Highest annual compensation for tackles in the NFL is more like $30 mil. Last year PJJ mused in conversation that he'd like to make $40 mil some day. This is far removed from an actual contract demand.
I'd be thinking third or fourth round at best, due to the extra risk of drafting a guy with a history of serious gambling addiction. There's no way I'd risk a 2027 first or second round draft choice on this guy regardless of his talent.
Exaggerate much? Brissett and Minshew are established NFL backup quarterbacks. Beck will probably be the same. You can call Slovis, who won't be on the team, a practice squad player. Who knows about Beck...probably a backup QB, but again, who knows.
The answer to your question is an emphatic..NO!
This list of players is complete dreck and is just another use of the all to familiar Cardinal roster strategy of "addition by subtraction."
Last year I was pretty sure that the Cardinals would contend for a playoff spot and definitely finish ahead of Seattle in the West. This year I'm pretty sure that they will finish last in the West and not be in the playoffs.
It's official...the Cardinals will be in the playoffs.
To be fair 2025 was the first season that Monti and the Cards could have reasonably moved on from Kyler. If Murray was jettisoned in either 2023 or 2024 it would have created a dead money cap hit of $80-$85 million dollars. Getting rid of Murray in 2025 still would have been a $45-$50 million...
Roy Lopez is 6'2 , 318lbs. and Andrew Billings is 6'1, 340 lbs. I would assume they are the D-linemen in the middle for goal line and short yardage situations.
Also, there always seem to be opportunities to pick up guys like this after the draft who are one dimensional but can add some value...
Proctor weighted 291 at the combine and 295 at his pro day. Playing weight in the 290's is fairly typical of D-lineman. Aaron Donald did pretty good at 285(no I'm not comparing him to Aaron Donald). Granted, he's not going to be a big run-stuffing D-lineman. Definitely a penetrator.
A GM's failure to sign any one particular player can hardly be the reason to denigrate the GM. Players choose to go or not go to a particular team for a variety of reasons and I'm not sure that Ossenfort could have done anything different after last season to entice Campbell to sign with the...
There's a lot of sins you can ascribe to Ossenfort, but i don't think this is one of them. Ossenfort signed Campbell last year and good on him. Campbell deciding to play, what is probably his last year, for a team with legitimate Superbowl aspirations is not hard to understand.
To be fair, both Keim(2013-2023) and Graves(2003-2013) were both general managers of the team for 10 years. At least Keim got to the playoffs in his second and third year as GM, but nada for Graves in his first three years.
