‘One source familiar with the talks said that while the Cardinals had originally been looking for something extra in addition to Henry in exchange for Shelton – as was pointed out by Buffalo general manager Tom Donahoe Wednesday during a national radio interview – that was no longer the case.

"We don’t really know his value," Green said. "If Travis did do a deal with us, he would not be satisfied with it. . . . We’d rather him prove he should get the big money."’
