Zaven Collins: What to do

[Goldfield]

I thought he was better at MLB last year. But I did want to see if he could play Edge. He can’t.

 

[QuebecCard]

Team him up with Kazir next season.

 

[Chopper0080]

He can't play inside either.

I don't mind Zaven playing Baseball next year

 

[Chopper0080]

I think Zaven has actually been backup worthy at EDGE this year. I feel he is better suited outside than inside. His mistakes impact the defense less.

Not much value here, maybe a 4-3 team can gamble on him throwing a 7th round pick

I'll stick with the bag of chips. More satisfying for me as a fan

GM Monti Ossenfort told us today they have decided NOT to pick up LB Zaven Collins' 5th-year option.

This is an amazing post.

Post of the year!!

Steve Keim did nothing for this franchise

Another swing and miss by Kiem on a first round pick.

 

[CardNots]

Call you mom, dad, aunts and uncles and tell them Cardinals need another starter on their DL for 2024.

It’s not a miss; he played a bunch of snaps. He just isn’t worth anywhere near the fifth year option number.

He’s likely blocking Darius Robinson; it’ll be interesting to see if they seek a bargain-basement trade.

I’ll be surprised if he makes the opening day roster.

Shoutout Steve Keim. 0/2 on first round ILB in consecutive drafts

I can’t imagine being obsessed with finding the next Daryl Washington/recreating the Dansby-Washington backfield. 0/3 if you count Bucannon.

Just awful.

There’s no reason for him not to be on the roster.

He stinks?

 

[az jam]

The cap hit this year is $4.6 million if we keep him or cut him. However, the 5th year option would costs us $13 million. (per Spotrac)

We’ll see how he plays. I’m the same on him at this point as I was on Reddick.

Yeah, nah. Disagree. Snaps played doesn't demonstrate ROI for being a first round pick. He was drafted 16th overall and hasn't lived up to expectations.

 

[Germz249]

Trade him..

The options weren’t great when we picked Zaven but some of the studs we passed on for Simmons will sting for a while.

Just awful.

Both of those players are in my top 5 all time Cards players. I get the obsession.
