We don’t have a number one or a number two. Beggers can’t be choosers. Sign him draft one at 16

that's what the draft is for. Reality is, we're not going to have a bonafide #1 this year. So best to get a solid number 2, hope for a #1 in the making in the draft and see if our pass rush can be as dynamic as people are hoping to cover for whatever the secondary is lacking.

Next stop, Hall of Fame!
Nelson and Surtain/Farley/Horn? It’s a decent start.

Let's hope it is this.
I dont know that freed up money will just cover rookie pool... They need to cut Kennard and rework CJ contract.

If you want to dream, Nelson, Horn and Murphy isn't a bad one.

Well we don’t need to trade that second rounder for Nelson some people here wanted to, let’s sign him!

Prolly be all right once we coach the Pittsburg out of him . . .
Rookie pull is already accounted for.
So the cap websites are already including salaries of those not on the roster in their figures?

that would be huge if it’s someone good. Did he say it would be happening on a Wednesday by any chance?

Richard Sherman would fit the Keim blueprint.

I'm better than Mulli!
But for it to be “big” there’d have to be an impressive cb available. Who, exactly would that be? Other Nelson there’s just a bunch of guys. That said, I’m sure in keim-speak signing butler would be “big” bc he’s a recognizable name.
Yup, since all salaries are slotted, they know the cost. They have $5.5 million in the Cardinals rookie pool.

Which Kelly?
They need 2.736M for the rookie pool. Remember that we have over the 53 total and when those players get release that cost is added back into the cap. See the link:

I really don't want to rely on a rookie CB to be CB1. Look at Okudah.
It's tough for CB's to transition, even when playing CB2.
Either way on the number, that amount is accounted for when we see the current cap numbers. Spotrac shows a different number for the pool, but they break it down differently and it appears to both show the came cap numbers.
