Potential Arizona Cardinals’ Cap Casualties in 2022
Five Cardinals entering their final contact year possibly on chopping block

U can find same production with 1/10 of the investmentTwo really bad contracts - Jordan Philips and Devon Kennard. I am not just talking about production - you really don't save much at all by getting rid of them. Kudos to their agents.
Humphries seemed slow after coming back from COVID. Since we have no clue how bad he had it, it's realistic to think his performance in the final few games was impacted by that.Can’t picture cutting Humphries. He was decent most of the year. would redo and extend his contract to get cap space. I’d cut Pugh, Hicks, Isabella and D Thompson. If I desperately needed cash I’d cut Denard and maybe even Prater. Cutting Phillips makes no sense, way upside down. He likely would be cut next year, so I’d hope he’d be motivated to play for another big payday. That‘s how he got here.
Agree. He’s only 28 too and tackles can play well into their 30s so he still has 5-6 prime years left.Humphries seemed slow after coming back from COVID. Since we have no clue how bad he had it, it's realistic to think his performance in the final few games was impacted by that.
Redo the contact. Finding an average LT is not all that easy.
Doesn’t matter. This offense needs a MAJOR facelift. We might be the slowest offense in the league.Whether Hicks will be gone heavily depends on if VJ gets canned or left for another job. If VJ is retained, no way Hick will get cut.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Kyler needs a 20 yard pocket with the way he snaps from the gun and then runs backwards. He makes Hump look bad because he’s asking the impossible. If Kyler would grow a pair and step up in the pocket, Hump would be more than adequate.Can’t picture cutting Humphries.

I moderately disagree. Chiefs have only two weapons: Hill and Kelce. 49ers are the same: Samuel and Kittle. Bills have Diggs and a group of possession receivers: An aging Emmanuel Sander, a short route expert Cole Beasley, and a one-game wonder Gabriel Davis. Rams have Kupp and others. I don't anyone scared of Robert Woods, Tyler Higbee, and/or now OBJ. Bengals have Chase and Higgins. I believe the Cardinals have enough weapons when DHop is healthy. Ertz is still good (you can tell by often he gets open) but either KK did not really incorporate him in the offense or Kyler did not like throwing to him/can't see him. Green, Kirk, and Moore are OK as possession receivers. Can they be upgraded? Sure, but they are not our kryptonite.After watching the Bills and Chiefs you can really see how and why this offense was so bad.
Who scares you on this offense? Hopkins? Okay. Who else? Kirk? Green? Don’t make me laugh. Ertz? Honestly I don’t think he’d start on the remaining playoff teams. The O-line? Har har hardy har har.
We can’t fix this entire team. We have to give Murray and Kingsbury weapons and an offensive line and say “ go out score them!”
Right now we can’t win with this defense and we can’t win with this offense. Fix one and do it right and dynamically.
In todays game we are not stopping teams like he Chiefs, Bengals, Bills and Rams no matter what we do to fix the defense.
Since Kingsbury and Kyler aren’t going anywhere then we have to load up on offense and hope our offensive genius coach and “ pro bowl” Qb can put it all together. We need to take away any excuses for failure. Our goal should be scoring 30 points a game and hope for the best.
Kyler is our Qb. He’s either gets better or he don’t. So here my way of thinking.I moderately disagree. Chiefs have only two weapons: Hill and Kelce. 49ers are the same: Samuel and Kittle.

Oline is a completely different story and I am totally on the same page as you are that is why I am completely on the "Keim has to go" team.
TBH, I have no easy fix for our offense because the biggest difference I saw between us and Chiefs/Bills is the QB play, but I don't know if Kyler can grow to become an Allen/Mahomes level QB. We can throw all the weapons and Oline as we can get to Kyler, it will be up to Kyler to make good use of them. Cowboys model is the typical example of good weapons + good Oline + poor QB play.
I would put our offensive talent against Buffalo any day and say the difference is the QB. One guys plays like a star and the other plays like he needs perfect circumstances. Just a huge gap in terms of performance in big games from the QB. Murray has been past and will need to show more to even get back in the convo. Before anyone brings Kliff into this please remember that Josh Allen found Jordan Palmer on his own. Brian Daboll had nothing to do with it.
Other than Hopkins who strikes fear into the hearts of our opponents? The Bills offensive line makes ours look like pop Warner. Even a guy like Gabriel Davis averaged 17 yards a catch with 7 tds.I would put our offensive talent against Buffalo any day and say the difference is the QB.

The difference between Buffalo’s offensive talent & ours is speed & quickness. If/when Kirk leaves, Rondale will be the only one with that type of speed. Don’t think Ertz should be resigned either.I would put our offensive talent against Buffalo any day and say the difference is the QB.

That is EXACTLY his problem. Unless it's an all-out jail break, a QB shouldn't be rolling out--that only deepens you in the pocket, takes your eyes away from your receivers, and often leads to crushing sacks. Edge pressure means a QB should step up into the pocket. Will he ever learn this?Answer this
Would you rather have Hump at LT and keep Justin Murray or Garcia at RG or...
Have Brandon Scherff at RG and Beachum at LT and Jones at RT?
I would rather have option 2. Because Kyler can handle edge pressure pretty well. He's always so deep he can see it coming and roll out. But he's absolutely garbage at handling interior pressure.
I wouldn't normally suggest this for any other QB, or if we had a LT I was actually confident in. But there isn't much difference off between Hump and Beachum frankly and it suits Kyler more to have a solid interior.
