This thread is mad. Sweat average 8 sacks a season and plays about 60% of snaps. He's a #2 Edge on a playoff team.
He's unhappy for several reasons, not least of which is we fired the reason he came here a year ago. With Josh Sweat this team had the 29th ranked defense but you're talking about...
I'm pretty sure I said I expect Sweat to have a down year and explained why. In which case the limited talent I expect him to show isn't worth much.
He clearly stopped playing as soon as we started getting whooped. At the start of the year when we were in games his stats were much better...
You think anyone in the league is paying any attention to this? Do you think anyone in the wider NFL fandom is?
The only people paying attention are people who want to use it to manufacturer another reason to attack the org. I expect when it matters, in a few weeks time, he'll be back out there...

Brissett might have a perfectly reasonable offer. He may have had it for weeks. He might just be dragging his heels on saying OK because it gives him an excuse to miss not really voluntary OTAs. Which...
Yes. I'll explain why.
I have concerns about Sweat this year. I don't believe he asked for a trade, but I can imagine he's not happy. He's 29 years old and he's guaranteed a losing season.
From what I have seen of his he doesn't strike me as they "I'm going to do the job 100% no matter what...
Why? Should he just give JB what he wants to get him on the field?
We have no idea what is being asked for. It's just as possible that the Cards have offered a fair raise and JB's camp have either refused it, or are dragging their heels hoping the Cards buckle and offer more.
I'm really not...
Yeah, zero chance he's on punt returns. Kick returns would be slightly more likely but still slim chance. Although there's less risk with the new kick rules so may see some in crucial situations, say when we are behind and need something to happen.
I don't think he's ever returned anyway? But...
