Bashaud Breeland coming in for a visit

[RugbyMuffin]

Sure, if the undrafted free agent can be an efficient kicker, dawson, who has been a sub par kicker here, is easily replacable

I think you take that risk.

3/20 milions could be an adequate offer for breeland?

3 years would be a good signing, IMHO.

CB Bashaud Breeland is visiting #azcardinals today. Signing him would give Cardinals solid starting secondary: Breeland and Peterson at corners. Bethea and Baker at safeties. Team $18 mil under cap, per NFLPA

The Killer Bs and P.

You can only cut Dawson if there is an adequate replacement. Sure he missed more kicks than he usually does, but it was obvious that he was constantly concerned about his blocking on the edges.

"Adequate replacement" = I think that your average, run of the mill kicker can hit 80% of their field goals, and be very sub-average in clutch situations. Furthermore, not cost you the amount that Dawson does.

Thus I find there to be an adequate replacement on the roster for the sake of bringing in a cornerback to play opposite Peterson.

Wouldn't 8 mil eating up all the remaining cap space, after paying the rookies and saving about 5 mil for in season injuries? I know they could make more cap space if they wanted to, but I just don't see SK spending 8 mil on a CB2. I hope I am wrong though.

Well according to Somers tweet we have $18mil in space per the NFLPA. Rookie pool estimate is $6.6 million for us per sportstrac, 18-6.6 = 11.4 - 5 for in season = $6.4 million, seems like a number they can make work for a 3yr $20-$24 or 2yr $15ish, we have tons of room next year, backload it and get it done!

our rookie pool is no longer a factor....only two guys left to sign.

I think we can sign this guy if they want him,...pretty sure the Doc will have final say....should leave us room to get another vet if he comes available.

over the cap has us at 16.2m under the cap,

 

[Buckeye Cardinal]

Don’t let him leave without signing.

Bashaud Breeland’s visit with #AZcardinals is complete. No deal imminent. Not sure why not. Might have just been checking each other out.

 

[juza76]

Same cheap

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

bummer.

 

[Ronin]

Oy!

 

[cardncubfan]

Same cheap

This is a BS comment. You have no clue what was offered or if there was an offer. To automatically assume the Cards were cheap is complete BS.

 

[Ronin]

Perhaps both sides were simply judging fit. It is possible
Breeland is looking make much more than the Cardinals are willing to offer. He also could simply be looking around, looking for potential fits as training camp approaches

You know this how? Cards haven't been under paying guys for years now. This isn't the same old, Keim overpays his guys and yes will try to get a break on a FA good for him good for us when things work out, but this isn't the Bill Bidwill team of old.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Well this sucks.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Head scratcher... seems like he’d be a really good get with a decent amount of scratch to burn.

 

[HoodieBets]

I don’t get it. Waste money on guys like smith and Pugh but don’t spend money of one of our top 3 needs. If we can’t find a second corner this team will get crushed in division.

Maybe holding out for DRC?

No no no DRC is a dog and breeland is about 20x the player he is right now.

Good lord no. DRC in his prime was mediocre. One of my least favorite Cardinals ever.

While we may want Breeland, the team did their work. They brought him in. Sounds like they maybe weren't confident he had healed, or that he'd fit the system.

A lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth for a guy who couldn't pass a physical to get signed in the first place.

 

[Garthshort]

Fans complaining because, as of now, they realize that our CB2 puts the team in peril.

 

[WisconsinCard]

Fans complaining because, that is what they do.

FTFY

I trust HC Wilks, he knows DBs. Breeland has a physical problem else he would have been a Panther. Keim and Wilks are not going to throw money away if there are concerns.
