The Arizona Cardinals said they'd wait.

In need of a running back once Ryan Williams was lost for the season, coach Ken Whisenhunt said the team would be patient in their search for a replacement.

Perhaps the time has come to make a move.

A report by the Chicago Sun-Times says the Bears will be parting ways with veteran Chester Taylor, someone the Cards could have interest in.

A 31-year-old veteran, Taylor has spent time in Baltimore, Minnesota and Chicago, tallying 4,663 yards and 25 touchdowns on the ground. Taylor is also a capable receiver, meaning he could play on third downs as well.

Sure, he's coming off a season where he averaged just 2.4 yards per carry, but truth be told the Cardinals will not be adding a star at this point in the season. Fans will have to get used to the idea that the team will not be adding a flashy name right now, but instead someone who they feel can contribute when called upon.

    Chester Taylor - Why not?
    Chester is a great third down back and would offer a change of pace to what Beanie is doing. The Vikings missed him when he left for Chicago. He's a blue collar player that shows up every week.

    Adam get off the P_ t
    This was obviously an article you gave no thought to, nor did you speak with anyone in the Cards organization so you must have wrote it because you were too lazy. "The Cards COULD be interested in Chester Taylor". Wow they could be interested in me also, I am available and only 61 years old. If you cannot do the job you are paid for get out of here.

    Great point cooker. KTAR seems to do more "fantasy" than "actual" reporting.

    What about the price tag?
    From a pure on-the-field football move signing Chester Taylor makes perfect sense. However, unless the guy becomes limited in his options the price to sign Taylor may be too high for the Cardinals.

    I just saw a report by Jason La Canfora or at least I thought, that the bears were going to keep him...
