    Myles Garrett traded to Rams

    The Cards have their issues but I don't know this is a fair criticism. Garrett would make no sense for them given that he is over 30 and the Cards are at least 2 years away from competing. Its the same reason the Browns traded him for an up and coming player and the Rams traded for him with a...

    NFL to release regular-season schedule Thursday

    We probably won’t be favored in a game until Christmas and even that might be a toss up. I think the silver lining will be being completely out of it so early we might as well just start all our rookies. We should get a good idea whether Beck has any potential so we could use our probable top...

    OFFICIAL DRAFT 2nd DAY THREAD!!!

    Beck would have been available in the 4th round. Should have taken Dunker or Orange

    The Final Straw: Please Fire Ossenfort Now.

    You would think you could do better just throwing darts at your draftboard. The fact our draftees seem to always get hurt for extended periods def has a lot to do with this.

    Are the Cards Thinking 2027?

    The marginal difference between the two of them on grade is not very big. They’re both top five picks. Given that we signed a running back in free agency and brought back Connor there’s no way we’re gonna take Love. The choice seemingly is between Bailey/Reese or the offensive tackle. If those...

    Are the Cards Thinking 2027?

    I think you have to go Bailey or Reese at 3. They will have a much bigger impact than OT at that spot and they are rated higher than any of the OT candidates. You have to pick the best player. There are three or four right tackle candidates that will be available at the top of the second round...

    OL Matt Pryor signed

    Nah, they can get a decent right tackle at the top of Round 2. We should be looking at Bailey/Reese for #3.

    Next Big Cardinal Decision

    I wouldn't depend on him as a starter but he can still be effective playing 20% of the snaps as a rotational guy. You need 8-10 guys on the d-line and even with Nolan we have 6 right now

    Next Big Cardinal Decision

    I agree with the sentiment on the lines. I’d love to see us focus on improving the O line in free agency as I think it takes a few years before a rookie can have a big impact. If we can do that, it takes a lot of pressure off the draft. On the D line, if the reports about Nolan being ready for...

    15 thoughts - free agency

    2 – For several years it was shocking to me that many fans still thought that the salary cap has any importance at all. Now I just smile at it. It’s only important for cash poor teams like the Cardinals. The issue isn’t the salary cap per se but the fact that Bidwill doesn’t have the cash flow...

    MadCard's 2026 Cardinals Offseason Plan

    This. With Campbell and Collier FAs and Nolan maybe out for the year who is playing dline? There is no way you can cut Tomlinson and Nichols without some sort of replacement and right now anything else would be a downgrade. I like the oline fixes but ride with Brissett and find a young qb...

    The Roster Upcoming

    If you can find a good use, go for it but don’t spend it on a 1 year guy or some sub par 3rd stringer to maybe win 1 more game next year. Thats all I’m saying.

    The Roster Upcoming

    Exactly why I’d prefer to add it to the bucket for next year than try to scratch out something with it this year.

    The Roster Upcoming

    He is going to count $54M against our cap if we cut him and $52M if we keep him. If we cut him though and as you note absorb the $2M more this year, he counts 0 against the cap next year vs rolling over $5M with a post Jun 1 cut date. Just bite the bullet and do it.

    The Roster Upcoming

    I wouldn't say its great but I just think the reality of cleaning up the Kyler mess means we'll have to prioritize. I would also rather absorb the full Kyler hit this year than try to spread it out to give us maximum flexibility in 2027. If we can improve the d-line I'm all about it but my...

    The Roster Upcoming

    Assuming Nolan is indeed out for the majority of the year I don't think it makes sense to cut Nichols. Right now your D-line room is Tomlinson, Nolen (injured), Nichols, Robinson, Zak Carter, Dante Stills. That is not great and I don't think you'll find someone better than Nichols for $5.8M...

    The Roster Upcoming

    This next year pretty much feels like a redshirt year to me. Consider We are going to have a first year, first time head coach (again) and most likely a coaching staff lacking experience as well. We can hope they'll be good but reality says they will make mistakes We will be missing two of...

    Question about Kyler’s contract.

    The Jets are on the hook for $35M to Rodger’s and Fields has a $22M cap number next year as well. They have the cap space so never say never but that’s a lot of money tied up in 1 position. I think Atlanta or Minn are more likely landing spots but they have some issues as well. If I had to...

    The Case for Trading the Third Pick

    We really need to hope 1-2 players blow up the combine / pro days and become hot commodities. That is really the only way you can sell the 3rd pick for anything of value. I would trade back with Cleveland / Miami in a heartbeat for a 2nd / 3rd. I understand posters saying you need to take an...

    Dante Moore returning to college

    No, he agreed on a deal with UW, reneged when shady Lane Kiffin came calling and then under threat of a lawsuit sheepishly returned and was like I really love the UW. Total punk ass move. I would guess with Moore coming back UO would willingly release Raoila from whatever deal he signed. I...

    Enough about Qb. What about Rb?

    If Jadarian Price is available with our pick at the top of the third round I'm seriously considering it.

    Take Time to Thoroughly Consider Bain

    Maybe it’s just not obvious and 3 years from now it will be full of all pros. Just seems difficult right now to know who’s who. We need one of them to jump out through the draft process, pull a McBride and tell us “I’m him!”

    Take Time to Thoroughly Consider Bain

    This is my concern. It doesn’t seem like there is a special player at 3. After the QBs, who have their own doubts, the next few guys all seem about the same. Maybe the draft process will start to separate them but right now I don’t know why anyone would want to trade up to 3 and if we pick...

    Draft Positioning

    I’d be tempted by Nussmeier if he is there in round 2. Especially if we could trade out of 5 and get another 2nd as part of the deal.

    10 thoughts - Bengals game

    Well the Rams lost so they’ll probably rest their starters however I’m confident McVay would beat us if the cheerleaders suited up.
