I don’t think JJ is done but how do you not invest your cap space in weapons/protection for Kyler?
With that said I’ll be buying a white Watt jersey
A better defense does help Murray though.
I guarantee this deal with have a stupid structure too so the next GM is paying for it when Keim is fired.
It's going to be something like $10m this year. $16m next year. $5m void 3rd year.
Don't get me wrong. The fanboy side of me is excited to watch JJ and CJ on either side. All rational parts of me say this is dumb.
Plus, it's the Cards. When we get excited about something it often disappoints. At this stage of my fandom I'd be more surprised by them both getting double digit sacks than I would by them both getting under 10.

Commented already but I have to say it again.... STUPID!

I wish I were more excited about the signing. It feels like a Cardinals move.

It just means that we will be using our draft capital on Murray, which fits better with his timeline anyway.

For years everyone was crucifying Keim for drafting a bust in reddick “now all our money for reddick is gone!” 
I'd argue a better defense is by far what will help him the most.
Chandler Jones and JJ Watt on the same side. lol
wouldn't expect to pay either one of them 32 mil over 2 years.
hopefully there's more to come, but that eats up a large portion of our cap with a ton of free agents
Let’s see how his 6 sacks and missing 8 games will help. We will hear all about leadership and community contributions. Maybe he can sell hotdogs when he’s on the inactive list.
Remember it was reported he wanted to go to NY, Buffalo or the Ravens. Guess what they told him? So he “ settles” for the Cardinals.
like I already said... goodbye Hasson and worse Linsley.
He is not done. He could have a big impact. He better for that kind of money. If we get similar production like we did when we signed Chandler Jones? This is a great signing.

that's a fun thought, my god
Nothing stops the Cardinals from keeping Reddick. As I have said repeatedly the Cardinals have as much cap space as they want because they had some little committed beyond this year in contracts and dead cap space.

We need not just pass rush, but run stopping. Seems decent to me.

As @Chopper0080 has demonstrated on a number of occasions, the Cardinals can carve out quite a bit of cap space this year. All of the good teams do this nearly every season.
The Cardinals can still resign Reddick and probably also bring in a starting caliber center as well. What sucks is that CB might end up being a bargain basement position...

Reportedly $23 million is guaranteed.

there’s no way Reddick comes back, IMO. To give this amount of cash, in a cap strapped year across the league, to an aging and oft injured former superstar is mind boggling to me.

Chandler, we need you on the other side this year.....
