ESPN NFL insider says Kolb to Cardinals could take a few days

Jul 26, 2011, 2:29 PM | Updated: 3:36 pm

The new NFL year has begun and yet the long anticipated trade between the Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles that would land Kevin Kolb in the desert hasn’t happened yet. That doesn’t mean it won’t. As they say, patience is a virtue.

ESPN NFL analyst John Clayton, as a guest with Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug and Wolf Tuesday morning, told Cardinal fans it’s really not a matter of if a Kolb deal will get done but rather when.

“I talked to some people at about 6:33 a.m. and they’re just kind of waiting,” Clayton said. “They think it may take a day or two but it looks like it’ll still be Arizona. Good things happen for those who wait.”

What’s the hold up? Like any good salesman, Andy Reid and the Eagles are just trying to get the highest value in return for Kolb.
