The Facts:
The agent for Warner says he expected the QB and the Cardinals would have a contract agreement by now and hopes the team isn’t using his client’s desire to stay in Arizona against him. Agent Mark Bartelstein said Warner deserves a salary among the top “four or five” quarterbacks in the league, no matter where he plays. According to Bartelstein, those five earn an average of about $14.5 million per year.

As previously noted, Warner said on Tuesday he was leaning toward either signing with Arizona or retiring. His comments add to the leverage the Cardinals have in their negotiations, but Bartelstein said it would be unfair to pay the quarterback less than he deserves just because he wants to stay put. “I really hope it doesn’t get used against him that he’s a Cardinal,” the agent said. Warner will become a free agent Friday unless a deal is done before then.
