Before Free Agency started I suggested the Cards consider Rasul Douglas. My reasoning is simple; he was the best ballhawk among the free agents. He’s still sitting out there and the Cards must be considering CB after inviting Samuel to town. Both those guys had a lousy 2024, but had enough previous success to warrant consideration. I think the current roster group is strong enough to get by with, but Douglas would add a level of aggressiveness not exhibited by the current group. Of course the cost is a concern. However the upcoming draft has a decent pool of CBs. Also Douglas has been on the market long enough to insure no one is likely to be making a windfall offer. Perhaps he might settle for a one year, prove it deal. He’d be playing behind a probable pass rush, so the Cards should be attractive. If it were up to me I’d save the cap space, but he would be an interesting addition.

I watch a lot of the Bills games and he fell off a cliff last year. I’d like to proceed with melton and Williams getting significant snaps and the other spot being an open competition. We have bigger holes elsewhere in my opinion.

SMB really put us in a tough spot. The fact that we're even contemplating a CB at this point is a direct reflection on him. Should have been a position of luxury, now I'm not so sure we don't take one earlier than we should have.
