I'm skeptical you can lose a bunch of weight and then put it back on that quickly without some issues.

He said he got to 265, his playing weight is 310, that's 45 pounds. He was quoted as saying he needed to get to at least 285 to be playable, any less he'd be too small. So if he's back to 310 that's pretty extreme 45 off 45 on that fast.

When I heard him on the radio he said he's back to last year's weight which was 280 to 285.

Mitch was Big Mad about Jesse Lemonier getting cut and decided to Post A Bunch of Tweets about it. Then he combined those tweets into a 5,000 word column.

Just a classic of the genre.
He is also claiming we were in a bidding war with Tampa for Ford. Couldn't find that anywhere on the interwebs besides from Mitch.

Its possible some other franchise were intrigued by Ford, just the price is a bit high

Its a part of the year where he usually fall in love with some players, normally udfa, without any particular reasons

Still trying to make sense of this move based on what we know.

Locks: Humphries, Pugh (?), Hudson, Hernandez, Beachum.
Mostly guaranteed: Jones, Smith
Bubble: Miles, Hayes (?), Murray, Harlow.

You'd have to think that Ford is a lock. I'd argue that at this point, the Cardinals likely see Jones and Smith as locks too.

Locks: Humphries, Pugh, Hudson, Hernandez, Beachum, Jones, Smith, Ford.

I'd argue that this probably means that Miles, Murray, and Harlow are goners, and that we've heard enough good about Hayes (who was also a draft pick) that he probably makes the team as well. This also means the Cardinals are pretty light at OT this year, but they might view Ford as a tackle.

It would make sense, since TB has had an injury or 2 on the OL already this training camp.

I keep seeing "This might explain it..." takes from Cards medi.

No. You don't trade a 5th for a stinger.
You right, you don't when its just a stinger. But you might if it's bad enough to see a specialist and the season is two weeks away.

Kliff said today Hayes will be out weeks - could mean he is going on the injured list.
