Calais Campbell and Tyrann Mattieu says hello
Mathieu was a shell of himself at the time he left. Had he remembered this was the team that took a chance on him coming out of college he’d still be here. If I recall he took less money to go to Houston I guess based on principle.
I loved him here. Now not so much.

That being said Jones was everything you could hope for in a player. His contract should have been redone TWO years ago. He was coming off 17 sacks at 29 years old.

Cuz you guys didn't pay us to stay away. If I'm correct this will be stadium number 23 and I think it's the only team we have not see the cards play live.
It will be #23 and we haven’t seen the cardinals and Texans play live I don’t think either

I like Talib. I just wish that he talked more scheme and strategy pre-snap that I have seen in the past.

I want smart former NFL vets doing analysis as games go on. It's one of the reasons the Monday night Manning worked so well for me. That last quarter and overtime was catnip for a guy like me. Inject it into my veins!

Tyrann definitely was not good when he left here.

He was a 25 year old all pro and pro bowl safety that had a single down year.

I had no issue with them moving on from him as they had Budda coming through but it was a money based decision. Not talent.

When the media on opposing team starts saying they coach needs one of best game plans ever to win, my spidey sense starts to tingle. Bad things tend to happen when this team starts to get hyped up.

He actually had bad year after the knee injury, then the down year (2). He took less money to leave…

Not playing the hindsight game with Matthieu but Campbell should’ve been tagged and letting go of Reddick for a few mil will go down as a mistake.

They offered the player a contract coming off two surgeries. He was unhappy and left for Houston where he took less money than the Cards offered him. He left.

No. He was under contract. Keim asked him to take a pay cut and then cut him when he told him to swivel.

Re-doing a vet contract with 3 years left would be an astronomically terrible decision.
