I mean they can’t let him walk after this season, that’s for sure.
There is no doubt he is the heart and soul of this team. I would get his agent and talk to him about what it would take to get a two year extension right now. Not just for him, but for the morale of the rest of the team as well.

Yeah the agent probably wants 3 for sure but I’d sign a 2 year extension tonight.

It's really all about the guaranteed money. Two v three should be pretty easy to work out given the amount of cap space we have.

In fairness he has softened just a tad lately
Pretty off with your call out here. I hated the signing and banged on him a while because he was always injured and fumble prone, but as he solidified him in the desert, have relented and admitted he was a great signing. Hit the reset button, @Shane :D

It isn't rocket science. If Monti doesn't get some kind of extension done in the next month he is an incompetent book.
Have to bring him back. Three years would be Keim-ish, unless the third year is an easy out. Two, maybe, but again, want an out. But he has to come back at least for another year.

For as good as he is and has been, he is aging.

I’ve been a Cards fan since I moved to AZ in 2003. He’s the best RB the Cards have had in my time as a fan.

Hmmm... interesting.

Kind of a low bar to be honest but I agree.

David Johnson before he stopped caring about football would be close. But Beanie and Edge didn't impact the game the way Conner does.

Good call.

It just depends on the structure. You can give him a 3rd year as long as it costs little to get out of.

Loved what Orlovsky said about JG considering him an assistant coach. On a young team that needs solid veteran leadership he is essential.

I would guess you mean a 15 mil sighing bonus? If that the case his cap hit year one is 11 mil but you're paying him 21? I think that is a bit rich for the first year. And you have no Injury protection. I would think if you do that he would only get 2 million in base salary the first year then split the 8 remaining at 4 and 4.
