Cards Matt Leinart to Seahawks?

One of Pete Carroll's first moves with the Seahawks will be trying to acquire Cardinals QB Matt Leinart, his former star college signal caller, according to those familiar with the thinking of the former USC coach.

Carroll believes that Leinart can be a productive NFL player if given the opportunity. Leinart was under center when the Trojans won the AP national championship in 2003, a BCS title in 2004, and an appearance in the BCS National Championship game in 2005.  In 2004, his junior year at USC, he won the Heisman Trophy.

As much as Carroll wants to coach Leinart again in Seattle, NFL sources say its unlikely to happen.

Despite reports Kurt Warner could retire at the end of the postseason, the Cardinals will consider moving on Leinart, who's fallen out of favor with some in the front office, but not to a division rival.

Donovan McNabb who lives in Arizona during the off-season, is a possibility for the Cardinals.
