Free Agency Rumors

[Stout]

Justin Murray and Pugh are not question marks they are avg level guards. Plus we have Josh Jones. Between Jones and Murray we have one that can play RT as well.

I expect we will resign Beachum, and if we do, we have the same line we had last year which was near middle of the pack.

I know people want our line to be improved, and at center it needs to be, but it is not the disaster many in here make it out to be.

You must not have watched any games. We ROUTINELY give up jail-break pass rushes UP THE MIDDLE OF THE LINE. Our IOL is just plain bad. Starts at C but the problems don't end there.

The obvious fixes are signing Mack, Turner and Schwartz. The issue is that none of those are likely long term and you still have to use draft picks to fix the issue long term.

Hey, don’t forget Marcus Gilbert . He is a lock at one hospital bed.

He didnt get hurt last year , he opted out.

 

[Chopper0080]

I am still holding out hope for a 5 year/35 mil deal for Curtis Samuel in what could be a depressed WR market.

Hoping for him or WJIII otherwise this is lame.

I’d absolutely pay that for Samuel in a heartbeat, he would be great for the offense

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think the tough part is identifying the gap between Murray and Trai Turner.

The gap between Josh Jones and Beachum/Massie.

Honestly, the gap between Cole/Gaillard and Ted Karras.

I know Mitchell Schwartz is good, but the first injury of his career is his back at 32. Alex Mack is better than Cole/Gaillard but also 36 so...not long term.

The next best RG is probably a debate between Trai Turner and Germain Ifedi.

What a sad bit of analysis all that is for the Cardinals.

 

[Chopper0080]

Hoping for him or WJIII otherwise this is lame.

Agreed.

this board flips if Reddick comes back on a one year deal because of a limited market with Jackson, Mack and Samuel also signing.

Wishful thinking of course, but that is what changes the mindset and opens up the draft.

Keim is the bandaid king. As the team limps towards another postseasonless year . . .

Good offensive linemen just don't hit the market for obvious reasons.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

He didnt get hurt last year , he opted out.

Good point. There’s a high likelihood he returns to the high level of play he’s displayed playing for the Cardinals thus far.

I’d consider that a big win.

 

[Chopper0080]

That has been his history. Drove me crazy with the secondary.

I said prior that the given would be older vets on one-year friendly deals. The win would be finding younger guys and getting them on multi year deals for under market.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Agreed.

You’re right.

no way it happens.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Unless they do (Linsley)

 

[Chopper0080]

Unless they do (Linsley)

And that is why him signing in LA stung so much. It shouldn't have (Keim has never been that guy) but still did.

Whatever. You want to count him! Be my guest.

NEED TO GET HIM ASAP!!!!

 

[JohnnyCakes]

Good point. There’s a high likelihood he returns to the high level of play he’s displayed playing for the Cardinals thus far.

huh? My factual statement was in response to a comment insinuating he is always hurt. I was simply clarifying he was not hurt last year, and that he opted out.

You still upset about those guys taking you to the wood shed over the Hassan Reddick valuation? Because if so, you need to let that ship sail.

8th rated center by PFF

$9.6mm salary next year, which apparently the Raiders felt was too high

Dude was rated best center in the league a couple years ago. Raiders cast-offs have been good to us in the past

If the rumor about the Cardinals offering $10+ Mil for Linsley are true they should just offer Hudson that same ear marked money, maybe less guaranteed due to age.

Lol you brought up Reddick, not me. But yeah, that’s a me issue . . .
