Antoine Cason To Visit Cardinals

[crisper57]

A couple points...

1-Cliff Avril is 26 and has 29 sacks over the past 3 years. Elvis Dumervil is 29 and has 37.5 sacks over the past 3 years. They are close, but I would guess that most team swould rather sign a 26 year old to a larger contract than a 29 year old.

2-Just because a player is cut because he won't renegotiate his cap number, doesn't mean that is what he expects to sign on the open market. Dumervil will want around 6, 7 mil a year which is similar to Avril, but his focus is on more guaranteed money rather than money he won't see at the end of the contract. In fact, I could see him signing a 2 year deal that would make him a free agent in 2 years when the cap will increase.

That makes way too much sense to be true!

So that's why all these agents conned the Cardinals into short term deals.

Sort of good news here:

Kent Somers ‏@kentsomers
1-yr deal for Shaughnessy, according to multiple outlets. Cardinals also talking to cason about short-term deal

@kentsomers: so Kolb's release frees $7.5 mil of space, according to my math. Efforting to determine team's cap situation now.

@kentsomers: Kolb is not a June 1 release designation. So #azCardinals take entire $6 mil cap charge this year. He's off books in 2014.

So team actually frees up less than two million ?

Hope it happens. Than we can focus on OL, QB, OLB and safety in the draft.

I think he would have cost us $13.5 M. Of that, $6M is dead money, so they only saved $7.5 M in cap space.

[Gee!]

Well it took waiting until they couldn't get Kolb down in price before we got him, but we got him..

 

[Gee!]

Sign Cason and draft Honey Badger.. We would be awesome at DB.. You heard it here first..
