expiring contracts

[JohnnyCakes]

This post isnt meant to dwell on the inevitable

However there are a number of contracts expiring that will have to be prioritized by Keim and staff

in order of importance ( imo )

1. Conner -- hardest one, so dangerous to lock up RB long term. Would love another 1 yr deal.
2. Golden Hoping for a modest 3 yr deal and draft Jones replacement
3. McCoy Showed how important the backup job to Kyler is. Stepped up big
4. Ertz not sure how much the cards want to commit to an aging TE but he has show flashes at times in the red zone of still possessing elite talent
5. Jones probably outta here, had a great run with cardinals
6. Maxx emerged as a nice blocking TE and bailout option for K!, would like another modest 2 yr deal
7. Kirk Someone will pony up the bucks for him.
8. Pugh? Not sure if he is a FA
9. Hicks I have a strong feeling we are extracting the last bit of good out of him. Still cant cover but is still playing at an above average level. His replacement was drafted.

AJ Green. Meh, he can come back for another 1 yr deal

Golden has been signed for 2 years

I really likeConner but i wouldn't offer more then a 2 years deal 7/8 mil

I would resign Kirk if doesn't demand too much, 3 year 39 mil?

Im sure they will resign maxx Williams for 1 year deal about 2mil, wont have a good market coming from a serious knee injury

Ertz 2/19 mil

Maybe Alford for another friendly deal

I wouldnt resign no one else

I want us to sign a pass rusher and a guard in free agency and using the first three picks in the following spots

OT
DT/DE
OLB

The weakest part of the Cardinals is the defensive line

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Conner is going to be in high demand. He will get at least a 3 year deal on the open
Market. I can see the Ravens going hard at him.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Say you are the Cards GM and you can only re-sign two of these three players:

Chandler Jones
James Conner
Zach Ertz

What's your choice?

I really don't see a 3 year deal for him. He'll be 27, had never rushed for 1000 yards and barring an injury, this will be his first full season played. This system fits for him and I think he comes back in a moderate 2 year deal

Ertz and Conner

Ertz and Conner

Definitely would not pay 3 for 39 for Kirk. Rondale should be able to play more of that slot roll.. and like RBs, WRs are deeper than ever in the draft based on the new age of college offensive schemes. I like Simmons a lot but damn, if we had CeeDee or Wirfs

 

[DaHilg]

Also, pending price Michael Gallup would be a good AJ Green replacement. He’s gotten better every year.. good size, good hands and athletic.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Conor is a awesome power hybrid back def resign!!! First shot

I would like green back 1 more yr he does well with murray magic

Pugh still under contract. Maxx not certain to rehab successfully. He’ll sign a 1 year deal if back. Jones will get better offer elsewhere. Ertz would be kept if not outrageous. I’d go 2 on Conner if the signing bonus isn’t too much. I think Green takes a 1 year deal. Kirk will do better elsewhere and get more targets. Moore replaces him. Golden & McCoy are affordable.

This is where I’m at

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Conner is only 26 a three year deal is reasonable.

this is pretty much where I'm at also.

My butt man, that's exactly what it does lol

Hope cards can keep eno as well he has made some powerful runs this yr and hes a devil!

[Chris_Sanders]

Don't pay RBs. Draft a guy round 3 or 4.

 

[Mainstreet]

Conner, Ertz and McCoy are almost must signings.

 

[Jasper]

If we have a deep run, possibly win the super bowl. We will have all the leverage. FAs will want to come to us. Current home players will give us a discount.

Yup def bring colt back servicable backups hard to find and he know pbook

Ertz/Jones

And just hope that Keim drafts a steal at RB.

Rondale should be, but we haven’t seen it. What’s his catch depth? Still like under 2 yards? I’d really like to see kliff start using him with a little more diversity of routes.

Ertz and Conner are easiest to replace. I realize CJ is declining but what rookie or journeyman pass rusher is going to provide game changing production next year. I would overpay him for one year and draft a pass rusher early.

I’m going to worry about the Rams.
