53-man roster projections for Cardinals after preseason opener
With one preseason game in the books, we project the 53-man roster for the Cardinals.
Kind of. I think there are some position groups on this roster where it doesn't make a ton of sense keeping many guys. You could put Demercado on the PS and are fine if someone grabs him. Same with Arias. Do we keep more than three TE?We always heard Keim talk about churning the bottom 5 of the roster...I'd bet Monti will be churning the bottom 15 and will definitely be taking advantage of the waiver wire position, at least through week 4.

My hope is Monti will value continuity more than Keim did. There are players who are worth churning but releasing young guys under contract should be a last resort.
This the #1 position I expect Monti to be active in, with the waiver wire...or finally bringing in one of the high-priced vets on a 1 year prove it deal.Looking at our RB room, I don't know why we would keep more than three on the 53 man roster.
Tackles>Guards=Jones>Hayes
Also, pretty sure Hamilton makes the 53.
Old.Why would we not bring Pugh back? LG looks to be big hole and he would be cheap and serviceable.
Jones is a much better player than Hayes. I don’t think Hayes makes the team if he keeps playing like he did against Denver.
Washed. It would be a Same Old Cards move.Why would we not bring Pugh back? LG looks to be big hole and he would be cheap and serviceable.
Agree on Arias making the team. He gives them something Wilson and Pascal don't have...length and long speed.
Agreed. There's a reason Pugh isn't on another roster. IMO, he's to that point where he's either playing for the Cards or he's not playing at all.Washed. It would be a Same Old Cards move.
I disagree that Hayes had any worse of a game than Jones. They played against similar competition and Jones has a lot more experience which I would cite is more disappointing.Jones is a much better player than Hayes. I don’t think Hayes makes the team if he keeps playing like he did against Denver.
Mmm. I just wouldn't make many definitive judgements regarding the offensive line after the first pre-season game. Again, they haven't been able to hit much due to rules which is big for offensive linemen, they have multiple new players, and they have a new scheme. Game three should be a better indicator IMO.Our LG might play better once Hump plays.
Exactly. Not in a million years would we bring back Pugh. He’s not exactly the type of player that MOJG are looking for. It’s been a few years since Pugh actually wanted to play football. You better LOVE football or you won’t be on the 2023 roster.Washed. It would be a Same Old Cards move.
Because he doesn't want to be here???Why would we not bring Pugh back? LG looks to be big hole and he would be cheap and serviceable.
