Cardinals Initial 53

[dreamcastrocks]

Uh oh

Why wouldn't you keep the entire draft class unless there is an injury settlement or you are a SB contender?

 

[SoonerLou]

Hmm. Johnny Venerable said he heard they'll churn 8 to 10 guys the other day on PHNX. Curious how things go the next day or so.

Nah just being lighthearted on a comparison to Keim. This roster it makes more sense.

Probably heard that from Bo Brack.

I'd be shocked if we churn 8-10 guys. My line would probably be 3.5.

Where does that half-a-player line up?

 

[FB94]

With Gaines and Williams out we in theory have two more draft picks in 2024 to add to the haul we expect next draft

 

[Arz101]

Keim used to do this all the time.

Keim: "I want to look smart. So I am going to tell my LS that we will sign him in two days back to accomodate roster moves. Going to call 98.7 to market the heck out of my brilliant move"

Gumbo: "Source told me LS will be back after roster moves. What time is it, Burnsy?"

Burnsy: "KeimTime baby! We all agree Keim is a super smart guy.............."

LS
?

Hopefully Petzing has a lot of two TEs lineup play in his playbook, otherwise, the 4th, probably even the 3rd TE (especially given the quality of our TEs) is just a waste of roster spot.

 

[bankybruce]

Didn’t we do the same thing with Brewer last year figuring he won’t be claimed saving a spot for a decision tomorrow?
Good chance he will be back.

He was a FA last off season and we waited to sign him back until after he was cleared with his broken leg. We took on $250k in dead money relaesing him. He's gone.

 

[bankybruce]

Yes they did

No, he was a FA last off season. We signed him late after his leg was healthy. We signed him to a two year deal then. We took dead money on by releasing him. He's not coming back.

They are probably keeping a fourth TE until Ertz is in football shape.

 

[bankybruce]

They are probably keeping a fourth TE until Ertz is in football shape.

Let's not forget McBride was dinged up too. Keeping 4 definitely makes sense!

 

[reebokalone2001]

That makes sense. I forgot about that.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Let's not forget McBride was dinged up too. Keeping 4 definitely makes sense!

Definitely agree. I think keeping 7 OLBs will change.

 

[bankybruce]

Definitely agree. I think keeping 7 OLBs will change.

I remember reading that a team had interest in Victor Dimukeje. Could be traded for something we need.

 

[gmabel830]

Williams can come back this year. Gaines can’t.

 

[Stout]

Did we cut Elflein? Is he out injured?

 

[BritCard]

I'd be shocked if we churn 8-10 guys. My line would probably be 3.5.

Same. With Gaines out I think at least 3 and maybe 4 at a push.

The Gaines loss is tougher than it looks on paper. With the scheme they play they really want an athletic center, it's probably the main reason they drafted Gaines. Pray Fro stays healthy.

 

[Garthshort]

Changes we'll see today:
*Add a center and possibly a tackle.
*Possibly replace Demercado with a WW guy.
*Add a third QB.
*Net effect of one less DL (Stille). Might have to cut another if we add a NT from the WW.
*Down one at OLB (Victor D).
*Release two CB's (Matthew and Boyd) and add two from the WW.
*Add a safety.
*Bring Brewer back.

That's about twelve 'moves'. Does anyone know what the League average is for initial roster changes?

 

[CardNots]

I believe the plan will use the TE as a workhorse position. They will rotate them to keep ‘em fresh.

 

[WakeForestCard]

How come Garrett Williams is on the NFI list? Maybe I missed something, but I thought he was hurt while playing at Syracuse?

 

[WakeForestCard]

Pumped to see Whiteheart make it! Gives us 2 now with Dortch . Don't know if he'll survive all cuts but seems PS will be worst case scenario.

 

[Krangodnzr]

He is still recovering from ACL tear. That was the reason he was available in round 3.

I told you the town of Wake Forest is my family hometown?
