Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb's future with the team is up in the air, as it's pretty much a given that if he wants to stay in the desert he'll have to take a pay cut.

Kolb is set to make $9 million this season -- plus a $2 million roster bonus -- but there is no chance the team is going to give that kind of money to a guy who has played in just 15 games over the last two seasons and has yet to become the franchise quarterback the team thought he'd be.

Whether or not Kolb will be willing to restructure his contract is yet to be determined, but it appears talks to do exactly that will happen this week.

The Cardinals have already decided to keep QB Brian Hoyer in the fold, and there is talk about them being interested in drafting a passer or possibly signing one (Drew Stanton?) in free agency. So, it's very possible that Kolb will either give up some money or give up his job with the team.

    Give up money or give up job
    I dont think its a question. Kolb has not shown he is worth his current pay, and there are too many holes on this team to commit that much to him. Its going to boil down to how much he is willing to give up for an opportunity to be a starter.

    New deal
    $6-7 million this year, no roster bonus, incentives for games played and maybe performance. Goes into camp the starter, but no guarantee he keeps it.

    Right now...
    Kolb gives us the best chance to win next season if healthy (big if). Better line play will cut down on the hits he takes obviously. Even if we restructure Kolb i would not rule out drafting Geno.

    Not a lot of good options out there
    Drafting Geno is definitely a mistake, no options in FA, and Kolb will want too much! None of the options are going to produce a franchise QB.

    Just Do It
    Kolb you have made a good chunk of change the last two seasons. Re-negotiate your contract.

    Just cut him
    Cardinals should just cut Kolb and move on. The guy will probably be on NFL's biggest busts one day. He has been one expensive piece of glass and thats all he has proved to be. From turf toe and a concussion keeping him out the first season and hurt ribs the second season.... thats one expensive stained glass mural of kolb you got standing on the sidelines!
