We could bring Aboushi back. He's been solid since he left us (wasn't bad when here considering).

Then cut Pugh and draft a guard for LG. You should save $5m of so on the difference between Pugh and Aboushi.

I know nothing about him, but how smoothly he transited from the initial inside push to pick up the stunt is just impressive. I also like his punch, very strong and balanced.

Here's what you may get for the speculated $17m:

And here's what we have for $2m ($3.9 Cap hit in 2022)

Have to admit, I was on the not-sign-him-for-big-contract side the last offseason, especially the expected cost was being mentioned as about $12million per. I was afraid of him being a one-year wonder either. Despite his strong performance this past season, I still don't want Cardinals to sign him. Price is too high for us considering our cap situation, Golden is still a much better option from the cost vs production perspective.

Then why didn't one of the 'competent' GMs do it?
Number of reasons. Maybe they didn't feel he could play in 4-3, he was a 1 year wonder, he's not prototypical size for 3-4 OLB. He made a lot of GM's regret doubting him I'm sure. Keim saw what he could do after ARZ misused him his first 3 years at a position he never played in college and let him go. Yeah, Golden is cheaper but ARZ could have resigned Reddick and Golden and had a trio of pass rushers at OLB.

We blew it with this kid last year. This ain’t happening.

Twitter says he has no hard feelings and it's all about the Benji's.

I must say, I'm uncomfortable paying Reddick that kind of money. He's not a traditional bang linebacker like CJ. He's more of a SAM in the role that Golden plays.

I know Reddick has numbers but a lot of his sacks aren't high quality. They are blitzes, mop ups and speed. He's not going to beat good tackles with his pass rush moves, because he doesn't have any.
