Josh Jones traded to the Houston Texans

[RON_IN_OC]

at Monti's success rate, we are getting back a 2nd and a 4th for Kyler.

Almost got it right...It will be Kyler and a 4th from AZ, for a 2nd.

Sheesh all the draft picks including three from Houston now. This doesn't even include the 4th round comp pick they'll for Zach Allen I don't think.

Jakester, when things look bad this season, periodically roll out the above.

P.S. Any comp pick for Murphy?

What is this guy doing, going all out to get the least compensation he possibly can? Simmons for a 7th is a farce--just keep him because he is better than whoever is replacing him at the bottom of the roster. Trading Jones for next to nothing? Why not wait with him until later, when a team loses a tackle to injury so you can, I dunno, maximize the return? This after fluffling the Nuk situation. Sheesh.

Money might be a factor with Simmons.

In truth...I feel like the compensation for Jones is fine. I don't think that I would have made the deal. I don't believe the Cardinals are in a roster crunch and teams tend to get desperate for OTs as the season progresses so I would have held out for more. I am more irritated that they traded Jones to the Texans, but whatever.

 

[Chopper0080]

This is another situation where I question the timing of the move more than anything. Most of the league is short on OL depth...why not wait for injuries to occur to drive up value?

Not if he plays like he did this Preseason. Oh that's right you don't watch those.

Summary: He was awful!

Always smart to sell something at it's lowest value. Exactly what they taught Monti in business school I am sure.

Sadly I think Simmons Value is only going further down from here. Are you suggesting that the Giants are going to flip him for a higher draft pick?

All I can say is …. Meh.

Do you think that the Giants are going to get more snaps out of Simmons than we will from our 2024 seventh-round pick?

I would rather forego the 7th round pick than trade a guy after his worst game in 4 years.

 

[Chopper0080]

Monti just traded a 5th rounder for Josh Dobbs, on an expiring deal, in a year they are trying to lose.

I win.

 

[AZCB34]

Monti playing 3D chess baby! HOU playing checkers!

Given Cardinals history it is reversed

The Giants are going to try and play Simmons at LB. We've seen that before.


Following Arizona’s Thursday morning dealing of the safety to the New York Giants for a 2024 seventh-round pick, Jordan Raanan, who covers the Giants for ESPN, said the plan for Simmons moving forward is to move him back to linebacker.

“We thought there was some upside there,” Giants head coach Brian Dabboll told reporters Thursday without giving too many specifics on where he might play. “We’ll put him, we’ll ask him to do quite a bit of things just to see what he takes to, but he’s a guy that’s athletic, explosive, has good size. I’ve seen him do multiple things. … Certainly happy to have him.”

This was Simmons talking about what he told the new Cardinals staff about playing LB:

“That was one of the first things they asked me, ‘Where do you see yourself?’ I told them I didn’t want to play linebacker,” Simmons said on Aug. 7. “There’s just things in there that you get thousands and thousands of reps at this point that I never saw before and it was my first time doing it.

“I just felt more comfortable getting back to things that I have done in the past and just kind of ran off with that.”


How long do you think Simmons will last at LB?

 

[Snakester]

Monti is an idiot. He’s making Steve Keim look brilliant. None of the three moves that he made were good and only made the team worse.

It honestly doesn't matter. I'm sure that Simmons thought that Bill Davis was a clown and was happier hanging with the safeties here.

Now his chance to hang around the NFL is to play linebacker. He's not Buster Davis out there. He can play in the NFL, even if it's as a nickel linebacker.

You might be going a little too far here.

Heh if you like seeing a LB who blows coverages in the nickel all day long, sure.

Worst game in four years?!?!

Remember the Chiefs game last year?!?!

 

[MadCardDisease]

But that was the literally the reason that the Cardinals drafted him. They couldn't cover a TE to save their lives and Simmons was supposed to be the solution.

 

[Chopper0080]

OK. I am done talking about Simmons on the Josh Jones thread.

 

[Chopper0080]

Summary. Ok compensation but poor timing.

Mods: This thread can now be closed.

 

[QuebecCard]

If Jones plays it means Tunsil is out and that's good news for the Cards.

 

[oaken1]

Josh Jones will play more snaps this season than Josh Dobbs

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Jones and a 7th for Texans 5th.

Lol. Where all those peeps calling for a 3rd rounder or better for this guy?!? Lol. Monti doing WORK (for what return, doesn’t look like much). Lol. This organization . . .
