Cards bring Vet QB Huntley in for tryout.

[az jam]

The Arizona Cardinals could make a move on the roster at quarterback. According to the NFL transaction report (via Cards Wire's Howard Balzer) they had former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley in on Friday for a tryout.

He’d be the best 3rd stringer in the league who isn’t a rookie surprise.

Just a weird action

Why sign Brissett and then bring Huntley in for a tryout unless you are trying to move Kyler during the draft. My conspiracy brain is working overtime with this move.

Exactly. Man, this board would EXPLODE if Kyler were traded during the draft.

Especially considering it would result in $92 million in dead money. We'd have to cut $70 million in space.

Couldn't it just be a move to replace Tune as the third string QB? Saying this, it does seem a little strange to invest resources at this time in evaluating a possible third string QB.

Huntley as the 3rd QB on the PS that can emergency dress on game days sounds fine to me! Better than Tune.

3rd string is also generally scout team. He's mobile, which can better simulate that part of the game.

Good take. They play a few teams this year with mobile-ish QBs. Much better to have someone similar on scout team like that.

Maybe they don't like Tune.

 

[Harry]

I’d be surprised if Huntley couldn’t find a more likely spot to get playing time

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Tune has fallen flat.

 

[BulldogCard]

This team acts like it is not comfortable at quarterback. Maybe draft Skat and run the ball 35 or 40 times a game.

 

[az jam]

I would like to see them perhaps draft a qb in round 5 to develop as Ron Wolf always did for the Packers especially if they are not high on Tune. Gabriel Oregon, Ewers Texas, Howard Ohio State & McCord Syracuse are some names to consider.

would be awesome, the 2026 QB draft class is sick.....

The Cards would likely have to tank again, to have a high draft pick, because the most likely teams that would trade for Kyler would have good to great rosters already (Jets, Minny, Pittsburgh) and just be needing a QB. Expecting the other team to have a high pick after the trade wouldn't be too wise of a gamble. Or they'd have to be willing to mortgage the future to trade up. Either way, be careful what you wish for.

well... I dunno... we could package our pick with what we get in a trade for Kyler and move into the top 3 most likely.
hypothetically speaking...its not inconceivable that if we traded Kyler on draft day this year..we could get a 2026 and 2027 first...or a 26 first and a second this year.
Then next year bundle our 25 with shittsburghs 15, and maybe our 2027 first...and that should get us to number 2 overall
