Harry...free agency

[Chopper0080]

Chopper do you think Bosa is big enough to anchor at 3-4 end with golden and jones at LB? I mean I love the idea of the three of them getting at QBs, but in a 3 man front does he have enough beef? I would think he would have to move to OLB in a 3-4, no?

I think Bosa and CJones would be your base 3-4 OLBs. In nickel the Cardinals would have the option of moving Bosa inside, and putting Golden at DE. I think Golden will re-sign for a yer, so it would only be a short term issue.

I think the teams that do well see free agency & the draft as one entity. This is tricky for the Cards as the face the possibility of a trade. I’ll deal with the possibility of a Murray trade elsewhere. If the Cards move they could draft for almost any position. They could still get an edge rusher later in round 1 or they could sign Clowney. I think the injury risk is exaggerated. Smith from the Ravens is a cheaper up and coming option. On offense the line comes first. I’ve mentioned Saffold. James from Miami would help the run game as well as the fact he’s showing signs of improving in pass protection. He was duggested earlier in this string. As for receivers this string mentions Humphries who is sound and wouldn’t cost a fortune. Conley fits KK’s offense and would provide a deep threat. On defense CB is one of the other obvious holes. The Cards would likely have to overpay to sign Nelson. He’d probably work as a #2 corner but he’s not exciting. There are multiple TEs like Enron and Cook. I think they stay with Reddick & re-sign Buc at ILB. Probably missed several but you can start here.

My main disagreement is that I don't see how you can play both Bucannon AND Reddick next to each other inside in a 3-4. No instincts between the two of them and Reddick can't play OLB in a 3-4.

Agreed. We definitely need 1 upgrade at ILB (if we get Bosa). Bucannon is the odd man out with Reddick (and Bynes as a sub).

Adrew Whitworth was 35 years old when he signed with the Rams and turned around that offensive line. I know what you are saying about age, but if the guy can play, the guy can play, and there are very few good OL out there.

He is a stud. I guess a 3 year contract might be alright. I just don’t want to deal with an iupoti situation.

I agree on Buchanon staying whether we agree or not. I think Golden is the odd man out mainly because he is going to ask for too much money and will probably get it....and probably in Tampa.

Rosen would carry 10 million in dead cap because his contract is fully guaranteed.

There is just zero chance that this happens.

Is that the hit if we declare is a post July cut?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

It's fully guaranteed contract. It's the hit no matter when traded or cut.
