Heck I'm going to set the minimum for me at 10.

And that is the absolute floor here. These baby step, minute gains aren't enough. Year 3 of a successful rebuild results in a playoff run. Or it's, you know, not a successful rebuild.

AZ Cardinals FAs to keep an eye on heading into the draft.

LJ Collier
Roy Lopez

The Cardinals re-signing one or both of these players will impact the Cardinals draft plans. Only so many roster spots for interior defensive players in an odd front.

Justin Jones
Bilal Nichols
Darius Robinson
Dante Stills

The Cardinals will probably look to add at least two players to that mix. If they re-sign both Collier and Lopez, then they are likely not going to sign a mid level FA DL AND draft a IDL. 7 is probably the maximum the Cardinals want to invest in a IDL room outside of min guys and UDFAs.

Benson has the ability to be a top starting RB when Conner is done, maybe sooner. He can be special. He’s a Emmitt Smith type player although maybe not reaching those heights.
Emmitt Smith had 900+ yards and 11 TDs his rookie season.

I agree with you Stout!

But I think nine wins probably buys all the leaders another year. Just my opinion though.

What starter was he backing up?
Is your contention that we were playing the weaker player because Conner is a good leader or something?

Trey Benson had one TD last season. Zero indications that he could meet the standard of a hall of famer—especially one who achieved that status mainly by staying healthy despite a sometimes crazy workload and just compiling stats.
