PHOENIX — The agent for Kurt Warner says the Arizona Cardinals quarterback will hold a news conference on Friday to announce whether he will retire from the game.

Mark Bartelstein, in a telephone interview on Wednesday, said the announcement will be made at the Cardinals training facility in Tempe. Bartelstein declined to reveal Warner’s decision.
The 38-year-old quarterback, who has led two franchises to the Super Bowl and one to the NFL title, has strongly considered retirement in the wake of a season that saw him miss a game with a concussion. He led the Cardinals to an 11-7 season, including a wild playoff victory over Green Bay, one year after directing Arizona on a stunning run to the Super Bowl.
The Cardinals were eliminated 11 days ago in the divisional round by New Orleans.
