER to the damn Lakers. That was a criminal move. Lakers are our biggest rival in Arizona Sports history and $arver just fed them our two-time MVP and hero for two late round picks. That was disgusting also and another reason why $arver is the worst owner in the history of sports. I would only trade Nash to them if they gave us a guaranteed top 3 pick or Kobe....and even then I would hesitate lol

But thank you for the respectable post, lets try to keep it that way and stick to constructive arguments. I don't like arguing with Suns fans. Cheers

Why isn't it a travesty that Nash isn't retiring as a Suns when it is that Wilson isn't as a Cardinal? But fine I will give you pass. Tell me which team(s) we should have worked a trade with two years ago and what we could have gotten in return. Remember, we considered Nash at least an all-star / near superstar. Certainly the 1st or 2nd best player on the team. We would have expected something similar in return.

Certainly the 1st or 2nd best player on the team. We would have expected something similar in return.

As I said, football is completely different. Any team can re-tool and compete in football after one solid offseason, as long as they get hot at the end, because the playoffs are best of one. Just make the playoffs and anything can happen, unlike basketball where the better team will win 95% of the time. And the season is so short too that every game matters, you see SuperBowl champs from previous years miss the playoffs the next season even though they have the same roster pretty much lol. That is what makes football so great and the most popular sport in the country.

But as for Nash, they definitely could have had a better haul than two late round picks 2 years ago for him, or at least the same at the worst. But the main plus of trading him 2 years ago would have been that our rebuild could have started sooner and we could have picked in top 5 range possibly instead of the 13th pick and Kendall Marshall. That was a complete waste of a season when we should have started our rebuild. Now the pain is only going to last longer. And Nash couldn't retire as a Sun under the $arver regime anyway, because as I said, basketball is different and complete re-builds are necessary when your time is up, unless you are the Lakers and get everything handed to you on a sliver platter. Suns weren't going anywhere under Nash that year and trading him would have been the best choice, not pro-longing the pain another year, not robbing MVSteve of a title opportunity, not hand the Lakers more title opportunities and our two-time MVP, and our re-build could have started a year earlier with another nice piece we could have had this season

Again I am going to provide proof which contradicts your assumption NBA teams have to have a prolonged rebuild. Please read this article.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ycn-7887800

Who knows what will happen next year. Dwight Howard could be a Sun, Chris Paul could be Sun, we could draft the next rookie of the year.

Now back to Nash. I did specifically ask which teams you thought would be willing to give up assets for an aging Nash. You didn't answer it. Instead you said they could have gotten more than two 1sts and two 2nd round picks. Just point out what other teams might have been willing to give up these type of assets. It would have to be a playoff bound team ... like the Lakers. Maybe the Celtics giving up Rondo and I'm not sure that is plausible. I just don't see which team was going to give the Suns anything.

^^^^ Those are some big and laughable dreams if you honestly think that we ever had or will have a shot at Dwight or CP3. Do you have any idea what $arver and the Suns reputation has become around the league?? We have become the laughing stock of the league, no big name free agent wants to play for $arver, period. Eric Gordon was an enigma, he knew he would be matched regardless and just used us as leverage to recieve his max contract. If you honestly believe we have a shot at any of the big name free agents coming up then I have no clue what to say anymore. And if you don't believe me about our reputation, look at the lockout saga, $arver was the most vocal critic against the player's rights and told them TO THEIR FACES that he only cares about profits. He didn't say that word for word to them, but he did tell them "I have not made what I expected in return for my investment." That obviously told the players he doesn't give two **** about winning and just wants to make profits and the top players around the league called him out for it. And if you don't believe players talk to eachother about this kind of stuff then that is absurd. You need to read between the lines better my friend because it seems to me like you believe everything that $arver, Blanks and Blabby blabber about to the media to pretend like they have a plan. If the Suns sign a big-name free agent with $arver at the helm within the next 5 years then I will personally mail you $200 and eat my crow. You can quote me on that and if I don't come thru RealGM can ban me forever. I am a man of my word. I just know that we have no hope at big-name free agents because of $arver's rep and so the only hope we have is to build through the draft. And by big-name free-agent I am not talking about cap killers like Rudy Gay, I am talking about players like CP3, Lebron, Kyrie, Westbrook, etc. So quote this post and come back to me because I am 100% confident in my basketball knowledge

