Next stop, Hall of Fame!
Ok fine, now supplement the young guns with several mid to higher end vets to teach them a thing or two and help them reach the playoffs in '25.
Cutting Jalen Thompson could save up to $10M on the cap this season. I would be totally fine with the move and using that money to help shore up the defensive front. Budda, Rabbit, a cheap vet FA and a rookie draft pick would be fine with me at safety next season.

We have plenty of money. Male Rabbit won his PT. Maybe you get a comp pick for Thompson when his contract ends (it’s a void year so maybe that doesn’t work).

From PFF: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-all-32-nfl-teams-by-offseason-assets-2025
"Teams starting from a solid foundation with room to improve include the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. Midseason, it appeared these two teams would battle for the NFC West crown. However, the 49ers faltered down the stretch due to injuries, while the Cardinals lost all three of their second-half matchups against the Rams and Seahawks, derailing their division title aspirations.
Despite this, the Cardinals — who led the NFC West in point differential — are in a significantly better spot than they were a year ago and rank in the top 10 in offseason assets. Both teams are well-positioned to contend for the division again next season."

Signs could be pointing to OT Jonah Williams' departure
His contract and injury-riddled 2024 season could mean the Cardinals move on from the veteran tackle.

It would be amazing if Monti carries on the proud tradition of jettisoning his top free agent target from the year before.Signs could be pointing to OT Jonah Williams' departure
