Cardinals Unrestricted Free Agents

[CardLogic]

Here's the list of the remaining UFA that were Cardinals last year:

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
Unrestricted free agents have completed four or more accrued seasons with an expired contract. He is free to sign with any club, with no compensation owed to his old club, through July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later). On July 23, his rights revert to his old club if it made a "tender" offer (110 percent of last year's salary) to him by June 1. His old club then has until the Tuesday after the 10th week of the season (Nov. 13) to sign him. If he does not sign by Nov. 13, he must sit out the season. If no tender is offered by June 1, the player can be signed by any club at any time throughout the season.

Of Brewer, Darling, Griffith, Huff, Keys, Macklin, and Tate, who should the Cardinals tender (at what level) or re-sign???

I think they will need to make a decision between Brewer and Griffith, potential or experience. Rumors have been that Darling will be re-signed. Huff I am not sure of; likely wait until following the draft. Keys - who cares. Bring Macklin back for depth and experience. Tate likely gone.

Eh, we wouldn't miss any of these guys terribly. No reason to do more than offer reasonable tenders.

Macklin and Darling are the only two I'd give any thought to for depth. Didn't Darling play at all three LB positions at one time or another (not simultaneously)?

I thought I read somewhere Darling was close re-signing with us.

I thought Darling was leaving to take a position with AARP.

I think Darling should be re-sign. The pitiful lack of depth at LB would make this an easy decision in my book.
