Marcus Gilbert LT $8 million for zero plays

[ARZCardinals]

Great signing Keim

Mikes gotta love it! $8 million for a guy who was injured when you signed him. He’s not played one down and now he’s an unrestricted free agent.

he’s signed way too many injured players

We are sure paying a lot of players to not play for us

Keim throws Cardinals $$$$ around like it is Monopoly $$$.

Can't see things changing if Keim remains the GM. History has a way of repeating itself.

This isn’t particularly fair. We knew the risk we were taking on Gilbert. $8 million for a starting-quality RT is a good price if it worked out.

 

[GatorAZ]

They traded him for a reason.

And not a large pool of healthy good player were available.

 

[football karma]

lots to criticize Keim for... this isnt really one of them

the fact that Gilbert tore his ACL in the last practice before the season started is more bad luck than poor decision

i think the real criticism is that when a player with an injury history got injured ... you were starting a guy claimed off waivers.

i dont have an issue taking a risk on a pro-bowl tackle -- i have an issue with not keeping a backup plan ready

 

[TheCardFan]

How do you predict a guy is going to tear his ACL?

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Make sure Fitz takes a $4 million paycut.

The Cardinals remind me of an NBA team signing injured players just to hit the salary cap floor.

Don’t forget Garcia.

Don’t forget Garcia.

That was a smart move, you take a guard who is injured and expected to be on PUP, then you have an experienced backup mid season, if needed.

The OL moves were solid this year, since the draft was weak for OL and so was free agency. I want Keim gone, but I credit him this.

 

[Stout]

This was a 100 percent moronic move from the get-go, and now, in retrospect, it's still stupid. Let's throw money at the oft injured lineman, then be surprised when he gets injured? lol

This is all you could come up with today?

Has Garcia played at all this year and are we counting on him to be part of the starting unit next year?

He was injured until two weeks ago. And I can't see him forcing Pugh or Sweezy to the bench. And, Cole has got plays at both G spots even when Garcia finally got active.

No snaps, one year contract, but he was active today instead of Galliard.

While it’s admittedly hard to predict a specific injury, his history indicated he’d tear something. Some players just reach that point. The Steelers predicted he was there.

Marcus doesn’t know how much fun he is missing. For the experts on the board: any chance he can opt back in?

 

[Jim Otis]

The signing doesn't look near as bad if you compare it to the Bradford signing , so I hope this was helpful !!!

Why would anyone want him back?
