| Clancy And Brown Cut Loose A day after we reported that the Cardinals given a "take a pay cut or move on (and move out)" ultimatum to defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy and offensive lineman Milford Brown, the team dumped both players. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said on Tuesday that he met with the players on Monday to ask them to reduce their pay. They both declined. "I didn't want it to come down to a situation in training camp where we had to make a decision about these guys based on the money," Whisenhunt said. "Also, if they didn't want to restructure, I wanted to give them the opportunity to get on somewhere else. They decided they didn't to restructure, so I respect them. "We're doing some things differently offensively and defensively. Out of respect to Kendrick and Milford, I didn't want it to come down to a situation at the last cut and have to make a decision at that point." Though it all sounds rather magnanimous (thanks, Tiki) of Whisenhunt, there's also that little thing about not having enough cap room to sign all of the team's draft picks, and needing to unload salaries in order to get the rookie deals done.
