The Facts:
General manager Rod Graves spoke with James by phone this week, and though Graves wouldn't reveal details of the conversation, the parties likely agreed to disagree. James wants to be released, and the Cardinals aren't going to do that until they have a suitable replacement.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"We have not made a definitive decision on Edgerrin James," Graves explained. "We did have a conversation during the season where that was an acknowledgement how he felt about him being with us after the season. We said we would sit down and talk about it after the season was over. ... But there was no commitment with respect to a timeframe or even that we would let him go. ..." James and rookie Tim Hightower are the only running backs under contract. J.J. Arrington is due to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the month. And because the Cardinals don't need the $5 million in additional cap space that would result from releasing James, so it appears they will wait until the position has been solidified.
