That’s exciting! Probably means Gunter is gone or going to get a lot less than he thought.

Good job!

There your depth

 

[WindCardinal]

This fills the starters in theory... Philon-Peters-Nkemdiche(like I said... in theory)

 

[Dayman]

This is my favorite signing so far. Young, ascending player at a position of need on a solid, multi-year contract.

Philon is just 25 years old and PFF ranked him above average last year for DT. Had 4 sacks and 9 QB hits. I would think he plays an end in Arizona's 3-4 scheme.

Really underrated player ends up with a chance to be a key contributor in Arizona. twitter.com/TomPelissero/s…

How does this signing impact whether we go with Bosa or Williams with the 1st pick? Or doesn’t it really matter?

Played a sizable role for the Chargers last year, was in on about 60% of snaps on defense.

Probably has more of an affect on the #33 pick and #65 pick, TBH

as an aside: I sure hope the FO is clear-eyed enough to not count on Nkemdiche to contribute

even if healthy its a stretch, and he is coming off an acl injury.

I have heard NOTHING on Gunter, in regards to any team, let alone the Cardinals.

Still young and has been very productive for an interior DL. Not just the 8 sacks he had over the last couple seasons, but last season alone he was credited with 15 QB pressures. Remember him from a few plays on TV and he looks very compact, almost like Aaron Donald. Looks like a good interior pass rusher at a reasonable price considering his age. Does anybody know if he is good against the run as well?

Like this one a lot.

This is where I am at as well. Nice addition by the Cardinals.

If you believe what SK has said many a times over the years, we'll stick with a modified BPA approach which, while it factors in position-need into a prospect's overall rating, favors our picking the highest rated player on our Board regardless of position.

I doubt the Philon signing would mean we would pass on a future Pro Bowl player because we plugged a roster hole.

Which is strange, to me anyway. Does he have some other non football issue going on?

 

[az jam]

Good signing.

Don't have to draft for need anymore
