Who are the top free agency targets for WR? I think Higgins and Godwin are already off the market, they will be resigned by their teams. Are Hollywood Brown or Darius Slayton legitimately the best two realistic options?

Bruh the list after Higgins is COOKED.

Darius Slayton (NYG) and Elijah Moore (CLE) might be the best names under 30 besides Higgins.

Actually, the best WR names under 30 on the list are Lil'Jordan Humphrey from the Broncs and Olamide Zaccheaus.

If I'm looking at WR to sign in FA, I would be looking at:
Westbrook-Ikhine
Atwell
Slayton

Atwell is a better version of Dortch. Slayton and Westbrook-Ikhine are your field stretchers.

Teams has a mandatory cash to cap ratio spend over a three year period per league rules. We have the 4th lowest ratio, mainly due to the young roster with smaller signing bonuses.

Monti has to spend money or give up draft picks as penalty

The Jags can no longer afford Christian Kirk, so I expect him to be a cap casualty. He’d be a perfect signing for the Cardinals!! Time for Kirk to come home.

Never heard of a GM say they were going to be active in free agency. We shall see who he signs. I don't know why people want to sign a WR in free agency. i would give MHJ more than one year to prove he is a legitimate WR. Our WR are young. They need time to develop.

The WR are not our problem. The problem is we have a QB who can only throw the ball 10 yards.

A couple of quotes from Ossenfort before the start of free agency last year:

""We are definitely going to be active in free agency." (https://www.nfl.com/news/cardinals-...in-free-agency-warns-of-dangers-of-overpaying)

"When you marry those two things, that if there’s an evaluation that we like and the market says the value is a place we like, we’re going to strike and we’ll be aggressive in that, knowing, ‘Hey, that’s a way we can improve our roster,’" (https://eu.azcentral.com/story/spor...be-aggressive-in-nfl-free-agency/72755808007/)

Christian at 8-10 per year plus incentives on a 2 year deal.

Jerry Jones literally does that every single year.

Happens all the time

You answered your own question. Yes, we have young WR’s that are developing. But, we need a veteran because this team is ready to win NOW. No one is questioning whether MHJ is legit. He will be a star this year. But, we need a long ball threat & that is exactly what Kirk is. When Kirk was a Cardinal, Murray was at or near the top of the league in long ball efficiency. It would take about 20 minutes for Murray & Kirk to get on the same page.
