6-2, 297lb, 32 yrs old

Been a rotational guy most of his career (112 games but only 37 starts), no idea how good he is.

Is a rotational guy but the numbers are solid

 

[Garthshort]

Zeno, for me the question is whether he's better than the guys we have. JMO.

I wonder if they pulled the trigger on DLine depth a little to early. Zach Kerr and Mike Pennel got released today. Both are bigger and younger then McDonald. VJ should know Kerr from Denver.

 

[Harry]

He did start at one point for Seattle if I remember correctly. However, he’s bounced around too much to get me excited.

Hard to argue with this. Pennel seemed to be a better choice to jam up the nose.

Joseph should have good insight on Kerr

Pennel would be a nice fit as well

McDonald probably doesn’t preclude them from signing other DTs. One rotational guy isn’t going to fix the problems on the line

Agreed, but cap space has to be dwindling.

Agreed, but cap space has to be dwindling.

Cards have 7.1 mil left. That’s before Crabtree, so figure 4.6. Also, guys like Chad Williams will be cut, which will give us more space. One more guy at a reasonable rate should be fine. Don’t discount other “surprise” cuts that may save more money.

low end salaries dont count against the cap anyway....anybody signed now will likely be low end

Are we all sure the key problem is with our D-line and not ILB?

I think Walker played much better than Gardeck. I think he is adequate.

Vallejo does he play or is he injured?

 

[PJ1]

Both Vallejo and Walker are scrubs in my opinion.

How much dead cap space are we up to now?

This is the first game I remember seeing Walker and going hey this kid may have something. This definitely was his best performance as a Cardinal.

We have a ton of holes. The waiver wire isn't going to fix the problem.

Don't believe you

 

[Krangodnzr]

McDonald is a solid rotational lineman. I'd argue he's shown more than any other lineman on the roster not name Corey Peters.
