the only issue I see is someone might see reddicks sack number and make an emotional offer that we will not match. I believe Golden has no interest in leaving. I believe CJ can still play and wants to be here. Gardeck of course will stay. The only ? is Reddick and if someone wants to pay him way too much, they can have him. I know he is at his proper position now and improving but he would have to be paid as getting better for me to keep up vs being paid as one of the best.
I think someone will over pay Reddick; and I say this as a proponent of Reddick. I first noticed Reddick while he played for Temple, was thrilled with his selection by the Cardinals and watched dismayed as the Cardinals played him out of position for almost three years!! I hope the Cards can make it work to keep him, but I wouldn't want them to overpay him to do so. I also agree with the comments that Chandler Jones will continue to be effective through the term of his current contract. Keep Jones, Reddick, Golden, Gardeck. Jettison Kennard, who's season was a major disappointment; seems he didn't put in the work to keep the nice deal he got from the Cardinals. Perhaps he is too distracted by pursuit of his real estate investment career. "Not that there's anything wrong with that. . ."
How do we have the 5th most sacks but 21st pass rush? I know they don't directly correlate but I wouldn't expect such a big difference.
Pass rushers of CJ ability can stay good until the age of 36 or 37. He still has many years left imo. I'd rather keep him & Reddick. Draft an outside rusher that can study under CJ until his next 4 year deal is done & he retires.
