CHICAGO (TICKER) �Kurt Warner is not ready to head into retirement.

Warner�s agent told the Chicago Sun-Times on Friday that his client will return for the 2009 season.

There had been speculation that Warner, who revitalized his career in leading the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl this past season, was mulling retirement.

�He�s decided he�s going to play,� Warner�s agent Mark Bartelstein said. �He�s made up his mind. He wants to play.�

Bartelstein also said that Warner, who is eligible to become a free agent on February 27, would like to stay with the Cardinals. He also said Warner�s goal is to play for two more seasons and have an option for a third year.

�We�re not going to fool anybody,� Bartelstein said. �He�d like to stay in Arizona. That would be his first choice. But he owes it to himself and his family to have an open mind. If we can get a deal done with the Cardinals, great. If not, then obviously you�ve got to look at free agency.�

A two-time MVP, Warner threw for 4,583 yards with 30 touchdowns and 14 interceptions this past season.

Warner, who turns 38 on June 22, nearly capped his season in dramatic fashion as he threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns in a wild 27-23 loss to Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII.

Good for him, a great person and player hope to see him win some games for the Cards

He's loves the game for sure. A great baller I hope he get's serious consideration for the HOF. A win against the steelers would have solidified it. Go figure, I never would have imagined Big Ben a HOF candidate. He does just barely enough to get the job done. He also has a pair of rings.

I think this a great decision by Kurt to come back. Although I think this will be his last year, hopefully the Cards make the playoffs again.

Sweet that means more Warner GU for me lol I seriously hope he gets to the HOF... he is such as class act (compared to most of the players in the NFL)

As good of a guy he is, I would like to see him go to another team so Leinart gets another shot.

yay hes on my fantasy team. And he put up numbers last year. And hes from my home state. And Leinart is garbo. And he wont amount to anything.
