Thank you @Ravens organization for giving me a chance. I wouldn’t be who I am today without the opportunity. On to my next chapter and can’t wait to start. Go @AZCardinals

Great signing, could payoff big time.

He was supposed to be good coming out of Minnesota but never panned out. Maybe they bring back Troy Niklas next.

I could be wrong, but I think the cat can block lol

I do think they need a TE that has to be taken seriously as an inline blocker, but who also can at least go out and catch a 8 yard hitch

the problem with RSJ and Caleb Wilson is that teams wont treat them as TEs -- i.e. assume their presence on the line means "run"

Neat pickup. Good to see us working on moves.

That reminds me, I saw that clip, he was just saying they arent done signing people. Not necessarily that someone is signed and the ink isnt dry. I watched the clip last night but never came back to discuss it in that thread.

To be fair, this dude can block. Niklas cant do poo. Our current TEs cant block so this is a good move.

at least wilson can catch the football instead of stone hands RSJ

Maxx Williams is a good blocking tight end. Baltimore was interested in bringing him back and New Orleans also had interest. Baltimore tendered Williams but he chose to not sign making him a free agent.

But will the real RSJ show himself... because he looked pretty dang good prior to the arrival of Wilks

He is sooooo big Murray can hide behind him.

He is sooooo big Murray can hide behind him.

did u see murray inside the pocket making big throws with 6'6 lineman 3 yards in front of him?
he can throw a laser in a few inches window bending his arm to make any possible angle

thats why he had just few throws deflected near the line of scrimmage

Cardinals signed TE Maxx Williams, formerly of the Ravens.
The No. 55 overall pick of the 2015 draft, Williams entered the league as a hyped pass-catching prospect but has seen his career derailed by injury, including a devastating 2016 knee ailment. On the surface, Kliff Kingsbury's air raid would seem to be an encouraging place for Williams to try to revive his career, but Kingsbury rarely involved his tight ends in the passing game at Texas Tech. Although he just turned 25, the ship has probably sailed on Williams having a productive NFL career.

If and when healthy.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I like this signing

 

[football karma]

RSJ flashed in a couple games in 2017. That's it.

never took the step forward in 2018 -- but again, nobody on offense did much

this is an offense that suits him, but he better show something in the preseason--

Wilks nickname should have been Schleprock.
