OT: Free agency. 2026

[SunsTzu]

Man, there’s always an excuse why the Cards can’t compete and shouldn’t try

Really is an impressive business model Bidwill has pulled off.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Why do people keep talking about 5-7 wins with Jacoby?

A great question. This team has 3-14 written all over it again.

 

[Chopper0080]

Why would you eat a large part of a contract for a six round pick swap?

Why not unless you prefer to keep the money.

 

[Chopper0080]

Dude threw over 200 yards twice and averaged 172 yards per game. They rode a decent defense and Bijan Robinson.

And I've not heard you advocate for signing Cousins once.

I sure have advocated for Kirk. And you asked what available QB could result in 7-9 wins...I gave you the answer.

I really think you have to try or have something catastrophic happen to not win five games in today’s NFl.

Only five teams last year won fewer than five games:

TEN - coaching incompetence
ARI - injuries, coaching incompetence
NYG - injuries, coaching incompetence
NYJ - not trying
LVR - coaching incompetence

If the Cards have average injury luck and semi-competent coaching, we should expect 5-7 wins.

 

[Chopper0080]

Vegas kept all the money and the trade was a 20 place pick swap.

Why would either of us care about anything more than getting a better draft pick?

But some will tell you that to be a true fan, you have to keep shoveling your money to Bidwill for season tickets

Houston signed Braden Smith. 2Y, 25M, 13.5 guaranteed. Good thing we’re set at o-line.

If the Cards had average luck and semi-competent coaching, they would have won 5 games by the 6th week of the season last year

Maybe he said - Texans or the Cardinals - if the money was close, what would you pick?

No doubt!

The JG coaching staff lost at least 3-4 games last year for us.

It’s one thing I think MLF will actually be very good at is closing out for sure wins.

I just don’t know how many of those there will be.

 

[Dan H]

Texas has higher property taxes but no state income tax. I’d probably lean Texas just out of financial considerations even if Houston wasn’t in a better place.

To be fair, all these Shanahan/McVay dudes are notoriously bad at managing late-game situations. Like all of them.

Fortunately MLF has a strategic wizard in Nate Hackett to lean on.

Free Agency is going great.

Highest points win, right?

 

[PDXChris]

Houston signed Braden Smith. 2Y, 25M, 13.5 guaranteed. Good thing we’re set at o-line.

I thought we didn't want oft injured players?

Isaac Seumalo - 7 games missed in 4 years = oft injured according to some
Braden Smith - 17 games missed in 4 years = should have singed him.

You all confuse me. I'd rather draft a RT. Remember how Jonah Williams turned out.

I think they will look to move on form Purdy as soon as the contract allows and then stick with Jones.

We are going into the season with Brissett and Minshew as our QBs. If that isn’t the definition of trying to be terrible I don’t know what is.

The underbelly cheese the underbelly….. follow along

This def feels like the 2003 offseason all over again. I’m just waiting for us to trade out of the pick with a pass rusher staring us in the face again like we did with Suggs to get more Calvin Pace/Skillet Hands of the world.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Houston signed Braden Smith. 2Y, 25M, 13.5 guaranteed. Good thing we’re set at o-line.

We signed a 32 year old OG for more money.
But we have Gardner Minshew. We out-bidded everyone for him

I get drafting a RT but not with the 3rd pick in the draft. And that's what Monti is going to do.

 

[Card'em]

The talking heads on NFL network indicated that Cousins wants $10MM plus to sign, and he's willing to wait it out. He won't be available until tomorrow, but I'd take him on a one or even two year contract over Brissett. I need some hope for this season.

He's proven that he can be a winning QB, which is something Brissett hasn't done.
