Vortex's Matt Caddell first Tide player to sign free agent contract Matt Caddell became the first University of Alabama player to sign a free agent contract in 2008 when he inked an agreement with the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. A 5-11, 185 pound wide receiver, Caddell finished his collegiate career with the Crimson Tide by turning in 475 yards on 40 catches and 2 touchdowns his senior season. One of those touchdowns received national attention as a candidate for Pontiac’s Game Changing Performance of the year when Caddell hauled in the game winning touchdown with 8 seconds to play to give Alabama a 41-38 win over Arkansas.
In 49 career games , he had 82 receptions for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns. Caddell caught at least one pass in each of his last 10 games and had a career high in 2007 with 9 catches for 91 yards against Arkansas. A native of McCalla, Alabama, Caddell redshirted in 2003 before starting 8 games his freshman season of 2004 and compiling 17 receptions for 331 yards and 1 touchdown. In 2005 he saw action in all 12 games for the Tide and totaled 13 receptions for 179 yards. He started 1 game his junior season and racked up 150 yards on 16 attempts. Caddell will begin his professional career later this week when the Rams host their first Rookie Mini-Camp. |

 Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby officially became $8.065 million richer Thursday, so he has had worse days.
"I feel pretty good about it," Dansby said.
The $8 million and change is the average of the top five highest-paid linebackers in the NFL. The Cardinals were required to make that offer when they designated Dansby their franchise player in February.
Since then, the sides have talked occasionally about a multiyear deal but remain far apart on their opinions of what Dansby is worth. So Dansby elected to sign the tender offer, guaranteeing his salary for the season.
The Cardinals and Dansby's agent, Kirk Wood, have until July 15 to reach a long-term deal. After that date, Dansby must play for the tendered salary and is not eligible to sign a multiyear contract until after the season.
"Hey, I'm feeling good about it, to be honest," Dansby said of his long-term situation. "If it's not what I think I'm worth, then I'm not going to sign. Then if they have to come down and tag me next year . . . they will have their hands full. They won't want to take that big a hit on their salary cap." READ MORE |
