Didn't cost much so not a big deal. They may be able to squeeze something out of him for a year. Lord knows they need LB's.

I like the fact that we’re doing something. Better players will be available as the year rolls on. Like it or not we are building the roster from the bottom / middle up and not sitting on our hands waiting to see if we can get player X for a cheaper price and then watch them sign somewhere else.

Maybe at the end of next season the Cards will wish they had signed him to a two year deal at this price.....?

This more than likely spells the end of the Junkyard Dog Golden’s days in Zona.

He's a part time/depth guy at this point. Not a bad veteran to have around but not someone you want starting a ton of games.

It's, from what I've read, that Golden places are different value on his services than the Cards would be prepared to pay at this point. I imagine they'll suggest he test the market and perhaps then there's something to be done.

Speaks to a likely BOSA - CHANDLER tandem with REED as the primary backup.

Some have said it, but Keim is trying to build a deep roster and is spending on FA vets that he feels he can get below market rate. We are adding bodies for young players to have to beat out vs forcing guys into action before they are ready. Essentially trying to find some Josh Bynes type players.

Possibly, but I imagine it's more that Mayowa is going to move on to another 4-3 team.

If you're planning on Brooks Reed playing 65%+ of your defensive snaps, you're not planning on having a good defense.

I dont know. If you moved him around and had another Rusher (Bosa) on the field at the same time, I think it could work.

Well, if you have Bosa and Chandler Jones, you're probably only using Reed on 30% of the snaps, anyway.

You could take out one of the ILBs and use Reed there.

I do agree that if he is the every down starter, this defense will suck...but honestly, how much worse than Golden is he?

Depth matters. Assume you're several players deep at a position, take your eyes off the ball and watch a rash injuries reduce your depth to Jello. Happens every year.[/QUOTE]

Can’t see Golden on the team next year, especially if he thinks he a valued commodity. He’s a guy who needs to be on an incentive laden contract.
