Could we see a Massie Trade?

Um, let me think.........No!

Massie could end up being the starting RT for the Cards. Maybe even sooner than we think:

Mike Jurecki ‏@mikejurecki
BA: Earl Watford has played well in the run game but has given up too many hits on the QB.

Massie starting has kind of been what I've been thinking. He started all last year and played well. He was the starter until the suspension so it wouldn't surprise me if he re-gained the starting position, sooner rather than later.

Its all about protecting Palmer and if BA feels that Watford is giving up too many hits (which he said in his Monday press conference) than Massie will be starting this week against the 49ers.

What team is going to paid a 3rd rounder for 10 games of a guy who's a pending free agent already in Stage 4 of the SA Program?

I'd certainly take a trade for a 4th-6th round pick, but no one is going to give that up for a half-season rental.

I said it was doubtful anybody would offer up a 3rd round pick. I'm not trading him for a 4-6th rounder though. I'm sure if they did trade him, which is very unlikely, it would be for a conditional pick based on PT with the other team.

We have three guys that can play tackle. Veldheer, Massie and Watford. In case one gets hurt at least we have another. Neither Sowell nor Humphries can play very well so there is no need to trade Massie. I would trade Humphries before Massie. At least we know Massie is an above average tackle.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Which leads us to this... what the hell is Sowell doing on this team since he is not able to do nothing in my opinion and unlike Humphries he is not going to get any better and maybe it would be cool to get an extra pass rusher like I don't know, maybe Freeney

 

[Shaggy]

My question is if freeny is such a good pass rusher, why is he still a FA?

If Chris Johnson is such a good RB, why was he still a FA?

Someone mentioned in another post about his get off the couch fee was pretty steep. Not sure if that is the case?

Depth

The something we will get from him is depth on the offensive line, in case of injury, during a season the Cardinals will be in the mix for a championship. Even if his production for this year is only a single game that helps bring a trophy, that is more valuable than a future mid-round draft pick.

For Massie, it would be better to show a commitment to his current team and give the appearance of taking the suspension and possible demotion like a man. Free agency can bring a sense of desperation for some organizations, and if more than one team is interested, Massie will get a nice pay check. Pushing for a trade, and spending half the season trying to adjust to a new team (either on the bench or looking bad) could easily diminish his value - not just in dollars but in the number of teams looking to bring him in.

Even if he just rides the bench, it is worth it to the Cardinals to have someone on the roster ready to step in. During the off season, Massie's agent can easily spin the 'got in the doghouse, but has learned from it' angle. It is just too risky (for both sides) to trade for a mid-round pick. Not to mention the risk of the other franchise handing over a draft pick for a possible non-starter, already with a suspension, that is in his last contract year.

Just don't see the value for any of the involved.

Depth is a valuable asset. We are playing to win THIS year. Keep him.

If Chris Johnson is such a good RB, why was he still a FA?

Cause he was shot in the off season and not fully recovered until around then time he was signed?

and because RBs about to turn 30 are seen as damaged goods.

everyone else's loss is our gain here. another fantastic one year rental by Keim.
