Cardinals sign left tackle D.J. Humphries to a three-year extension!

[PDXChris]

Curious at the cost.

First Kiem 1st round pick to see a third deal.

Good stuff here.

 

[kerouac9]

Great move, Keim.

 

[BigDavis75]

Awesome news, one less thing to worry about.

 

[TruColor]

Now I understand why he was "sick".

 

[football karma]

this needed to happen

 

[Shane]

Awesome

 

[DaHilg]

actually dumb move.. if you were going to do this you should have done it months ago. Back loaded the contract to free up some serious cap space and get a marquee free agent at a position of need.

 

[DaHilg]

Also will retract this if Kiem makes a marquee trade for a starter and he backloaded this contract to make the trade happen

 

[Mainstreet]

This was necessary business. Glad to see the Cardinals got it done.

Lol nothing about this was dumb

How do we know it isn't front loaded to free money for next year?

 

[Jetstream Green]

Finally!

 

[Dayman]

Great move.

DJ might not be the best LT in the league, but I think a lot people would be surprised at how tough it would be to find an upgrade. Plus, we now have a starting O-linemen who isn't contemplating retirement signed past this year.

Don't you see?

It's dumb if we speculate all the potential downsides of everything about the contract without seeing it.

Plenty dumb.. bottom quarter of the league starter. Ranked 26-32 on a number of lists… would have rather seen season play out and make a decision at that point. Make him work his butt off - he’s literally only had 1 good season. Last season he was trash..

Secondly, why not manipulate the cap like all the other teams going for a SuperBowl? Little salary impact this season to get an elite starter at another position of need???

Ya so you’re right Shane.. nothing dumb about this lol to you broseph

Never ever miss an opportunity to criticize especially if you don't have a clue what happened

 

[DaHilg]

Not to mention- why not go all in on a season where the SuperBowl is in your home stadium????? Had the ability too 100%

 

[Stout]

I mean, I don't think he sees the full contract, but it helps us in the short-term.

 

[dscher]

Last season he was trash..

This. Meh for me. Unless his trash season helped contract negotiations and outperforms here on out.. it's meh.

Good move.

 

[cardsfanmd]

I’m eager to see the numbers.

So it's frontloaded, which seems smart.

so he's being paid like a top 3 tackle?
