Free Agency

[Stout]

I don't know...some peeps on here think building the roster is letting a 26 year old starting CB go so you can draft a 22 year rookie CB in the first round, hoping he is at least as good as the CB you just let go of.

Meaning you aren't drafting a player at a different position.

You then train him up to Murphy level, and then he can go sign elsewhere too...rinse and repeat.

Not trying to get into an argument here but if he is so good - why did he sign a short term/way under market value contract?

My guess is it's injury related. He's trying to rebuild his value, and decided against doing it here.

I think he knew this is what he'd need to do, with his recent injury issue. He even said as much, the week before FA began. I think he was either A) never in Monti/Gannon plans from the beginning, or B) the Cards wanted a multi-year deal at a lower amount, but Murphy wanted a 1 year deal to reset his market and chose to go to Vikings, who were offering just that situation.

 

[TheCardFan]

Then not the same as losing a 26 year old/top CB in his prime.

I am more bummed about losing Allen but time will tell on that one. Is he a 5-6 sack/year guy that can be replaced or a guy getting ready to take the next step and be a more dominant player?

We should’ve kept Murphy regardless of tanking. He would’ve have trade value had he stayed healthy and backed up his tape from last year.

 

[BritCard]

Bring him in just to intimidate people

Maybe he didn't want to? There are 2 sides.

That's a sizeable loss for Dallas, IMO.

Maybe Cards can package Ertz with Hop for a 2.

One can dream...lol

Yeah I would have kept Murphy at that price.

Man...the FA IDL market is rough. Be ready for a DT in the top 64. Mazi Smith fits the profile.

Brockers?
Joseph? He's 34, but would be another Philly guy.
Hankins?
Hurst?

At this point we just need bodies. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a defensive line with so little talent/depth.

HA!

He's going to put a dead fish in Rodgers locker, gum in his helmet, light his shoes on fire.

Full Dennis the Menace.

Not really any that I saw. In theory this isn't a terrible draft year to upgrade the defensive line but DT is a risky group. CB is a good group as well which is why some of our FA decisions have been odd. Going into the draft looking to add CB, OL, and DE is not bad by itself. Heading into the draft needing those players to be starters is risky.

Heading into a draft with this is scary.

3 CBs under contract. Marco Wilson, Christian Matthew, and Nate Hairston.

Rashad Lawrence as your best DT.

Starting DEs as Cam Thomas and Myjai Sanders.

Big mystery at C.

I say it is scary because ideally you would like to take advantage of the draft classes strengths. Take strong positions and get value. avoid those positions that are weaker. This is a great TE class that the Cardinals might miss out on because of the number of roster holes they have. DE/CB, C, TE in the first three rounds and in that order probably gets you the best over all players. I just don't know that we have the roster to do that.

Trey is a TE.

Not that scary. Check out my mock draft for the Cardinals. I have them covered with a couple of realistic trades.
