Cards Post Super Bowl Direction

[PDXChris]

Philly ILB Zack Baun has also been pretty dominant in the playoffs. I'd love to see us sign Sweat and Baun, and then take a DT in round one...Walter Nolan please.

Interesting that is was his full year as a starter at 28. Over the cap has a $20 million a year number on him right now. I'd rather bring back White at half thst if that is what his market really is. He also never played for Gannon or Rallis.

Baun made all pro this year which was his first as a starter. He would be a major upgrade over White imo.

Simmons in 1995 was great! 11 sacks, 6 forced fumbles and a pick 6! And Joyner had 6 INTs in 3 years along with 11 sacks as a LB. Definitely both were highlights from the horrible Buddy eara.

I remember the first Buddy home preseason game against the Niners. It was on a Saturday night, after a monsoon and on the defense’s very first time on the field, we got pressure on Steve Young, hammered him, the ball went up in the air and Simmons caught it for a 20ish yard pick-6 TD. That stadium erupted in a way never seen before and an indelible image is still burned into my brain as I can still see the moment, clear as day when I looked up into the sky and the bright night lights made the post Monsoon drizzle look like gold flints falling the sky as if football heaven had finally opened its gates and was raining down on us lowly Cardinals fans.

Little did I know, that was a completely different type of g-olden shower being rained down from above, almost as if forewarning our moronic asses about the kind of ish-show the football Gods were really about to unleash on us.

Good times, though!

This team ain’t going out and signing the top defensive FA in the game, who’s in the prime of his career.

Sweat likely gets tagged and even if he doesn’t, better teams with more creative cap maneuvering with go get him.

I agree. I don't think either Josh Sweat or Milton Williams are coming here.

You don't go from showing out in the Super Bowl to signing for the Cardinals. That's not to dump on the Cards, I think we are heading in the right direction and players will want to sign here, but both these guys will have better ranked teams interested in them such as Washington and Detroit.

These guys disagree

Sweat used the post season to secure 28mil a year...and likely 30.
I wouldn't hate on the signing but we ain't 1 player away just yet

Josh Sweat (Best season)
Sacks: 11
Tackles: 48
TFL: 15
QB hits: 23

Marcus Golden (Best season)
Sacks: 12.5
Tackles: 51
TFL: 16
QB hits: 22

JOSH ain't worth 28 or 30m, in my estimation.

Josh wouldnt be the first good, but not great, player coming off a big Superbowl performance to get a contract far bigger than his performance would suggest

i like the player, i just dont think grossly over-paying is the way to go
