Another guy in a contract year.

We could be bringing a lot of the old band back together on the cheap in 2025.

My point is they could be able to do both. Hernandez and Gardeck could likely come back on the cheap. Gardeck is best as a part-time rush specialist anyway; Hernandez would be the incumbent for a job that I'm guessing Monti will want to replace with a developing draft pick like Adams or Jon Gaines.

Love me some Gardecky... but dude is a speed and agility guy who will be 31 next August. We all know it takes most guys until the second season back to return to form.
But he will be an undersized 32 year old speed rusher who never was "great" by then.

Common sense says Dennis has taken his last snap as a Cardinal.
Especially with Beej coming back and next year's first round pick likely being a pass rusher.

Really feel bad for him.

That front 7 stepped it up last night-

Apologies, the whole 11 did.

He’s always been a bill bates, but 4x more useful… breaks my heart, but I’m gonna keep looking at the FO.


What a difference it made having a pass rush last night….

Same knee as 2020 and the chances of retearing is extremely low, such horrible luck for him!

Reddick is still available. He only signed an adjusted contract for this year. I think he may actually get traded now.
Probably not doable. There is a poison pill in the Eagles - Jets trade. If Jets moves Reddick to a NFC team, the Jets pays a 2nd rounder in compensation.

Third ACL tear. Ouch.
Yeah... he tore his right ACL in his senior year of high school and again in 2020. He was pretty ineffective in 2021. I haven't heard whether this is the third tear of the right ACL or the first tear of the left one.
