O Lineman Evan Brown released

[jf-08]

With Three Linemen In, Cardinals Move On From Evan Brown

Brown had been scheduled to make $4.2 million in salary this season; his release means a $1.5M dead cap hit in 2026.

As it stands, the Cardinals will plug another newcomer, Isaac Seumalo, into Brown's starting left guard role. The right guard for now figures to be Isaiah Adams, although Pryor has experience. Wilkinson could start at right tackle -- he did in Atlanta last season all season -- but there could be a draft pick there as well. Wilkinson played in 10 games for the Cardinals in 2023, starting nine at left guard.

Thanks Monti

Adams mega sucks and was over drafted by at least a round. Any plan that includes him starting is nonsense

Monti clearing the path for his draft picks to play.

Another of his free agent signings bites the dust.

What’s crazy was this was his second contract with us! Monti re-signed him 11 months ago.

Monti's just not good at free agency. Also very mediocre at drafting. Combination of mediocre drafts and poor free agency decisions has limited roster development. After 3+ years we still have no better than a middle of the pack roster.

But he’s killing trades . . . right?!? Right?

Arizona Cardinals

I actually kind of liked a few of Arizona's free-agent additions, including OG Isaac Seumalo and RB Tyler Allgeier, but it’s hard to ignore the big picture. The Cardinals still have a lot to sort out. The offensive line remains unfinished, I believe, despite adding a few journeyman tackles. The defensive front still needs reinforcements, even after all the picks they’ve allocated there in the past few years. And yes, quarterback remains a mystery. Right now, it’s Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew and who knows? If a draft QB such as Alabama's Ty Simpson tempts them, the Cardinals might have to pull the trigger. Waiting until 2027 to solve that problem could guarantee another last-place finish, but then again, it might take a miracle to avoid the basement in the loaded NFC West anyway.

I still think we have a "middle of the pack" roster, but without a starting QB. My guess is that we win 5-7 games next year, and with a better QB we'd probably win 7-9 games. We will see. Remember last year when everyone thought Seattle would finish behind San Francisco and L.A. The NFL media's groupthink doesn't always get it right.
