Jordan Hicks to the Arizona Cardinals
- Thread starter Ronin
- Start date
I wouldn't say they solved their problem at right tackle quite yet.

Guess you didn’t watch him in college. He had a fractured foot as a sophomore, season ending hip injury his junior season, and ruptured his Achilles (not the one he tore in Philadelphia) the following year.
To be fair to Hicks, he did return his redshirt senior year and played every game which helped him get drafted in the 2nd round.

jeez... I knew about the Achilles with the Eagles, but didn't know about the season ending Achilles and hip injuries in college as well. some bodies just aren't built to take the pounding of the sport.
At least he's young (26) and not 33 years old.

Great linebacker when healthy ...and that's the issue...fortunately the only issue.

LOL! Every one of those signings have HUGE ?'s
That's not filling needs...that's getting guys and crossing fingers.

Is there any guarantee any player signed won`t get hurt.Some guys plays years for a team and never miss games then get hurt somewhere else.Its all a gamble.

Yep but there wasn't enough money to go around to cover every position of need.

it's more of a gamble when the guys you're depending on are perpetually injured and you're plan perpetually depends on that... and that plan has blown up in your face the last three seasons. Those that ignore the past are doomed to repeat it.
starting caliber, never injured players rarely hit FA and when they do, they get 17m a year like Mosley did.

I was looking for something more positive in the Hicks signing. This is it.

Fair point.I don`t know how SK evaluates his potential signings /draft picks.I would think health/reliability/availability all play into the equation along with cost/team chemistry/scheme fit/etc;.All those things should be considered and one would hope the Cards have done their due diligence on their signings.

Another talented injury prone player. Guess we will just have to be watching the trainers table.
FTFY
Wasn't he playing through an ankle injury all last year?
Has he signed somewhere else yet?
And he only played in 12 games last year, had over 90 tackles and 3 sacks. This is another positive for me.

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
Don’t think so...
They could always pick him back up again, which I honestly think they will do if he hasn't signed any where else.

Brandon Marshall has missed parts of two seasons due to injuries....hence why he is available.
