Good question. Is Sweat a worthy target? How about Mack or Clowney?
Mack & Clowney on downside of career. Philly actually signed a gut to replace Sweat. He failed. Sweat got 8 sacks, none last 3 games. I’ve got a maybe I’ll talk about in my upcoming free agent assessment, but he’s no sure thing. Draft or trade looks like the best options, though there may be a couple of surprise free agents. Maybe Bosa is one if the keep Greenlaw.

See if we can sucker the Brownies for this year's 2nd and next year's 1st for Myles Garrett.

There's a read on it if you're interested. The issue is not going away. He had the arches in his feet surgically constructed as a kid. They just can't hold up to intense athleticism.
You notice in the article he constantly mentions managing pain and inflammation..and he knows surgery on both feet is required again..but it sounds like he wants to try to play through it until his career is over...if he can.
Cleveland already has him on a snap count.
Structural issues do not just get better on their own.

If we can't get it rolling in year three of the rebuild under Kyler, OMG this board will be insane. We won't be bad enough to get Arch, so it could be a wasteland in 2027.
The board seems to go insane a few times a year depending on the game and the outcome. I don't think that changes anytime soon.

que cosa?
Because they are both as likely to happen...

The Cards have never traded for the best player at their position in the world. The closest would have been Chandler Jones, he was in the hall of very good.

hmmm. I suppose but i think chandler was a pretty big deal, also Hopkins was arguably the best WR at the time of trade

I know playing a season with no one going on Injured Reserve is a dream, but it certainly would have been nice to see how the season would have unfolded if these guys had avoided the list: OT Carter O’Donnell, G Will Hernandez, LBs BJ Ojulari and Dennis Garrick and DTs Justin Jones and Bilal Nichols. They all went on the list before December. In December these guys went on IR: Jesse Luketa, Paris Johnson, Jonah Williams, Elijah Jones, Joey Blount, Trey Benson, Emari Demarcado and Blake Gillikin. And these guys were added in January: James Conner, Mack Wilson, Jackson Barton, Michael Wilson and Sean Murphy-Bunting. Do other teams have this many players visit the Injured Reserve List during a season? Seems like we have more than our share.

Some were put on IR because they probably had injuries but weren’t significant and could have played if playoffs were on the line. My guess anyway.
