Im hoping this dude has fire and wants to be a starter and get paid.
Show out young man.

10000000% thisI would rather have the 26 year old who has showed at least some big potential over the 32 year old whose best days are most likely behind him. We did the latter a lot with the last regime & suffered from it.
Yeah. This dude is a replacement for/successor to Gardeck. We hopefully won't be eligible for any comp picks next year, but this guy can absolutely be had on a Collins-style extension right now and provide good competition for Beej next year and a solid complement to the prospect we draft in the first or second round next year.But they also could still keep him for cheap. Decent chance he’ll be in our long-term plans. Za’Darius, at age 32, clearly will not be. If Keim was still the GM, I bet he would have absolutely made this move.
I don’t mind Monti staying true to his under 30 rule, especially when it comes to EDGE players. Imagine if we would have traded draft capital for Matt Judon? There would have been initial excitement only to see he’s completely washed.

Smith is too young for Keim. Steve would trade for him, if he were 36+.But they also could still keep him for cheap. Decent chance he’ll be in our long-term plans. Za’Darius, at age 32, clearly will not be. If Keim was still the GM, I bet he would have absolutely made this move.

If he works out we can nickname him the Red Baron.
FWIW, I can't stand the term "flashed". This is the NFL, every one has flashed. Can you impact the game? That's the question. I'm hoping a change of scenery and a chance to shine with us turns the light on for this dude.

The family has owned the team since 1933. It would be like getting the Duttons to sell the Yellowstone Ranch. It's their family identity.Why? Glad you get your giggles in having a crap owner.
Bidwill has proven like his father that he's not a good owner. He SHOULD sell the team, but he's hit the lottery and gets to lord over something he doesn't deserve while not even trying to compete. Hilarious stuff.
Their continued ownership is a curse to all of us Cardinals fans.The family has owned the team since 1933. It would be like getting the Duttons to sell the Yellowstone Ranch. It's their family identity.

Wow THE Baron von Stuben? Author of the blue book, and the father of the United States Army as a professional organization.Side note: I once found an old county map showing the land my high school is on was once owned by Baron von Stuben. How we were not called the Barons is beyond me!
Cards and Lions at two different trajectories. Not sure it is apple to apple. Monti was never giving up two draft picks.Browning, while younger, is a UFA this offseason. Say the Cards get some production out of him: the team may still lose him.
Smith is signed through 2025 (at a cheap $1.4mm per year in salary).
This team has a chance to win its division and/or make the playoffs. The 49ers arent going to lose key offensive starters for long stretches of the season every season.
It feels like Monti is so committed to his process (players under 30, keep draft capital) that he is passing on an opportunity.
