Cardinals release DJ Humphries

[kerouac9]

My favorite memory of him is actually as a rookie, and seeing how much he grew into being a true team leader.

When he was a rookie Arians called him "Knee Deep" because he always needed a kick in the ass. Some of you might remember he didn't play a single snap until late in the season. Looked like a bust. When he did play in the preseason...and I will never forget this as I have never seen anyone do this before or since...he would sprint off the field to be the first at the oline bench. Not to sit on the bench, but to sit on the front seat of the injury cart right in front of the fan.

Hump didn’t play a down his rookie season. Last active Cardinal to play in an NFC Championship game.

I thought he finally got out there on the FG team. I could be wrong.

He never even got a hat.

Ya, how did that work out?

He was inactive the whole year, according to PFR.

I figured it would happen, but I hoped they would find a way to keep him on a restructured to see what he might gent at the end of the season and let him rehab with the team.

So 9 millionish more in cap space. Let's see them use it.

I know Tyron Smith is probably older than Monti wants, but it's worth asking how much he wants for 2 years (you can structure it as 4 or 5 but make it 2 in reality).

Or, how about Jonah Williams? Lol

Isn’t Joe Burrow always taking a beating because his O-line is terrible pass blocking? Or did that change over the last couple years (hoping it did).

OL play is the culmination of the work of five players. Williams is comparable to Humphries in quality.

Perhaps best news of FA for Cards. Absolute waste of money Hump was.. this was an awful Kiem extension. Fanboys dump on me.. but it’s the truth to everyone aside from you!

Burrow will take a beating w any Oline. Holds on to the ball foreveeeeeer.. been his knock - even in college. Check any analysis of him and it’s one of, if not the 1st knock on him

 

[Mulli]

Average.

Bengal fan neighbor says he is better as an RT bad as LT

Lol. Okay.

There's a reason that a 26 year old former top 15 pick with 59 career starts and has not missed a snap in three straight years was sitting out in free agency and took this deal.

I assume the plan is to move Paris to LT unless we draft one in the first round.

Yeah he sat around for weeks and Keim is telling us this guy is a stud...oh wait.

 

[kerouac9]

I think the actual plan is more likely to draft an LT and start him potentially at LG this season before popping him outside.

I think it's more likely we trade up from 27. Williams signs a cheap, short-term deal with the hope the re-establishes himself as an LT and re-enters the market at 28 with some nice tape at LT.

There's a possibility he had already talked to Cards but nothing could/would be done until DJ was resolved. They had to agree to an injury settlement with him and could officially release him until today.

What a weird non-sequitur this is.

Another total non-sequitur. Why in the world would this matter in this context?

It matters just as much as the innuendo you are pushing.
