Cardinals allow big tackle to become FA

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Arizona Cardinals told Leonard Davis that they won't name him a franchise or transition player, clearing the offensive tackle to become an unrestricted free agent.

The move, announced in a team news release, was not a surprise because the Cardinals have long felt that Davis would not be worth the huge investment required either to re-sign him or name him a franchise player.

"In fairness to Leonard, we wanted to let him know our position so he can move forward and make plans," said Rod Graves, vice president of football operations. "Our coaching staff has had an opportunity to evaluate Leonard and how he fits in with our team and we feel this is an option that makes the most sense from a football standpoint."

Looks like the Cards will take an offensive lineman this year definetly, at least so it looks. I sort of see why they dont want Davis back and use a tag, but they should be building a line....

He was their offensive line practically. How could they let him go?
