Cardinals GM: No Discussions With Marc Bulger Right Now

Cardinals GM Rod Graves has apparently caught wind of Jason Cole's Yahoo! Sports report that the team is considering adding Marc Bulger if the Matt Leinart continues to spiral.

According to Graves, Leinart has played well thus far in OTAs and the team is not considering a move to Bulger.

"We are not actively engaged in discussion with Marc Bulger," Graves said. "If he is interested, we're appreciative but right now, we're focused on the guys that we have here. Matt has done a great job so far but so has Derek Anderson and our young guys (rookies Max Hall and John Skelton). I've learned to never say never. Who knows what may happen? (Coach) Ken (Whisenhunt) hasn't made any final decisions on who will be the starter at quarterback. Right now, we're not looking outside of our group. That's not our focus."

Ah, the ol' "never say never" qualifier.

Here's the deal. The Cardinals have a young quarterback who hasn't played a lot and Graves likely understands that adding pressure to said young quarterback isn't the way to approach things in May. Bulger will be there for a while and he's capable of running the Cardinals system with little warm-up time. So now's not the time to be applying pressure to Leinart. While we're not doubting what Graves has to say, that reality should be pointed out.

The Cardinals have had a tremendous amount of success with a guy coming from an incredibly similar background as Kurt Warner so this is certainly a possible marriage to keep an eye on.
