XTRA Sports is reporting that the 1-4 Arizona Cardinals are shopping Left Tackle Leonard Davis. It is hard to wrap my mind around this rumor simply because of the offensive line struggles. Why would the Cardinals be willing to trade one of their best offensive linemen when that is their weakest spot?

Davis has been a Cardinal since 2001 when the Cardinals drafted him number two overall. He has also started all 80 games that he has played in a Cardinals uniform, including all 5 this season.

Some of the teams mentioned to be interested are the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders seem to be an interesting name given that they are looking for offensive line help and recently Randy Moss saying he "would not mind being traded." With Larry Fitzgerald out for at least 2-5 weeks and potentially longer, that may be an intriguing option. Then again, the last thing the Cardinals need is another overpaid, under performing (Edgerrin James) starter.

There were no specifics given on what exactly the Cardinals would be looking for in return.