And as for MVSteve, there are quite a few teams that would have given us a better haul than the criminal fLakers two years ago. Toronto for example, he is a Canadian hero and even though they weren't contending, they would give us AT LEAST a few good picks for him. They gave up a LOTTERY PICK for KYLE LOWRY for Christ's sake!!! Also many contending teams would give us a better haul than the fLakers for a chance at a championship. Yes Nash is old, but two years ago, when they should have traded him, we could have pulled a very nice haul for him. We screwed ourselves by waiting that extra year to trade him and trading him to the damn fLakers was the most corrupt and bs move I have ever witnessed in SPORTS HISTORY!!! Trade our two-time MVP to the state's biggest rival??? Ask the Yankees if they would ever trade Derek Jeter to Boston or if LA would ever trade Kobe to us. That crap just doesn't happen in sports and leave it to $arver to buck that trend. I honestly don't know why there is so much optimism for the Suns FO from some people, it honestly makes no sense to me and leaves me speechless. I respect your opinion though and everyone has different views, I just honestly don't see where you get that optimism from given $arver's atrocious track record

The Seahawks traded for Percy Harvin today (gave up a lot but dude is a beast), and 49ers traded a 6TH ROUND PICK for Anquan Boldin as well!!!! I am throwing up. All of our rivals do everything to win and we just release our team captain and defensive beast over 3 million dollars. Another terrible day for an Arizona sports fan :( It must be nice to have a competent FO that wants to win championships running your favorite team :'(

I'll admit Howard and Paul aren't going to happen. However, I was trying to make the point that NBA teams do have a huge turn arounds. The link I gave you showed that losers can go to contenders in one year. Just used poor examples with Howard/Paul. Suns were one of those given in the link. Who in their right minds would have thought swapping Nash and Marbury would have turned us into instant contenders??

Again Babby/Blanks trading Nash to the Lakers was no different than Colangelo trading Connie Hawkins to the Lakers or Paul Westphal to Sonics. Both teams were hated by the fans and rivals at the time. Both players were loved by the fans. JC made those trade anyways. All RIng of Honor guys traded to the enemy.

Also remember. It was Nash who asked the front office for the trade to the Lakers. The front office didn't want to make that trade but then looked at what they were losing. Nash for nothing or Nash for picks. Seems like a good choice to me.

I guess optimism is just my nature and in that case we are polar opposites. Based on your comments, you see Dragic as the only valuable piece on the Suns. Everyone else is steaming dogshat ... paraphrasing your words. The front office has no redeeming qualities ... corrupt, goons, etc, etc, etc. Hunter has been coaching for 1.5 months and he's useless already because he can't coach offense. Unfortunately my guess is Sarver is here to stay for another 10-15 years. That's a lot of hopelessness to live with.

I know exactly what you are saying bro and I agree. But as I said, $arver's reputation around the league has been DESTROYED and that is a fact. Trades and draft are our main tools to utilize now. Kerrsed even said that the Suns FO turned down a Gortat/Duds/1st round pick for Harden deal in the offseason. Believe that or not, but if true then we officially have no hope

We are a better defense without A-Dub at this point of his career. It's very simple...

We have a GM & coach now, time to be patient and see what they can do.

Another terrible day for an Arizona sports fan :( It must be nice to have a competent FO that wants to win championships running your favorite team :'(


We are a better defense without A-Dub at this point of his career. It's very simple...


We have a GM & coach now, time to be patient and see what they can do.

:-?

I watched EVERY Cards game this year and Wilson was dominating towards the end of the season after he was fully healthy again. Not sure what that is based off of. Yes he is not good in coverage but that's why we have Kerry Rhodes, use him to his strengths. A-Dub puts fear in every offensive player, even the QB, because he can end their career in 2 seconds with his monster hits. I would be a millionaire if I received a penny for every time a receiver dropped an easy catch or the QB just threw the ball away in fear of A-Dub knocking them unconscious from the blind side. He is not what he was in his prime but he is a HUGE upgrade over Rashad Johnson and he actually costs almost the same. A-Dub still dominates in Safety Blitzes and Nickel Coverage and was the team's leader, captain and set the example for all of the youngsters to follow (which is invaluable). We can agree to disagree on this, but I know that A-Dub still has a lot left in the tank. He is 34 years old, not 40. If his contract was over the top then I would agree, but at 2.5 mil??? We have bench warmers that make more. I am excited about Arians as coach, just don't like this move to start the regime while our rivals tremendously just improved their wide receiver corps already and were already 20 times better than us with huge upside QB's, and dominating O-Lines and defenses to boot.
