Source: Giants don’t want Cards Leinart

Matt Leinart suddenly has become available and the Cardinals want to drum up interest for him, which will be difficult to do, because of the bloated salary (he’s due close to $10 million in salary the next two seasons) attached to the former Heisman Trophy winner.
ESPN reported that the Giants, Bills and Raiders have had discussions with the Cardinals about acquiring Leinart. The “discussions” likely were as benign as Cardinals general manager Rod Graves calling Giants counterpart Jerry Reese to gauge his interest and learning the interest is nil. If they don’t stick with Bomar — who will play a great deal tonight after Eli Manning takes an early seat in the preseason finale against the Patriots — the Giants want someone willing to accept a supportive, backup role. Leinart doesn’t fit that characterization. Plus, Leinart wants to go somewhere to start. – NY Post
