"Historically, there have been trades made with players at that position who have not had a great deal of playing time leading up to that," Cardinals GM Rod Graves said. "If you believe in the player and you feel like he's a good fit for your organization, you go after it, and that's what we did. We saw a quarterback there that we felt very excited about, we feel like he can come in and get the job done for us, and put us in a position to be a championship-caliber football team. What's the price for that? To be able to get in that position, let's just say we did what we felt like we had to do to make that happen."
