Depth I guess

I live in Chicago. Have never heard of this person. He could be good, but the Bears lost 11 straight games and the oline was historically terrible. See Cards v Bears 2024.

Backup swing tackle! 9 career starts at both T and G.

Odd.

Probably insurance if Jonah isn't ready and Beachum has to start.

 

[PJ1]

Isn’t something better than this available after cut downs?….Why bother unless they really see something nobody else does….

 

[MadCardDisease]

Camp body. He sucked in Chicago.

 

[oaken1]

100% camp body

 

[Stout]

:Championship:

 

[PDXChris]

A lot of folks complained about this guy too, but he was a decent backup who filled decently well when needed the last seasons.

Replacing Barton as 5th OT I assume.

Security if Williams is not ready by start of the season?

 

[BritCard]

Cody Barton replacement.

I will say this. The FO are good at finding upside depth guys for little money like Colon. Curhan was drafted as a tackle but never really had the foot speed or balance for the NFL level. You can see in the reply here Brandon Thorns draft profile in reply. Say he's a mauling, high effort guy with limited athleticism that would be more suited to Guard.

But can also play tackle in a pinch so it's a good depth piece. Like Barton, likely a camp bod/ practice squad guy you keep around for depth.

Curhan played 92% of his snaps at guard last year. Could be useful depth on the interior, where the Cardinals' only current backup is Jon Gaines.

Chicago's offensive line play reached a new low on Thursday Night Football.

Sure as hell better not mean we're done at G.

 

[oaken1]

My concern over signing a guy like this is that I am sure much of our improved line play the last couple seasons was due to our Oline coach...and he aint with us no more.

Not sure I see “mauler” there, but not hideous tape.

Wow, “hated bear.” Ouch.

 

[BirdGangThing]

maybe he's our next center

 

[Stout]

Wow, “hated bear.” Ouch.

Sounds like a "bad news" one.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

Camp body. He sucked in Chicago.

He was really bad in Seattle as well

 

[Harry]

Would rather have Barton

 

[GeorgiaCard88]

this smells like a back up swing line player to me.

Which begs to question- are we just hoping that Isiah Adam’s or a new draft pick takes the leap to being a quality starting guard? Not saying he can’t and hope he does- but seems like a real leap of faith with no net below. Given the position we are in regarding the nfc west- would have loved monti to be more aggressive in at least attempting to upgrade this hole.

Looks like the 2024 8-9 Arizona cardinals offense was good enough for monti

1. We are at the finishing stages at the 1st wave of the off-season - out of 5… perhaps a bit too soon to conclude anything. Brown wasn’t added till the 5th wave of the off season last season.

2 Adams still rated as the 5th best G in the NFC west

3. I definitely expect Adam’s to improve like all OL do during the first three years.

4 Monti tried to sign Fries and failed. He was willing to pay 15M+ for an elite G. Clearly still a focus area. But interesting enough, he doesn’t seem like he had any interest in the other FA guards.
