2021 Free Agency

[BritCard]

Yikes.

I didn't realise we had quite so many starting FA's next year.

45% of this years snaps are FA next year. League leading.

Nothing to be scared about
Isnt hard to replace the great part of them

 

[Chopper0080]

And yet we aren't playing Murphy, Simmons and Kennard, all of whom are under contract next year. There is some big brain thinking for you.

 

[CanadianCardsFan]

Just at a quick glance...

Tough to replace:
Patrick Peterson (yes I know alot of you will disagree)
Golden
Reddick

Would like to keep:
Fitzgerald (only if much lower cap)
Drake (or plug this hole with a draft pick and a veteran)
Beachum

Replaceable:
Campbell (replace with Simmons)
Banjo
Kirkpatrick
Joseph
Peko

Easily Replaceable:
Sweezy (Can we finally draft a guard that can start?)
Zane
Lee

The rest are guys making less than a million... I don't think that is a huge uphill task?

If they want to upgrade the WR position Detroit is going to have to make a decision as they have both Golladay and Jones Jr. coming up a FAs in 2021. Don't see them being able to sign both.

Golladay is 3 years younger, but injury prone. I love Jones watched him at Cal of course but he is 30. He's a great redzone target but NOT a speed guy anymore.

Too bad 100% of them (including coaching staff) aren't FA next year.

 

[Chopper0080]

Curtis Samuel is an interesting option as a FA WR. He is young (25) similar to JuJu and has a lot of flexibility in how he can be used. Nice run after catch guy. You could probably get him for around 8 mil and get similar production to what JuJu would get at half the price.

 

[Chopper0080]

My early FA thoughts.

JuJu
Corey Davis
Curtis Samuel
John Ross (pure dart throw)

Trading Andy Isabella for Kerryon Johnson or Miles Sanders (both teams have low cap space, few WRs that will be on their roster and use RB mostly as a committee)

Brandon Scherff

Larry Ogunjobi

Also, lots of players will be cut as teams will be struggling to get under the cap so that should flood the market and drop the price for some vets.

i highly doubt team invests in another wide receiver after the money they gave to deandre. ( See boldin/Fitz )

They took 3 WRs in one draft and none of them seem to be working out. Our 2nd best WR is 38? Kirk is looking like a 3 or 4 at best. With everyone's job dependent on Kyler succeeding, I doubt they will leave Kyler to make it work with what he has.

Keim couldn’t draft a #2 receiver if his life depended on it. At least you know what you’re getting if you sign a vet.

Interesting Chopper, that you thought were thinking of 2 receivers I was looking at.
Curtis Samuel, age 25, market value for 2021 is 6.5M for 3 years.
Cori Davis, age 26, market value for 2021 is 8M for 4 years.
I believe that the Cardinals have to concentrate on rebuilding the OL, but not much in free agency, maybe John Miller. The draft has several OG to look at.
In free agency the 2 best are Scherff and Thuney, but both would be too expensive.

Money is not as much of an issue as people are making it out to be. We probably couldn't sign both, but one or the other is easy.

DT Corey Peters, an impending free agent, on his future: "Being here in Arizona for the past six years has been amazing. We've put some roots down here. ... Obviously I'd love to be a Cardinal for the rest of my career, but it is what it is. I understand the business side."

 

[Chopper0080]

A name to remember for 2021.

Marcus Williams S Saints

A similar skill set to Justin Simmons who Vance had in Denver but a better tackle %, better comp% against, and almost as many INTs.

He is 24 and will turn 25 next September. The Saints can't afford to re-sign him or franchise him unless they really work some cap-magic. I like Jalen Thompson as much as most, but I don't know how long we want to wait for his development. I think it would be more prudent to sign Williams and then use Jalen as a 3rd S / nickel CB. I don't believe Williams will get the love of these other S, but I feel like he complements Budda very well and is very underrated.

 

[Chopper0080]

Also, Chidobe Awuzie CB Cowboys. Has experience and good size. Willing tackler. He isn't great but he is a younger guy who may turn out to be a late bloomer.

Kevin King is another name as we seem to love Washington Husky DBs.

on offense: its driven by Kenyan Drake and Larry Fitz. Sweezy to a lesser extent

on defense: Pat P, Corey Peters, Reddick, Golden, Devondre Campbell

 

[Chopper0080]

@DVontel How do you feel about Leonard Williams?

Super pass on any DB from Dallas.

Bleh on King, too.

I get it, but this is what the market looks like.

I think they will want to keep him for sure. The only way he leaves is if he he isn't as committed to them.
