Potential Kyler Trade (Grain of Salt)

[BritCard]

Just don't take Justin Fields as part of the deal please.

Fields would be fine as a backup. If we have learned anything as fans recently it's that scheme, time and circumstances can play a huge role in a QBs output. I'll take the upside gamble with backup floor.

 

[BritCard]

I can see them doing a trade, but they can get more than a 6th in the offseason. Nowhere near a first, but I'm hopeful of at least a 3rd rounder.

Kyler's value is dropping every week.

 

[BritCard]

Not gonnna happen not for a sixth and nor should it

His value is what someone will pay

 

[Denny Green Fan]

What an embarrassment for the franchise

I would take a papa John’s supreme pizza …a third round pick and jj mcarthy at this point…nothing personal against Kyler but man it’s time for somebody else to take over…who is Benjamin allbright? Johnny v says that gentleman claimed “ Kyler won’t be back” …speculation is the Vikings may call ….johnny thinks we can get a 1….i bout spit my beer out

 

[Goldfield]

I’ve supported Kyler this whole time but enough is enough. Time for change.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This. Any individual, with zero knowledge of his actual market, stating any compensation is a nonstarter is silly.

 

[schutd]

What an embarrassment for the franchise

Maybe from an outside perception standpoint. But I don't care about that. Im just hear for the Bravo TV-like drama.

i believe a fair chunk of "value" the Cards would get from trading Murray is accelerating the cap relief via trade vs just cutting him

but again: getting rid of a QB is the easy part. Replacing with someone better.........

 

[CFLredzoned]

If he cleared his IG that would be absolutely hilarious.

We already have someone better on the roster. Is he the long term answer at QB? No. Is he a great QB? No. However, if we can take the $40M we save by trading Murray and invest it in the OL we will be a much better team.

maybe

the NFL experience is filled with backup QBs that have good 1-2-3 game runs and then regress back to who they are

Colt McCoy looked awfully good in stretches, as an example

 

[TheCardFan]

Grain of salt here, but a buddy of mine knows a guy. Says Cardinals are looking to trade Kyler to the Jets for a 6th. Cards take a 20m cap hit for the trade. Friend's buddy knows someone in the front office, and told him about the Benson IR a day in advance.

Is it happening on a Wednesday?

Or maybe we should’ve invested O-line for any quarterback already

 

[az jam]

Kyler won't be traded until the off season and his stock has gone down significantly. We won't get much for him. As many on this board have said "it's time to move on."

 

[Dan H]

Yeah, 100% this. Even Mahomes would look awful behind our O-line.

My wife’s cousin whose friends with this guy in a Tempe coffee shop says his nieces 2nd cousin heard that K1 is being traded to the Blue Jays to help win the World Series.

Ill confirm later.

Let me guess...Cartel Roasting Co?

 

[GatorAZ]

well we got carson palmer for a 7th so...

We got Palmer for a 7th because the Raiders were releasing him. I think Kyler would get a 3rd.

 

[602 Native]

No but that is a solid spot.

@Ouchie-Z-Clown here is one of many examples I mentioned.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Kyler has some warts but he’d get better than a sixth if someone is interested.

But yes we are totally screwed

Maybe if we eat some additional money/kyler is willing to adjust his contract. But the Cards look pretty desperate to dump him rn and it’s hard to imagine many other franchises as desperate to pick up an average starter mid year without the chance to feel him out.

What makes you think they're desperate?

 

[slanidrac16]

I would be impressed if they traded Kyler. It would show me they came to the realization Murray is not the answer.

 

[kerouac9]

What makes you think they’re committed to him?
