Leinart nowhere to be found at Cards camp

Still unable to come to terms with Arizona management, rookie QB Matt Leinart was a no-show at the Cardinals' training camp on Sunday. "We have an excellent deal on the table," said coach Dennis Green, frustrated with Leinart and his agent, Tom Condon, over the impasse. By all indications, the two sides are still quite far apart and it is unknown when Leinart will join the team.
Leinart's fellow rookie and former USC teammate, Reggie Bush, also held out this summer, but reached a deal this weekend after missing two days of training camp. Cardinals QB Kurt Warner — expected to be Leinart's mentor this season — stressed the importance of training camp to rookies: "As a young quarterback, you never want to miss any time, especially as short as training camp is and the limited number of snaps that are there to be had," Warner says. "I know [Leinart] wants to be here, and we all want to have him here. I'm sure he's only a couple of hours away, just waiting for that call to come up. Hopefully it won't be too long."
