2025 Arizona Cardinals off season thread.

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."

We were never in a dead money coffin to begin with. Much of the dead money we took on was a result of moves made by Ossenfort unforced. We had like $30 million in cap room going into 2024.

It's such a poverty mindset to credit Monti for getting us out of a situation he put us in. The financial equivalent of doubling our wins.

Agree. I don't know where this idea comes from.

2024 Dead Cap money included $4.8 for JJ Watt, $3.5 for Rodney Hudson, $8.1 for DJ Humphreys, and $5.0 for Zach Ertz. I suppose you could argue that Monti is responsible for Humphreys and Ertz, since he released them, but what else could he do? Humphreys was injured and Ertz was beat out by McBride.

Monti spread the Watt and Hudson cap money out. That's why we didn't have capacity to designate DHop as a June 1 cut -- Monti had already used that for Watt and Hudson.

We could have been even more flush with cash in 2024 letting those guys contracts run out. And, again, $21 million in dead money isn't a big number.

Were people upset about dead cap? The Bills and Broncos made the playoffs with 75 million and 89 million in dead cap last year.

Would anyone be interested in Davante Adams?

Yes, absolutely.

Four days until free agency essentially begins and Cardinals still trying to get some of their own FAs re-signed.

after the Raiders and the Jets, Im not sure Devante wants to go for the dysfunctional franchise trifecta

C'mon, Monti, you gotta do the bare minimum here. Sheesh!
