Tom Rock at Newsday relays an interview with Arizona Cardinals LB Karlos Dansby, who is due to become a free agent later this month. He spoke with John Riggins and Adam Schein on The Sirius Blitz today and said the following:
Adam Schein: “Would you like the opportunity to play in a big market and specifically with the Giants? I’ve heard that the Giants have interest in you. What’s your reaction to that? Would that be a good fit?”
Karlos Dansby: “Oh, that’s a-whole-nother animal, man. Playing in New York? Who wouldn’t want to play in New York? That’s just like playing for the Dallas Cowboys, you know what I’m saying? It’s a big market. You’re going to get an opportunity to be prime time. It’s a huge market. I wouldn’t mind playing in a huge market. I wouldn’t mind at all. It’s a tough situation to be in for me. Like I said, I want to make sure I’m comfortable, my family is comfortable, and everybody’s happy with the situation. Like I said, Arizona is up first. They gave me the first opportunity so they are the first ones I’m going to take a look at.”
Dansby signed a $8mm deal with the Cardinlas last April, which made him one of the top five highest-paid linebackers in the NFL.
Hat tip to Ryan M for bringing this to our attention.

I was telling a friend that Dansby should be priority #1 in the offseason. It’s good to hear that he at least hasn’t ruled out NY.
I was hoping Dansby would have fallen to #34 in the 2004 draft, but he went 33rd. Granted Giants got Chris Snee so it worked out well.
If the Ravens dont franchise Suggs I would make him my #1 priority, but Dansby would be a great option as well.
Suggs number one priority? Do we really need another DE when we’ll already have 2 All Pros in Tuck and Osi?
