2. @Cardschatter so we didn't even get an extra pick? Sounds like we got nothing except loading a player

   @DanZink_Results Guessing you are right, although probably upgraded that pick.
   
   
   

What the? How about walking down the hall to find out DU?

 

[GuernseyCard]

No kidding. That's embarassing.

 

[Mulli]

And neither Somers nor Darren Urban nor anyone else in Phoenix media or with the Cardinals for that matter will say anything about it.

I'm having a hard time understanding what we accomplished.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah...this just gets weirder and worse the further away we get from the trade

I am pretty sure BASK's excitement with Sowell starts with this moxie.

 

[Shane]

Oh dear. Should have just kept him. UNREAL!

4.2 million and they get a pick. We suck to the highest order.

 

[Darkside]

Its looking more and more like we paid Pitt to take him off our hands. That's some serious dislike for someone they thought was elite a month ago.

Tomorrow we'll find out that we gave them a lower round pick!

What would the cap implications have been if we cut Levi rather than this "trade"?

 

[earthsci]

From what I'm reading we didn't just send Levi and a pick for nothing which is how many of you are reacting. It sounds like we sent Levi and a pick and upgraded one of our picks. Maybe we should see what that is before we decide that it was a bad deal.

That isn't such a great deal. If it was, wouldn't someone with the Cardinals want to tell us?

But you don't know. I would be happy if we sent Levi and a 7th or 6th for a 4th or above.

Who wouldn't? I know the Cardinals aren't saying anything about it, so if it looks like a duck...

You are only seeing the bill. It could be a platypus.

This...

I heard the only way the Steelers could do this deal was to have the Cards take the cap hit, so Pitt is coughing up only $500k or so for Levi this season.
As for the pick, the pick we are getting from Pitt is a conditional pick, no doubt based on the number of starts Levi gets. What we don't know are the parameters of the condition - in other words, we don't know how low the pick can be...

We didn't get a 4th GUARANTEED!

There is no way to sugar coat this turd.

Do you really think there is ANY posibiltiy that we got a 4th or above in this deal?

Absolutely no way in hell that has a chance of happening and I dont care what the conditions are.

The Cardinals held a press conference and said they were excited about Bradley Sowell of all people for crying out loud.

If they were getting anything of not in return for this, they would be so over the moon they would put up billboards.

A press conference that Arians was soooo thrilled to be at.

Not only that, but it was a press conference that went so well the people at AZCardinals.com only published video of the first 5 minutes of an 8-minute presser. The local media actually asked some tough questions regarding whether Levi would have been benched had he not been traded, etc., etc.

The audio is available on iTunes, but it's worth listening to.

what were their responses to those questions?

 

[CardsFan88]

Wow. Well hopefully it's a 6th or 7th for a 5th.

 

[kerouac9]

what were their responses to those questions?

Evasive on the question of whether Levi would have played this week if he were still here. Keim and Arians weren't testifying before Congress, but they did give the "I can't respond to a hypothetical question" response.

When asked how they can sell the fans on this trade, Arians didn't say much, but Keim stepped in and referred to Arians' earlier comment that it couldn't possibly any worse. Arians added that "this is Bradley's opportunity" to show that he's an NFL starter in the NFL.

I'm a little confused about what game Arians reviewed early Levi tape on that he was so impressed with. He said twice that "The guy we saw in training camp was not the guy we evaluated from the 2011 film from New Orleans." We didn't play New Orleans in 2011 or 2010. What game would he be talking about?

Also: it's mystifying to me that you'd make your decision on a left tackle based on one game of tape. You have a wealth of material to look at--why not do some study? We apparently watched every snap from 2012 in evaluating Carson Palmer prior to the trade... wouldn't you do similar due diligence on your own roster players?
