4 years?! Oof.

Thought he replaced Mendenhall. Do you think Cards will sign or draft another RB?

I would be very surprised if they did. I do see them bringing in a few UDFA's after the draft, maybe even a vet.

I sure hope so. Ellington carries may increase but still need someone who can handle quite a few carries and I hope it is not Taylor. Can't count on Williams and Dwyer in my opinion.

My guess is Williams gets his last shot this year to prove he can stay healthy.

That's what I'm thinking.
Ryan Williams better get in Arians good graces soon and produce with out injury.

Housler needs to catch the balls that hit him in the chest and face, and has to be in position, so the ball can hit him in the chest or face.

I also hope Bethel can make his way onto the field more often on defense, he is my new and improved Money Mike.

Nope only until draft

Avvy bet that Williams makes it past and uninjured through training camp and makes the regular season as a Cardinal?

Not sure if you were away from the board for a while, or, if our paths just weren't crossing?? But, while I realyl don't need to see your avatar much anymore, it's good to see your handle flying around these parts again mullinator!

UDFA -- lasted four years in the NFL -- probably made $1 mm plus over that time

there are worse things

Im guessing you are over stating what he's made? Wasn't he on the practice squad for the first 2 years? Even then there are worse things than being in and around the NFL for 4 years.

Done. Avatar until the end of season?

Who is this Ryan Williams you speak of

I think he is the RB version of Sasquatch or The Loch Ness Monster.

That's pretty good for a guy who is undrafted. If he was smart with his money he can be fairly comfortable for awhile.
