Curious to see if the Cardinals target any players. WR maybe?

QB (if they wanted a 3rd QB)
WR
EDGE
ILB
CB
That's probably it unless there is a surprise. I think it is possible a player better than Tune, Weaver, Fohoko, Xavier Thomas, Mykel Walker, Owen Pappoe, and KeiTrel Clark is released.

Basically the thought exercise is take the last player at every position on the roster and ask yourself if you think a significantly better player will be cut. If it's close, the Cardinals probably just stick with their player who knows the system unless the option is younger or it is a player the pro scouting department has had their eye on. Normally teams have some players they liked in the draft process who were taken by other teams, and they have kept an eye on.
In the case of Weaver, he is a 24 year old UDFA, currently WR6?, who was just called out by his coach for not catching the ball in the last preseason game. There is a non-zero chance another team cuts a guy the Cardinals view as a better player.

Unless there are other issues, if I am Monti, I am asking what the cost would be for Anthony Richardson. If it is a late round pick, I would make the move and carry three QBs. Sitting behind Kyler and Brissett while being able to focus on fundamentals is an ideal situation for a QB like AR, and in a QB starved league, they might be able to move him for a better asset in the future if they can rehab him a bit. Seems like a buy low situation and he wouldn't be the QB2 which is important for a team that wants to win this year.
Ideally you would use the DBZ fusion technique between Kyler and AR to create your QB of the future, but that is probably against league rules.

What makes you think this staff can develop QBs?
Indy has to eat $10mm in bonus trading Richardson. I like the idea though.

Yeah I don't see Indy giving up completely on Richardson just yet. They have invested too much into him.

I don't have any reason to believe they can, but I think AR would be a better gauge than Tune. To me it's just a low risk gamble with a chance to gain a decent return.

It's tough to navigate this type of an issue at the QB position. It can lead to a fractured roster very easily.

A handful of fairy tales from the story bag...
I'd take a flyer on Richardson as QB3 for a late round pick, absolutely. That's a zero-risk proposition, but no way Indy would do it.
So would I, but not on a #4 overall contract.
EDIT: the colts would actually have to eat the garanteed money

It becomes very affordable without the guaranteed money and is only a commitment through 2026 unless an option is picked up.

Niners are desperate for WR help with all of the injuries that they have. With them being higher on the waiver wire than the Cards they will probably poach any decent WR that gets cut before the Cards.

These waiver wire moves are more about scouting, IMO, than picking the biggest name.

Agree 100%. That is what I meant by decent. But as you say what one team sees as decent may differ significantly from another.
That doesn't change the fact that the Niners, and several other teams in front of the Cardinals, will have a shot at these waiver wire players before the Cardinals. The Jets and the Vikings are also looking for WR help. Rumor has it that these three teams are actively looking to trade for a WR so they might not even hit waivers.

QB needs to be the #1 target - for the practice squad. I don't think there is a worse QB than Tune that was on any roster, so any pickup will be an improvement.
Maybe a guard, maybe a speed receiver.

Smushdown! Take it like a fan!
There are worse - tune still has upside
Nothing but
An interesting nugget....
Tonga, who played on 21% of snaps last season for us, not only made the 53 in New England, but is listed as a starter.

Broncos #3 outside CB for the last two seasons, Mathis, looks to have been surplanted on the DC. He’s a potential add for the 53 if cut

I'm totally not mad at this idea. He needs a change of scenery....BADLY!
