Metcalf Rules
Hall of Famer
I also don't think there will be any big FA moves. I'm hoping more for smart FA moves.

If ARZ doesn't end up with Anderson or Myles Murphy then I would expect them to sign a pass rusher in free agency but that could be pricey especially for a guy like Yannick Ngakoue whom I would want.

If we want to optimize free agency for 2024 compensatory picks, look for guys who are on the market due to (1) voided contracts and (2) cut. These players do not factor into the compensatory pick calculation.
As of now, and according to OvertheCap.com, here are the veterans we might be looking at at positions of potential need. (Age and 2022 team in parens, sorted by 2022 snap %).
IDL
Fletcher Cox (33, PHI)
David Onyemata (31, NO)
Dalvin Tomlinson (29, MIN)
Jordan Phillips (31, BUF)
CB
:Literally no one:
LG
Rodger Saffold (35, BUF)
C
:Literally no one:
TE
:Literally no one:
QB
:Literally no one:
I had no idea it was going to be this bleak. The Cards would be wise to prioritize re-signing Will Hernandez and/or Cody Ford and Billy Price just to have options going into the draft.
There will still be free agents available after the comp pick calculation deadline has passed in, like, June. Some of them will be gems. But it'll be an interesting minicamp.

Well, we'll be paying Jordan Phillips either way...might as well have him on the roster!
2024 Comp picks should be the last of the Cardinals worries.

And yet this is the only way you get something back if they let both Zach Allen and Byron Murphy walk.

Smushdown! Take it like a fan!
I hope they have the patriots approach, spreading the money over the talent - long term functional signings Over splash. Hard to do with Kms contract, but makes it even more necessary.

That worked with the greatest QB ever...have not seen it work much without him.

And yet that's the pacifier that many posters on this board are using/going to use to explain to themselves why losing Murphy and/or Allen is Not That Bad.
Losing them for nothing is actually better than losing them and deciding to kick back for the first two months of free agency to get something for them (maybe).

When does this ish show actually begin?

I agree that being competitive and adding talent to the roster sooner rather than later is probably the only way Kyler sticks around.
I strongly disagree with the belief that it's a good idea to pay big money to 30-year-old James Bradberry over 25-year-old Byron Murphy.

I kinda feel like it has already begun. Next Wednesday is when Hopkins should be officially traded. Free agents can begin negotiation on Monday.

Fun fact. 30 year old Jason Hargrave best pressure production in his career was 18 pressures. Pressures are totals of QB hurries, knockdowns, and sacks. Highest tackle for loss was 10. Zach Allen, four years younger, has two seasons over 18 pressures, highest was 25 (missed three games), and 10 TFLs.

Like grammatically or contextually?

No, you don't understand the plan! We then we can draft some other players, train them up to prepare them for another team in FA! Then, we turn around, let them leave in FA and get more comp picks.
The system works!

Pretty much the same as our local baseball heroes, ostensibly a farm team for teams that actually care about winning. Good times!

Grammatically.
That system works for some teams when they have a defined core of elite players. Hard to build that way.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
And yet this will limit you to waiting until later in free agency and/or picking at the bottom of the barrel, lest you lose these comp picks. Not a good way of doing business or rebuilding the roster. Ugh.

Your critique does not effect me.Grammatically.
