Is Kyler's contract even tradeable?

[JosiahLee]

I know there's been a lot of chatter about if the Cards should take Caleb Williams if they get the #1 pick next year. My question is, with his hefty contract, would the Cards actually have any trade partners? Feels like if other teams know they would be selecting Caleb Williams and with K1's huge contract, there might not be a great trade package for him?

Also, if they get #1 and #2 in the draft, do you let Hollywood Brown walk and just take Marvin Harrison Jr? It wasn't a great trade by Keim considering we got him with only two years on his deal. Doesn't seem like this regime is going to break the bank for a WR that is not exactly a WR1.

Good questions

Unless we’re gonna keep running the ball down by 10+, Hollywood is gonna get 150 targets, 115 catches and 1200+ yards next year (2 TDs).

Kyler’s contract isn’t tradeable until after 2024, probably. If you draft a top QB, you’d be wasting the first year of his rookie deal accounting for dumping Kyler.

48 more weeks of debate between trading Kyler or trading the #1 pick to build around him. Nobody will have the answer until the time comes and we have more information.

Hollywood might get 150 targets but he isn't getting 115 catches - not with our QBs and O-line

I honestly don't think Monti and Michael think Kyler will be the QB much longer despite what they will say publicly this season. The QB draft options in 24 are likely too good to ignore if they have a high draft pick.(they will, and perhaps two top 5 picks)

They couldn’t make a roster out of the remaining cap if they traded Murray. Then they would get sanctioned.

If we keep Kyler I'm sure we will extend Hollywood. I would doubt the opposite is true.

Arizona is already not afraid to take dead money cap hits and 1 more year to flush out the old regime oughta do it.

Been some conflicting information in regards to his contract, the latest being a $46 mil cap hit next year and $6 in cap savings if we trade him next offseason. Doesn’t seem absolutely terrible, compared to $81 million floated before. Of course that's not counting the savings of having a QB on a rookie contract.

If we have the 1/2 we definitely gotta get a QB/MHJ, or if somehow we know like the #3 needs/wants the 2nd QB we can trade down a spot if we want that gamble. But MHJ would be monumental in whatever QB we ultimately decide to roll with.

@Chopper posted the numbers for a cap hit on here that blew my mind. I was amazed at the low figures. I have no knowledge but just going by what he posted.

I can't help cry laughing remembering all the smug "You don't understand, we have to give Kyler this contract" nonsense. Hindsight is 20/20 but foresight is much better.
