I mean, if we're able to re-sign Allen/Murphy, and rebuild our defensive/offensive lines in the same offseason, I'll be pleased as punch!

I think we're going to draft a lot of offensive linemen and throw them all on the field right away. Sink or swim style. Let em learn from their mistakes, use the game film to help teach technique

Sign three different back up QBs for the season because it's going to be ugly

Then after the season, after Kyler is back to 100% mobility, draft even more linemen and sign a couple in free agency

 

[NMCard]

I was hoping Gannon would bring Brian Johnson as his OC

Bradberry will be the pricey signing:

Alexander Mattison

Everyone else on my list is an older player who can be had for a reasonable price.

Remember the market value is the average per year and a lot of the costs can be back loaded into 2025 and 2026 so that the cap hit for 2023 is much less.

Yea, we shouldn’t be signing anyone over the age of 31.

Mattison is going to get a huge starting deal somewhere, IMO. I don't see him as an option.

 

[football karma]

unless its a summer, vet minimum deal to add depth or a short term patch

no big $ commits to players who will be 30+ in 2024

Hopefully the days of Brian Billick calling Cardinal games are over. "Rich Gannon as the coach.. memories of future hall of fame wide receiver Larry Johnson.. and great defensive plays by former Cardinal standout Antron Rolle."

Don’t forget Karlos Dansberry!!!

 

[MadCardDisease]

Mattison is going to get a huge starting deal somewhere, IMO. I don't see him as an option.

The Free Agent RB class is stacked this year. Not to mention this year has a very deep Rookie RB class. Teams are not going to spend big money on Mattison this year.

Meh. Eagles fans didn’t want Sirianni back either.

There were no calls for Siriani to be fired after one year.

 

[Syracusecards]

Well, at least we don't have to worry about Gannon becoming entangled with and distracted by the likes of KK's girlfriend....




Also, I love his intensity. Hopefully, that will carry over to the players.

I was being a smarta** about the video cutting out on him, wasn’t serious.

 

[QuebecCard]

Looks great! How will we pay for it?

CARDS: 48 under contract: Cap space: $13,587,247

Anderson (cut): $12m
DHop (restructure): $9.1m (trade: $8.1m)
Baker (restructure): $6.8m
Ertz (restructure): $3.8m
Hump (restructure): $2.8m
Connor (restructure): $2.5m

Cap space: $50,007,926

Additionally, a new deal for Hollywood will reduce his $13.4 cap hit.

All kinds of ways to create Cap space.

It's all in the structure.

No worries, I wasn't commenting on your sense of humor, but the contrast between him and Kliff was striking.

If I had the time to photo shop, I would take Gannon's head and put it on one of those shots of Kliff chilling in his sweet home.

The Free Agent RB class is stacked this year. Not to mention this year has a very deep Rookie RB class. Teams are not going to spend big money on Mattison this year.

Mattison is only 24, has very little wear and tear on him, and looks great on film. Josh Jacobs and Saquon probably aren't going anywhere. Pollard and Penny are majorly hurt. Kareem Hunt is old.

Mattison's not gonna play anywhere he won't be the starter.

 

[kerouac9]

It’s pretty lazy to look at they guys’ old teams and decide we need their free agents.

When the Hawks signed Pete Carroll, many here were like, “He gonna sign all the Trojans Durr durr” and he didn’t sign any of them.

It’s probably a bad sign if your front office thinks that the best guys available are the ones they already knew. Bring in the camp fodder if you need someone familiar.
