The Facts: Following Sunday's Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Warner becomes a free agent. Meanwhile, in Chicago, agent Mark Bartelstein is hatching an all-inclusive plan that would give other teams a chance to make an offer to his client. "My view with players is always that once you get to free agency, you have earned the right to find out about yourself. You would be silly not to have an open mind," Bartelstein said.

Diehards Line:The Cardinals will have to decide whether they want to commit to Warner while young first-round pick Matt Leinart sits in the wings. "Look, Kurt has had a great time (with Arizona). He loves the coaching staff and the guys on the team. He has built great connections with his teammates. So certainly I think he would love to get something done," Bartelstein said. The Cardinals have also signaled a desire to keep Warner. Consider Bartelstein's comments the first round of negotiations.
