You can only put so much capital into one part of the team. I think they have an exceptional pass rush as is.
Ok, I'll play. What capital have they put into the EDGE position?
Sweat's contract. 100%. 19 mil per year.
A non-contributing 2nd round pick going into this 3rd season.
2 years, 7.5 per, in Baron Browning.
A 5th rounder in Xavier Thomas.
A 3rd rounder in Jordan Burch.
A two year, 14 mil extension to Zaven Collins.
In 2025, the Cardinals are 24th in EDGE spending at 23.15 mil per OTC.
In 2026, the Cardinals will have 32.2 mil allocated to the EDGE position which will put them 14th in the NFL. They have 28.7 mil allocated to S that same year.
The Cardinals have allocated as much dollars in EDGE as they have in Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson and Sean Murphy Bunting. They have allocated more draft capital at CB than they have at EDGE since Monti took over.
Your claim that they have in some way maxed their investment in the EDGE position is uninformed, and the idea that their pass rush, from the edge position, is "exceptional" is not based in fact.
