Really a no brained. He’s the move the chains back we need to keep. Now draft or sign Edmonds’ replacement.

Hey, we agree on something...haha

3 year 21 million, potential max 25.5, 13.5 guaranteed

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Yes !! LFG !!

 

[PJ1]

Really happy with this. A player who is physical and goes to battle for you. Not a bad receiver either.

 

[Stout]

Not the best contract, not the worst contract. There are pros and cons to this for me.

While I don't like the Ertz deal, at least we're getting a few things done early. The downside is we aren't improving, just treading water.

 

[Chopper0080]

Feel the same about this as I do about the Ertz deal. 7 mil per year is a top 10 contract in terms of average per year. Don't love that but we will likely be better with Conner on the roster vs a rookie RB as the starter. (this of course does not take into account what else we could have done with the money)

 

[Totally_Red]

Happy for James and elated for Cardinals. LFG!

 

[az jam]

My two top priorities were Ertz and Conner. Love it!!!!

 

[Dback Jon]

Awesome!

Really happy about this one

Pairing James Conner with a rookie draft pick at running back was always the most cost efficient solution for Arizona.

3 years=$21 million, $13.5 million guaranteed incentives to $25.5 million. Good contract.

at this point in FA, these figures are agent released, so it represents the highest it will be

in a few days, the contract gets released and the numbers tend to go down

Eno showed some things late last season too...

Everyone who is meh on the signing would’ve been crying about Keim and SOC if we hadn’t brought him back. Good signing.

Yup again not really a 3 year deal, 2 year really.

Would have preferred Chase personally of the two but considering the TD's he scored I can understand why they went this way.

We kept a RB who accounted for 18 TDs, not sure we get that from any of the RBs on the market. Without Conner the Cards likely only win 8 games last season, maybe less.

His guaranteed money is only 4.5, though. If he gets 7 per, he's earned it.

Not just the TDs, but clutch catches and tough 1st downs, too.

Yup. If someone else signs him to this deal people would be saying "Why didn't Keim do that?"

Keim does the deal and you get "Meh. Keim could have done better".
