After an all-day negotiating session at the Arizona Cardinals complex Kurt Warner’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, couldn’t reach an agreement.

Barring a last minute phone call, Warner will become a free agent at midnight Thursday.

Bartelstein boarded a flight Thursday evening for his home in the Chicago area, but he said he would keep in contact with the Cardinals.

Warner is hoping to land a contract around in the range of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL — $14 million to $16 million a year. He wants a two-year deal.

The Cardinals have offered $10 million to $12 million.

Talks have been amiable. Warner said he will retire if he doesn’t play for the Cardinals.

I’m thinking he wants to retire and it’s like an excuse for him not to play next year.  Some of these NFL players are just being greedy if you ask me.  With the ECONOMY the way it is, you would think they would just be happy they are making some money and ENJOY the game!
