Larry Fitzgerald's new deal solved only one of the team's problems. Now they have several other veterans who want new deals. Not all of them will be addressed this off-season.

The priorities will be signing inside linebacker Karlos Dansby, the franchise player, to a long-term deal, and re-signing receiver Anquan Boldin and safety Adrian Wilson.

The club would also like to re-sign Kurt Warner and accomplish two things: lock up a backup for a couple more years and lower his $5 million cap figure.
