The Cardinals may have fired coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves on Monday, but they are not prepared to dismiss the player who arguably represented the worst decision of their tenure: quarterback Kevin Kolb. Team president Michael Bidwill said Monday that he's "not ready to give up on Kolb," although the embattled passer will likely have to restructure his current contract to stay in Arizona. He's poised to make $11 million in 2013, $2.75 million more than Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.
