an ongoing story. ... James still wants the Cardinals to release him -- sooner, rather than later -- insisting that he and his employers came to a de facto agreement that he would not return to the team for the 2009 season after he was benched midway through ’08. “We had a clear, mutual understanding of where we both were at – that this was going to be my last year – so it shouldn’t be that big a deal,” James said. “My mind is already set. It didn’t work, and it’s time for me to push on."

James, who has one year and $5 million remaining on his current deal, believes he does not fit the Cardinals’ offensive system and wants to go to a team that will better utilize his abilities. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, is scheduled to meet with Cardinals officials at the NFL Scouting Combine this week to discuss the situation. As previously noted, the Cardinals don't appear to be in a huge rush to grant James' wish.
