    Cardinals Sign Second-Round Pick Chase Bisontis

    The difficulty with teams signing 2nd round picks started last season when the Texans gave pick #34, Jayden Higgins, a fully guaranteed contract, and the Browns followed suit with #33 Carson Schwesinger. Then other agents near the top of the 2nd round started holding out for the same...

    What is an acceptable 2026 season?

    Agree 100% - but I think that in reality, if MLF and Co show out as competitive but fail to pull off a miracle winning season, Monti will be retained. Heck, even if the team is NOT competitive, performing even worse than expected based on the talent level and schedule difficulty, it's hard to...

    “Who would stop this Cardinals offense?”

    Nice post - thanks for bringing these facts to the discussion! I never advocated for deliberately restricting Love's workload - I said I don't see the point of "running him into the ground" or giving him an arbitrary 75% of the workload "just because". I keep using Jahmyr Gibbs' rookie season...

    “Who would stop this Cardinals offense?”

    Again, this is in the context of Love following Gibbs' career trajectory. The Lions went to the playoffs in 2023 with Gibbs producing 47.5% of the scrimmage yards from their RB crew, which produced the 5th most rushing yards in the league. They won three fewer games and missed the playoffs in...

    Its the offseason - Rumor: Aaron Rodgers wants to play for AZ?

    0.1% chance Rodgers will play for the Cardinals. 0.0% chance he'll wear #8.

    “Who would stop this Cardinals offense?”

    What difference does it make if the Cards get 47.5% of scrimmage yards from Love, 42.5% from Allgeier, and 10% from Conner/Benson, similar to the Lions with Gibbs, Montgomery et al. when they went 12-5 in 2023; or if they hit your magic range with 66.5% from Love, 32.8% from Allgeier, and 0.7%...

    Its the offseason - Rumor: Aaron Rodgers wants to play for AZ?

    He's showing about as much confidence in the current Cardinals' QB corps as the rest of us!

    2026 Arizona Off Season Thread

    Haha yeah I listened without watching, and since he called Larry "my kid" and it sounded like something Larry Sr. would say, I posted without double checking. Thanks for the correction! :lol:

    “Who would stop this Cardinals offense?”

    If Love has a season like Jahmyr Gibbs' rookie season while sharing the workload with Allgeier et al., and shows the same kind of promise and ability that Gibbs showed in his rookie season when he put up 945 rushing and 316 receiving yards and 11 TDs, I'll be pretty satisfied. Gibbs was 17th in...

    2026 Arizona Off Season Thread

    WTF is [edit:] Cris Carter going on about, saying "I'm gonna tell you something that you've never heard before about the Arizona Cardinals". Literally EVERYONE who even casually follows the Cardinals closely enough to know Bidwill's name knows that he sucks! Wow, what a scoop! :rolleyes...

    2026 5th round pick is Reggie Virgil WR

    John Brown ran a 4.34 and was instrumental in winning a few games back in the day.

    Its the offseason - Rumor: Aaron Rodgers wants to play for AZ?

    I think Beck would learn a lot more by watching a less physically gifted QB like Brissett who has made a career for himself through his study habits, interactions with teammates e.g. texting Wilson about how to exploit things he saw on film, and hard work, and who has learned multiple offenses -...

    Why JG and DP were fired

    Infinite :rolleyes:. Do you think other teams don't have eyes and based Murray's value on a nebulous decision by Cardinals coaching or front office staff, rather than on the years of film and evidence that's readily available? No one wanted to give up draft assets for Murray given his...

    Monti's Draft Grades 2026

    Oof... and now, Austin Mock of The Athletic has posted his 2026 NFL Draft Grades. The only consolation for the Cardinals is that he rated the other NFC West teams' drafts poorly also.

    The running back room

    Holy cow, @kerouac9 has just proven that Brissett is only 12 games worse than the reigning league MVP and Super Bowl winning QBs! Not bad! :thewave: And if you take away his time with the Cardinals - from which, really, everyone should be absolved - he's only 2 games back!

    So do we start Beck?

    By no means do I support the claim that the Cardinals were "a playoff caliber team" were it not for their extreme number of injuries... but two of your examples suffered just as big or bigger drop-off from the year before as the Cardinals: Cardinals 2024: 8 wins; 2025: 3 wins; difference...

    The running back room

    Conner's going to get $4.35M for a likely light workload. I don't see why he'd be upset. Allgeier is going to get $8.1M for the next two years regardless of how much he's used - BUT, according to OTC, his contract has an additional $4M of incentives which I'd assume he's now much less likely...

    If the Cardinals select Jeremiyah Love with the 3rd pick, I will be.....

    I agree with everyone who has made this point... but in the grand scheme of things, if they don't get full value from $13M of a $300M cap (<5%), it's no biggie. It's not in the same realm as blowing $46M (>15%) on a QB who chokes in every game that matters. If the Cardinals were trying to eke...
