Meanwhile, we're blowing it all up with our QB on the last reasonable year of his deal. It'll be fun building around that 50M cap hit next year!

Rodney Hudson = gone

As well as having been an All Pro. This is the definition of high risk-high reward, as I mentioned.



Have you look at the depth chart, recently? Bud Depree would be the best edge rusher immediately.

Did you read what I wrote about Jones? He's cooked my man.

Just because Dupree would be better doesn't mean you add him. He's had significant injuries. And really only one good season. He's just a name at this point.

I hope they do… he sucks now. Slow as molasses too.

I hope they do… he sucks now. Slow as molasses too.

Agreed..this would be almost as bad as the Cards signing Emmitt Smith.

He is still a decent short yardage guy, but that's about it. He would seem to be a serious downgrade to Penny, even with Penny's injuries.

Likely worse… Zeke was a measley 3.8 per last year despite the TD #s

If you need 1 yard he will get you 2.

If you need 4 yards he will get you 2.

Ok Wolfley! lol

Surprised they freed cap space but have not been very aggressive!

Are they trying to free up as much cap space as possible to be in a position to restructure Kyler’s deal to take a bigger cap hit on that this year, freeing up some space next year?

Real 2021-2022 James Conner energy here.

Out of Dupree, Jack and Clowney, who you going with?

I would say probably Dupree, ROC. Clowney could without a doubt have been dominating, but he has never really been that, I think, and it seems too late now. He could be a good complement to someone, though. In many ways I think that Dupree and Clowney are the same type of player, only that Dupree has been very good over a longer time (in a row). I would not mind for example Anderson with Dupree or Clowney on the other side. Right now, though, both would step right into being the best edge rusher on the team (which is a problem).

I am not that big on Myles Jack, and I also think that he would more be a part of the off ball linebacker-group than the edge rushing-group.

Who would you like them to sign, ROC?

you can accomplish that by carrying unused 2023 cap space into 2024

(disclaimer: while there is much to cap management i get, i am not 100% on rules / limitations on the carry forward concept -- i just know it happens)

and oh-man: are we in for a long season if we watch $20mm of unused cap space just sit there

Real 2021-2022 James Conner energy here.

I understand the Conner criticism and we do need to add more speed at RB but to be fair to him he did run for 4.3 YPA last year. Considering how many injuries we had on the O line he squeezed what he could out of very little.

 

[BritCard]

Out of Dupree, Jack and Clowney, who you going with?

None. I'd rather role with Sanders and Thomas and draft someone else.

The age of playing tired old vets over day 2 draft picks needs to end.

 

[Gandhi]

Just because Dupree would be better doesn't mean you add him. He's had significant injuries. And really only one good season. He's just a name at this point.

What? Being better than others is not a good enough characteristic for a player? I don't really understand. I would like that the Cards have the best possible players.
