The Cards still have major holes. They also are tight against the cap. They reworked several contracts, but I find it most telling they didn’t redo Humphries’ contract. Clearly they could have used the money. To say the least they must be unsure if he’s their tackle long term. In fact, that decision may have already been made. Assuming that to be the case, I have to wonder if an early OT should be added to the Cards’ draft shopping list. Could they even be considering trading Humphries? Humphries is certainly coming off a down year, but is young enough to have many useful years left for someone. A team looking more at potential than recent history, could have an interest. It’s true that his last extension was just prior to free agency, but waiting until the last minute is a dangerous assumption that the future will simply be a continuation of the past. If the Cards truly wanted him, it would seem they had the perfect opportunity to show it. If you’re wondering about the 2023 draft, it’s likely one of the biggest for QBs and above average for OTs. So if the Cards are looking to make a move, the future prospects would seem to line up for an OT or even a QB.
