I sometimes think that Andre Wadsworth signing so late contributed to his short career

Good to see the Cards getting the picks signed early. The others should follow shortly.

This solidifies Andy Isabella's character issues!

Kyler Murray will get about $35M over the four years of his rookie deal. That's about $30M more than the MLB signing bonus he gave up, and still a great value for the Cardinals if he pans out.

 

[TJ]

That’s a lot of guaranteed coin for a guy who’s only played one full season of college ball

 

[Zeno]

They also cut DL Pasoni Tasini, WR Jalen Tolliver, OT Justin Evans, OG Zach Golditch, OG Will House and OT Brant Weiss.

More will be cut when the other rookies are signed too.

Very good job cards!

Lll remember the waddsworth buster days signing as season starts

MB going make that back in jersey sales alone by the time season starts. There's a reason he keeps smiling like the Cheshire cat around the rook lol

Yes sir, thanks to the rookie cap.

 

[Ohcrap75]

I knew Dogbe was going to hold out!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I knew Dogbe was going to hold out!

Yeah he had that written all over him.

Oh, and it’s apparently kyler’s fault. Because Kyler didn’t throw at the combine. See? Consequences.

Can the unsigned guys participate in rookie camp?

Odegard has his math wrong somewhere. A's gave him $4.6M signing bonus and then sweetened the pot by offering $14M fully guaranteed via a league waiver on top of that. He would have collected close to $19M had he joined the team. Yes, he's getting about $16M more with the cards, but that's a long cry from $30M more.

I'm more convinced now that the Cards had told him he was their pick before the combine, perhaps even before declaring. If he had fell to where Haskins he would have have a net loss. If he was second QB taken it would have been nearly a wash. When you look at how the Giants reached for Jones I think they wanted an Eli clone and Murray was not it. Sure, another team who didn't take a QB in the top 10 may had seen the value with KM if he was available and taken him, but I think it is just as likely he falls out of top 10.

I think that explains why he didn't compete at the combine and went thru the motions on pro day and without running. He was told it was a lock and he was playing not to lose as opposed to trying to move up the boards. The only reason KM didn't just blow off the combine and pro day all together was that would signal that Cards were taking him without question and Keim in his infinite wisdom wanted to make everyone believe we were keeping Rosen right up until we were on the clock thinking that would somehow net us a #1 pick Rosen. Keim is the embodiment of "hold me beer."

Yes. They have some injury protection contract even prior to signing their official deal.

It's been mentioned in various places that - other than Murray at this point - a lot of the uniform numbers may change once the roster has been paired down to the final 55.

I know this is meaningless, but my thoughts:
QB Kyler Murray, #1 - painting a bigger target on his back, but like the swagger
CB Byron Murphy, #33 - not a big fan of 30s for cbs
WR Andy Isabella, #89 - at least it’s in 80s
DL Zach Allen, #97 - love it for DE
WR Hakeem Butler, #17 - not feeling it
S Deionte Thompson, #30 -prefer 40s for safeties but 30 has nice balance to it
WR Keesean Johnson, #19 -works for a work pail type guy
C/OG Lamont Gaillard, #65 - fine
OT Joshua Miles, #66 - prefer 70s for tackles
DL Micheal Dogbe, #91 - fine
TE Caleb Wilson, #84 - Gresham makes have ruined this number for me.

Thank God! Never understood keeping him and letting Darren Fells go.... All I remember Fells doing was catching everything thrown his way....and trucking a few guys before he went down.
