Kurt Warner
Kurt Warner Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner will announce Friday at a news conference whether he plans to retire or come back for another season, according to a Cardinals source.

There are all kinds of rumors and speculation, but, the widespread assumption is that the 38-year-old Warner will step away from the game. In fact, Warner has already begun to gathering his family so they can attend Friday's news conference at the team's training facility.

Warner wants to make the decision quickly. He has multiple promotional appearance commitments during Super Bowl week in Miami.

According to a source, Warner would prefer to address his future before than to remove the focus from his
future as quickly as possible so it's not an issue next week.

Warner has been voted to five Pro Bowls, won two NFL MVP awards and one Super Bowl. He became the second quarterback in history to throw more than 100 touchdown passes for two NFL franchises.

Warner certainly has not been playing like a quarterback nearing the end of his career. In the wild-card round against the Green Bay Packers, he threw for 379 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions during Arizona's 51-45 overtime victory.

This season, Warner tossed 26 touchdowns and passed for over 3,700 yards.

Since the Cardinals were eliminated from the post-season by the Saints in the divisional round, Warner has spent his days mulling over his decision with family.
