The Facts: Two NFL sources confirmed the Cardinals have interest in Carr, who is due to be an unrestricted free agent. Carr spent the past two seasons as the backup to Eli Manning.

Diehards Line:As Republic staffer Kent Somers reminded readers, it's an immediate need for the Cardinals because Matt Leinart is the only quarterback on the roster. Somers notes that Carr is relatively young (turning 31 in July) and healthy. He has high character so he wouldn't cause problems as a backup. Plus, he has starting experience. Other possible candidates? Somers lists Brian St. Pierre, Charlie Batch, Chad Pennington and Daunte Culpepper.
