Free Agency Rumors

[Chopper0080]

The actual move here is to sign Mitchell Schwartz and then target a C in the draft. They can't cut Pugh now which was contingent on the signing of Linsley. They can have Murray and Jones battle for the RG spot.

The previous plan looked like they would sign Linsley, move Jones to LG between Humphries and Linsley. Have Murray at RG and then draft Teven Jenkins to learn behind Gilbert (aka wait until Gilbert got injured). They would use the dollars saved by cutting Pugh to offset the new money given to Linsley and open up more cap room.

Here’s what pisses me off. LA is one of the worst teams to sign with when it comes to taxes. AZ is one of the best. Does Keim use this when he’s making his offers?

this is out of date

for high earners, recently passed proposition puts a 3.5 percentage point surcharge on high earners. For NFL players, AZ is a high tax state rivalling California

Surely u know more names then I do
What the additions u would like for the Cardinals

Linsley was the top player at a position of need. His contract wasn’t prohibitive.
Golloday or Fuller would be nice. Verrett signed for 5.5 mill. That’s nothing.
OL, CB, and Wr should be the Cards targets.

What plan Chopper? You have been saying for weeks that we’re gonna restructure Jones, get one of the big OL FA. Doesn’t look like any of that is happening.

interesting end of day (NFL in general, rather than just the Cards):

Reddick still out there.

all WRs still out there.

Trent Williams still out there. that would be bad for SF if he left.

not a hint on P2 action

 

[slanidrac16]

Bold prediction . Breshad Perriman as our #2 Wr.

 

[Chopper0080]

Schwartz is probably the only other linemen outside of Kyle Long to be worth a large contract. Outside of that, we are likely looking at scraps deals which is not super fun as a fan.

Ultimately the Linsley deal hurts because it was a huge need and a one of the best in the NFL.

they did hire the Jets WR coach who saw him up close for a year

if they signed him, i would call it "candidate for #2"

That’s why the Bold prediction”. ! Lol

He is a good fit. The issue with signing a WR is that someone on the roster is the odd man out.

You aren't wrong in that Keim didn't get Linsley. I still believe the Chandler Jones extension is coming. But as you say...

Odd man out. I don’t think most of us would even notice one of them missing

 

[Chopper0080]

You might be right Cheese...

our big moves may be done with Watt.

Mike Davis RB
Breshad Perriman WR
Matt Prater K
Some average CBs
Keep Markus Golden

Gladly give up AI for Perriman.

It is still a hit. Our draft classes have been so bad that any more players failing out is just salt on the wound. Being devoid of young talent is not a fun place to be.

I want to be on the record that having money and Peterson hanging out there is scary as hell.

ALL IN BABY!

 

[juza76]

ALL IN BABY!

Not a sexy scenario
Then we have just 5 picks in the draft

and those are usually very productive!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That is a punch to the junk. Time to pivot.

To what exactly?

 

[Chopper0080]

ALL IN BABY!

It wouldnt be the route I would take if my job was on the line.

 

[Chopper0080]

To what exactly?

For me it would be Schwartz or Kyle Long.

What is interesting and frustrating is that I was messaging jess root on twitter regarding a comment he made about Kugler not liking to start rookies and it seems like a legit report. That would mean expecting a draft pick to be taken and make an immediate impact is less than likely.

lol... same.

but maybe his job isn't on the line. I mean, it's been five years since we even sniffed the playoffs. what's another five to throw on the fire?

Lol you’re still more optimistic than me anticipating us signing Mike Davis and breshard perriman. I’ll be surprised if we even land those leftovers.

Yeah in other words, no real cavalry on the horizon.

wait... Schwartz will be 32 years old before the season starts and just had back surgery last month? Seems like a perfect fit for this team. Book that signing happening.

or Kyle Long who's also 32 years old, missed 30 of his last 64 games before retiring last season because his body was so banged up? Man... he seems even more tempting!

These aren't criticisms of YOU Chopper. I know you're looking at the best possible outcome at this point and with all the actually talented OL gonzo, this is the slop left over. If this is what Keim is thinking, this team can go ahead and F the hell off as far as I'm concerned.
