2025 Arizona Cardinals off season thread.

[ajcardfan]

McBride getting paid. AZ re-signing a lot of their own players.

My guess is Baron Browning is one of the guys who gets a pretty good deal.

I want him back for sure. As long as the deal is "pretty good".

After a week in Indy, the growing feeling is that the Arizona Cardinals are prepared to spend BIG this offseason

Right. And I'm getting a 50 grand pay bump as a federal employee. Fiction is fun!

Exactly. As a depth rotational guy ONLY. He didn't exactly light the world on fire, but he's okay.

Imo Browning is a solid "other side" pass rusher.
With pressure across from him and some in the middle he can get you 8-10 sacks a season.
He just ain't a star ca.iber guy that's gonna rack up stats alone

The most charitable argument is that we could bring a handful of these guys to camp in Beej, Browning, and a draft pick. You play the hot hand/work matchups during the season and hope someone makes The Leap.

This 100%. Need much improvement pushing the pocket straight back first and foremost. Collapsing the middle will automatically improve our edge guys and everyone in the back end

Which is how I think the Cards and Monti go about things. We are not getting a big name pass rusher in free agency. As far as I can tell, they seem to like Browning and probably do think he can make a jump in production next year. Will he? Hell if I know. Just seems like the type of guy they will resign when the word is we are going to try and keep a lot of our free agents.

Cardinals Reveal Future of Starting OL

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Arizona Cardinals have a handful of questions to solve moving into the 2025 offseason - one of which comes at right tackle. Signed last offseason on a two-year deal worth $30 million, Jonah Williams played one quarter for Arizona before suffering a knee injury which kept him...

IMO we have not seen that yet.

I would like Browning and/or Gardeck back, but as the 3rd rusher in rotation.

I personally think Gardeck has shown much more and he definitely has from a production POV. But would be happy with either.

1/2 string A FA and/or a rookie
2/3 string BJ
3/4 string Gardeck
4/5 steing Thomas

Gardeck will be 31 when the season starts and is coming off his 2nd ACL injury. Not sure I want him back for much more than vet min with incentives.

Harris has the same play style and body type as Anquan Boldin

If Gardeck plays a major role in this teams defense...... its gonna be a bad year

Define "major role". I think we know that DG isn't going to be key to the pass rush, but personally I'm excited for his return. If only to provide a spark and some leadership. I definitely would consider myself a fan of the dude whatever that's worth.

Okay weapon but has struggled throughout his career to close the deal. This type of rusher was far more effective before the advent of highly mobile QBs. I’d re-sign him, but he needs to be part of a rush package.

Agree. Love Gardeck and what he brings, but as a role player - not as a starter.

Currently, the #AZCardinals are one of six teams in the league to have 60+ players signed to their roster according to OverTheCap. Of those teams, AZ has the highest amount of effective cap at $74.5 M (3rd overall in NFL). Next closest team has $45 M. It's go-time for Monti.

Monti has indeed removed the Cardinals from the dead money coffin.

 

[PDXChris]

Would anyone be interested in Davante Adams?

He put us in it. This is what happens when you don’t sign anyone for two years.

All day..he still has some left and would be a great mentor for MHJR

Inaccurate. Monti did not put is in the "dead money coffin". Now, he might have put us in the "did not sign any Big Johns coffin."
