Cardinals Trade for RB Kenyan Drake

[TheCardFan]

If Drake plays well and gets a good FA contract, would we get a compensatory draft pick?

 

[football karma]

I disagree. I think kyler playing out the season with even less weapons would stunt his growth.

this X 1,000

this is about keeping your franchise QB in managable down and distances over the remainder of the season.

its also about trying to win as many games as possible -- to set the stage for next year.

also this:

its not bad company

what if this offense is perfect for his skills and he blows it up? there are worse problems to have

And this stats are with an OL that's worse and Cards...and that's not even debatable.


Drake can run and he can catch.

He is in the last year of his contract?

Now we should pull the trigger for Josh Gordon
We need more weapons for Murray

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Your argument is the only one that makes any sort of sense and I understand… But people crying because they want to do it for this season and prepare for Thursday have lost their minds... lol

Agreed

 

[DVontel]

I’m okay with this deal

Think I’m the only one who loves it.

I wanted Kenyan badly in 2016 & the fact we were able to get him for a 6th instead of a 4th Miami was fetching for is good.

I bet he’ll like the offense.

I’m fine with this because it won’t cost us draft capital. It’s the trading of picks for a backup RB that makes me frustrated with Keim

 

[DumboD]

I like the move. Let's try to win some more games this season, instead of repeating that there's just no hope. Even though Drake may be a half-season answer, you never know. And he's bound to give KM more options with Edmonds and DJ out. That should help his confidence.

 

[CardsFan88]

Great deal.

Has some talent. We're desperate.

If he signs elsewhere after the season we may get a 5th-7th compensatory in return.

Or maybe we keep him. RB's don't get a lot of money. SOME do, most don't. Is he guy we might sign to a 3 yr ~7 mil deal to be our backup/spot starter going forward? Maybe.

Worst case imo is we don't lose a pick overall, just downgrade a round or two and it comes a year later.

 

[Dr. Jones]

This had better be for a 5th or worse. Free agent? Big $$$ already tied up in DJ and a young rb in chase. This will be a rental. If it’s a late round pick, fine. He’ll help the rest of the season with kyler a continued development, so in that respect I’m fine with sacrificing a late round pick. But it better be late round Keim . . .

I’m okay with this deal

Me too.....

We have been at our best this year when we have had 2 backs in the backfield with Kyler. This gives us a 3 back look that could, in theory, be frightening.

And finally..... from a future perspective: What is David's dead money number next year if we move on from him?

 

[BigRedRage]

Like 1616 said, I'm not content watching them roll over and die, but it's hard to envision our mash unit suddenly becoming dramatically better with a two day turnaround to get a guy into the playbook and onto the field. It's well known I'm a darksider this season though. I'm functionally ready to call this one a game before we even get underway.

I'm just mad Keim can waste future assets and everything so carte blanche at the moment.

The big positive out of Kliff shooting us in the foot on that 4th down play from our 30 crossed with the niners destroying the panthers, I now plan to record and just fast watch the game after enjoying Halloween.

 

[TheCardFan]

Not sure why you wouldn't want this guy on the team. Perfect skill set for this offense and brings it every play.

[blindseyed]

Sounds like a dumb trade to me just roll with the 2 RBs you just signed

This is what I thought, why did Keim sign 2 RBs and now trade for a 3rd? Are DJ and Chase going to IR or something?

It’s not that I don’t like him as a player it’s just he is only going to help for maybe 6 games then leave as a FA. He will be of no use this Thursday he will have the bye to learn the playbook and then he will have an impact.

Who cares? This team isn't going to the playoffs and hes gone after the season. Its pointless.

Is it pointless to the guys who put their bodies on the line every week in the hopes of winning?

 

[KYCardFan]

Good Deal - For a 6th round pick, fills an obvious need, he can catch ball out of backfield too.

 

[DVontel]

How are you guys even sure Drake doesn’t resign?

 

[Dr. Jones]

How are you guys even sure Drake doesn’t resign?

Agreed. And how do we not know that DJ may be the one on the outside looking in if this goes well.

Again..... What's the cap hit if DJ is cut in the offseason?

Because we're not making the playoffs, he'll only be with us for 8 games and we just burned a pick to get him.

 

[Arz101]

Who sends a fifth rounder for a 8 game rental? What kind of things do they smoke at the Tempe facility?

DJ has a cap hit of 14.25m next year with dead cap of 16.2m he ain’t going nowhere til 2021.

miami receives an unconditional unnamed draft pick

Just like expected, DJ & Edmonds will be out Thursday

I believe the pick is CONDITIONAL.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

No issues with this trade at all. If he plays well then he will count as a benefit in the compensatory pick formula when he leaves as a free agent

 

[Zeno]

A conditional 6th round pick? I am not sure what the hand wringing is about.
