--Cardinals coaches didn't get any time off after the Super Bowl. They were back in the office Tuesday, evaluating their own players. In the next few days, they will start ranking potential free agents around the league. "We're five weeks behind a lot of teams," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "Don't mistake me on this - this is a very good problem to have, but we're five weeks behind. You would like to take a chance to decompress and get away, but you don't have that luxury."
--The players are philosophic about the chances of keeping this team intact for 2009. "We're not going to keep this team together," QB Kurt Warner said. "You understand that is this business. That's part of the special season that we had. It's a special group of guys that will probably only be together this season."
--ILB Karlos Dansby said in Tampa before Super Bowl XLIII that he wanted to be first up when it came to negotiations this season. He backed off that stance a bit this week. "Everybody wants to come back and be a part of a winning team," he said. "We've got some unfinished business, man. We planted the seed in Florida. Hopefully, next year we can go back and reap the fruit."
--FS Aaron Francisco thought Steelers linebacker James Harrison should have been ejected from the Super Bowl for throwing punches at Francisco on a punt. "I know he's a great player but if he wants to come out like that and show he has no class, that's on him," Francisco said.
