    Week 2 of the Arizona Cardinals off-season. 01/15/24-01/21/24

    The Cards have NEVER lost a home playoff game!

    I Wonder

    On this topic, The Athletic had an article this morning entitled, "Ranking the 18 NFL teams that missed the playoffs: Who could get back in 2024?". I started to post this ranking as an argument to why the Cardinals are unlikely to make the playoffs even if everything goes well in the off-season...

    Close, but the Eagles lost to the Buccaneers 32-9, not 34-11.

    I Wonder

    Probably no need to move to #2, with two top-tier QB prospects in the draft. I recently posted this in another thread: According to the Draftek trade value chart, the difference in value between #4 and #3 is 400 points, so exactly equivalent to the Cards' two lower 3rd-round picks.

    Week 2 of the Arizona Cardinals off-season. 01/15/24-01/21/24

    Eh, he didn't even talk to the media in that article. SI made a story out of an optimistic post Carter made on his X page, plus an earlier answer Gannon gave in response to a question about Carter at a press conference a couple weeks ago. More like, "man SI loves making fluff articles from...

    Ossenfort and Free Agency

    Kirk had slightly more catches and yards per game.

    Round One Conundrums

    This presents another conundrum: should Ossenfort spend on a top FA RT, not knowing whether MHJ will be available in the draft? If the Cards get a high priced FA RT, then MHJ is gone at #4, drafting one of the top OTs seems like a highly inefficient use of assets. But if Ossenfort passes on...

    Some Mock Draft Observations

    It's a legitimate concern for the Pats and a way for the Cards to call their bluff... but it's definitely high stakes poker!

    Ossenfort and Free Agency

    Well, if they inexplicably sign only one player this off-season and front load the contact to eat up all their cap space, then I guess you'll have a point. Otherwise, not. Weird argument. :shrug:

    Some Mock Draft Observations

    If they're targeting a QB, why not? That's the whole premise behind the scenario where they try to get the Cardinals to trade up to #3. And if, on the other hand, they sign a FA QB, but they're equally happy with either MHJ or Alt, then why wouldn't they try to get some picks from the Cards so...

    For draft talk reference

    I just posted this in another thread: According to the Draftek trade value chart, the difference in value between #4 and #3 is 400 points, so exactly equivalent to the Cards' two lower 3rd-round picks. Yep, it's a lot to give up, but if the Cards really want MHJ they might either need to call...

    Round One Conundrums

    Exactly - almost no point speculating which path makes more sense in the draft until we see what happens in FA. A good FA RT would change everything! :lol:

    Ossenfort and Free Agency

    I don't understand how some people are finding this so difficult to grasp. As long as the Cardinals spend close to the cap this off-season, including the rolled-over unspent money from last off-season, they will PRECISELY be making up for everyone not signed last off-season. Plus, the guys...

    Ossenfort and Free Agency

    Kyzir White was #61 on that list. The Cardinals also re-signed Kelvin Beachum, who was #59. Those are the ones on the list that the Cards signed.

    It could be quite a high stakes showdown!

    Ossenfort and Free Agency

    This is an odd take after you've repeatedly argued that the Cardinals shouldn't have stripped the roster completely bare for a total rebuild, but should've spent cap space on a few more decent vets last off-season so they could've been in contention for a playoff spot this season. What would...

    Some Mock Draft Observations

    Yeah but (assuming Williams & Maye are off the board at #3) they know they can get their QB at #4 if they trade back with the Cardinals, and almost certainly at #5 if they trade back with the Chargers. Why wouldn't they try to leverage some extra picks out of one or the other, and still get...

    Belichick and Patriots parting ways (Hired Jerod Mayo)

    But... if they like Williams or Maye, they may need to trade up with the Bears, leaving the Bears to take MHJ at #3. If they like one of the other QBs, they may be willing to trade back a bit, leaving another team to jump in to #3 and take MHJ. At the very least, they could leverage the...

    2024 Draft Countdown/NFL Prospects thread

    Though someone just posted that tweet, I believe the video was from October 5th. It seems to me that some of the shine came off of Williams this season... I wonder whether Spielman, or anyone would rate Williams higher than Manning today? I dunno, I hardly watch CFB myself - just going by what...

    Some Mock Draft Observations

    I'm not arguing one way or another - but I find it interesting that the prevailing sentiment on MHJ seems to be, "If he's there, it would take a HUGE offer to pass on him and trade down", and at the same time, "The Cards should give up NOTHING to trade up and be sure of getting him."

    What a difference a year makes.

    So they had to make him 3rd string to prevent themselves from accidentally naming him the starter?? :shrug:

    Some Mock Draft Observations

    Another scenario: Williams and Maye are picked in the top two slots, and New England is on the clock. They call the Cardinals and say they have an offer from the Chargers at #5, who want to trade up for MHJ, and they know they can still get their desired QB at #5. What are the Cardinals...

    Ossenfort and Free Agency

    For those hoping for big name / big dollar free agents, keep the following in mind: Mike Sando had articles in The Athletic that listed the top 11 free agent signings of 2022 and 2023 by APY. It's interesting to see the results of bringing in high-dollar free agents, even after such a short...
