TEMPE, Ariz. Marion Barber Jersey . — Expressing „extreme“ disappointment in Daryl Washington, Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said he wont talk again this season about the standout inside linebacker, who has been suspended a year for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy. „He made a choice and were all living with it,“ Arians said in his first public comments since the suspension was announced last week. The coach said he „obviously hopes Daryl gets his life straightened out.“ „But he also was very unaccountable,“ Arians said, „to his teammates, the organization, the fans and everybody else.“ The coach spoke after the team resumed volunteer organized team activity Monday. Washington, who says the punishment was for marijuana, also was suspended the first four games of last season for violating the NFL substance abuse policy. He faces further potential punishment from the league following his guilty plea to assaulting his ex-girlfriend. The loss of Washington leaves the Cardinals without the two dynamic inside linebackers who were the core of the teams strong defence a year ago. Karlos Dansby, the Cardinals leading tackler last season, signed a free agent contract with Cleveland. Second-year player Kevin Minter, who played one defensive snap as a rookie, already is penciled in as Dansbys replacement. Larry Foote, signed as a free agent, will be a candidate to take Washingtons place, at least part of the time. Lorenzo Alexander, who started at outside linebacker before going down with a foot injury three games into last season, will move inside, a position he has played before and says he loves. Kenny Demens, on the practice squad last season, is another possibility, and the team is looking to sign others. „Its not imperative but we still would like to have some depth because were short now going into camp,“ Arians said. „Wed like to have seven inside linebackers go to camp, so well see whats available and pursue it from there.“ Asked if someone could be signed and become a starter, Arians said, „Hed have to earn it. If theres one available that could do that, Id like to have him.“ Alexander said the Cardinals still have the outstanding defensive front that was largely responsible for the success of the inside linebackers. „All those guys were taking a block to allow D-Wash and Karlos do what theyre going to do,“ he said. „So I dont see why thats going to change and allow us to run for the ball. … Obviously theyre good players but it was a collective team effort that enabled them to have those type of plays and impact in games.“ Quarterback Carson Palmer said an improved offence should help offset the impact of losing Washington. „We have to step up,“ Palmer said. „When you lose a guy like Daryl and you lose Karlos to free agency, Tyrann (Mathieu) is not going to be back probably as fast as wed like, you kind of have to transform. Thats the NFL. … Offensively we have to pick up a ton of slack. We leaned on the defence a lot last year and we expect to be leaned on this year. We need to come through and we will come through.“ Palmer said the players need to support Washington „and love him and try to be there for him through this phase.“ He said Washington needs to keep preparing as a football player through his suspension and „stay away from bad people and bad places.“ „Dont just sit back and relax and wait til next year,“ Palmer said, „because the game can pass you by.“ He said the Cardinals players would welcome Washington back „with open arms.“ „I think this locker room understands guys make mistakes,“ Palmer said. „Some mistakes are more detrimental than others and hurt you more than others … I cant wait to see him. I know hes been through a lot and theres been a lot of crazy things but this locker room will give him a hug, welcome him back and be glad to see him back.“ Washingtons experience has been an example to the teams younger players. Minter has watched what has happened with eyes wide open. „Its like man,“ he said. „Id better not mess up.“ Cheap Cowboys Jerseys . — Andy Granatelli, the former CEO of STP motor oil company who made a mark on motorsports as a car owner, innovator and entrepreneur, has died. DeMarcus Ware Jersey . David Perron had a career high four-point night with two goals and two assists as the Oilers experienced an offensive explosion, blasting the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-0 to record a rare home win for their second victory in a row. SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners added a pair of slugging first baseman-outfielders to go along with Robinson Cano on Wednesday, reaching agreement on a one-year deal with Corey Hart and acquiring Logan Morrison in a trade with the Miami Marlins. Hart confirmed he had agreed to the deal in a text to The Associated Press. The deal is still pending what should be a closely monitored physical after Hart missed all of last season following surgery on his right knee. Morrison was acquired for relief pitcher Carter Capps, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade was pending both teams reviewing medical records. CBSSports.com first reported Harts agreement. „Knees good as well as the rest of me. Been working hard and glad to be able to get out there with this exciting club,“ Hart said in a text message. If Hart can stay healthy, getting the two-time All-Star for one season on a relatively inexpensive deal could be a significant coup for the Mariners, who have made adding offence a top priority this off-season. It started with the stunning $240 million, 10-year agreement reached with Cano late last week and continued by adding a needed right-handed bat in Hart that can provide protection in the lineup. Hart did not play in 2013 because of a right knee surgery in January 2013 after a meniscus tear and joint damage was discovered. It was his second knee surgery in a year after having his right knee operated on before the start of the 2012 season to repaair damaged cartilage. Jon Kitna Jersey. His last season in 2012 was one of the best in his career. Hart hit .270 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs with Milwaukee. Hart also had 35 doubles in 2012 and posted an on-base plus slugging percentage of above .800 from 2010 through 2012. For his career, Hart has hit 154 homers and is hitting .276 in 945 games. Hart has spent his entire career with the Brewers. If hes healthy, Hart has the ability to play both outfield and first base, and outfield depth is one of Seattles biggest concerns going into next season. Hart also could be a solution at designated hitter with Seattle unsure if it will be able to re-sign free agent Kendrys Morales, who was the Mariners top power hitter last season. Morrison also fits Seattles need of having the versatility to play a few different positions and be an option at first base. He has not been able to match the power he showed during the 2011 season when he slugged 23 homers and had 72 RBIs for the Marlins. Morrison also has been slowed by injuries. He had right knee surgery in September 2012 and missed the first two months of the 2013 season before making his debut. He played 85 games last season for Miami. The Miami Herald first reported Morrisons trade. Capps appeared in 53 games out of the bullpen for Seattle last season. He was 3-3 with a 5.49 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 59 innings pitched. Capps struggle was giving up the long ball, allowing 12 home runs. According to STATS, the 12 homers allowed were tied for fourth most given up by any relief pitcher in baseball last season. ‚ ‚ ‚
