TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) Two months after raising the possibility of retirement, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner on Wednesday said he would return in 2007.

Although Warner left himself room to change his mind, it was his most definitive statement yet about his plans.

In October, the 35-year-old Warner acknowledged he had begun considering retirement after losing the starting job to rookie Matt Leinart. But Warner, who has two years remaining on his contract, said he's looking forward to a 10th NFL season.

``I've thought about it a lot, and I'm going to come back and play,'' Warner said. ``I want to play. I feel like I've got a lot of football left in me.

``Not that that can't change when the offseason comes around and me and my family sit down and all of those types of things,'' Warner said. ``But I signed a contract to be here with the Cardinals.''
