Official Cardinals Re-signing and FA signing tracker

[MadCardDisease]

Are you really changing the culture for the better by bringing in a domestic violence suspendee… and then rewarding him with a raise after doing Jack and squat last year?

Yeah I don’t understand the re-signing of Jones.

Have to hit the minimum cap spend floor

Pretty sure that’s a myth when it seems like multiple teams are nearly $100m in cap space every year.

Roy Lopez going to Detroit.

Lot of people here liked him. I guess we are definitely going DT in the draft.

 

[CardsFan88]

The need inside is so strong, every GM will know just who to jump in the draft to make sure they get their DT.

If you don't think every team knows who is drafting who I got news for you

He was a good rotational piece. He was a player playing on a minimum contract making the most of it.

Sad to see him go, but at the same time definately not irreplaceable.

I'm guessing that Monti didn't want to re-sign a player at the buttom of the roster at this point with free agency going on and a draft heavy on DL.

Okay. So I guess Lopez is expendable.
We will just draft a rookie and plug him in while hoping Robinson is healthy and steps up.

Pretty sure we still have a few vet DL on the roster. One would hope that Jones plays this year. He was supposed to be starter last year when they got him off the couch. I do believe.

A player playing on veteran minimum is per definition expendable IMO. Me liking him doesn't make him less expendable.

But the point I was trying to make was that this comes down to counting to 53. How many DL of the 53?

Monti missed out on Williams and Allen, so I assume adding a DT is still the plan. Sweat was signed. Given the draft, I can easily see 2 DL drafted. Take the players already on the roster with BJ coming back. Does Lopez even have a roster spot after that? And even if the spot is there, do we need a Lopez, a Dimukeje or Ben Stille at that 3rd string spot?

the room is pretty full. I liked Lopez,...but other guys are already under contract and we should have a top rookie that needs that roster spot soon.

 

[Stout]

Swing and a miss by monti.

But the big takeaway is that he TRIED.

Bills land Joey Bosa

Veteran pass rusher doesn't join forces with his brother, Nick.

We couldn't have used Bosa for $12.6 mil on a 1 year contract?

That would be about $2 million/game played.

 

[Harry]

Roy Lopez going to Detroit.

Strongly indicates the Cards will go DT on day one, though with 3 good ones likely on the board they may move down. I’d stay put and take Grant but if they can go down and pick up another 2 even by adding their picks (even 2026); I’d be okay with that.

the reality is that the team has to find out what they have in BJ Ojulari

even a "B" level pass rusher on a rookie contract is valuable -- so you have to give him snaps and see if he is a B level or better player.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

The only WR I wanted in free agency was Slayton.
The Cards will probably address the slot WR in the draft.
I don’t have a problem with the Jones re-signing.

Same. No issues with Jones and he should be given the opportunity to earn the 3rd/4th WR spot. Now if Pascal is back for year 3, then there's a problem. The 5th/6th spot could be upgraded by the Cards signing just about anyone off the street.

I don’t believe losing Lopez is catastrophic by any means. Like you, he seemed to be a player who’s name was called out more than some.

Obviously the staff thinks more for the current DLinemen on the roster. Lopez is not going to change the course of the season. He certainly came off as a hardworking lunchpail type of players. I guess the Lions see something in him.

 

[SoonerLou]

Amari Cooper, Stefon Diggs, (soon to be) Cooper Kupp, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Elijah Moore, Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Brandin Cooks, Tyler Boyd, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyler Lockett, Diontae Johnson (yes really), Van Jefferson, Nelson Agholor, Robert Woods, Jamison Crowder, DJ Chark, Noah Brown.

Yea the problem with Zay is he's not really a slot guy and not known as a deep speed guy either. And thus far has proven no real chemistry with Kyler or a fit in this offense yet.

Would it shock anyone if Weaver or a late round draft pick is eventually playing more than him?

Still I'll hope for the best.

Just like Im hoping Monti badly misjudging the DT market is going to force him to draft a stud DT in the 1st round. A blessing in disguise because thats all I can hope for right now.

I agree. Loved what he brought to the table. Would have loved to have him back.

But he would have objectively been DL #8-#10 after free agency and draft. I would not re-sign him until June when I would know if there is a spot or not to fill
