Fantasy Analysis
Although Dansby has yet to play a 16-game season, he did post some nice numbers in 14 games. Dansby had 97 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, three interceptions, eight passes defensed and four forced fumbles. Not surprisingly, Dansby finished the year as a top-30 Fantasy LB. He has always been a high-tackle, moderate sack linebacker worthy of regular Fantasy use. His injury history is an issue, but he's never missed more than two games in any season. Figure Dansby to be a solid No. 2 Fantasy option next year. (Updated 07/16/2008).
LB Karlos Dansby, the Cardinals' franchise player, wasn't signed to an extension by July 15. Now, the two sides must wait until the end of the year to sign a multi-year deal. pleading financial prudence, Graves needs to keep an eye out on the future. Salaries are not going to decrease. Last year, the Cardinals could have signed Dansby for far less than he asking for now -- around $9 million a year average. But the cost of linebackers skyrocketed when the Jets signed Calvin Pace to a deal that pays him about $26 million in the first three years. Dansby's 2008 salary will be $8.065 million as the team's franchise player. 07/17/2008
