Report: Cardinals Calling Teams Ahead of Trade Deadline for Pass Rush Help

[oaken1]

$30K X 17 games = $510K total

I think that is where you are confusing the $510K bonus. That is the total for all 17 games.

Roster Bonus		Guaranteed Salary		Cap Number	Cap %		Dead Money & Cap Savings Cut (pre-June 1)Cut (post-June 1)Trade (pre-June 1)Trade (post-June 1)RestructureExtension

well that paste sucked..

Yes but it is the total for all of the games. Add up all of the numbers in the row and you should get the total cap hit for 2025.

so cheaper than I thought

Is it on a Wednesday?

Sunday

Smith is 32. Does he have anything left? Honest question. I would give a 5th and get back a 6th.

He has more sacks than our entire group of edge rushers, healthy and on IR combined.

32? man, wow, he has nothing left. 32. Damn, so old, decrepit even. Hope he's taking his statins and daily Aleve, he hasn't much longer!

I’m seeing online that some people apparently got ESPN notification saying Myles Garrett was traded to the Cardinals then it was quickly deleted.. maybe Monti is shooting for a bigger fish than we realize

I saw that too but it looked fake.
would be exciting for sure

Seeing Josh Allen is trending with the Cards on X. The Jags D end I am assuming

That would be pretty expensive, but maybe they are ready to go full rebuild.

That would be pretty expensive, but maybe they are ready to go full rebuild.

The Browns have $45 million in cap space. If they trade him, they take on $35 million in dead space from that $45 million. They are already over thr cap next season with a $72 million hit with Watson. Trading Garrett frees up $35 million next year. They are stuck with Watson for two season after this, so this would help them.

 

[CardNots]

Myles would silence the board demand to do something big. I’m in if nothing else but to have a different gripe about Monti

 

[Goldfield]

It’s time we need help or this team isn’t trying to win

 

[Shane]

Monti wants to see us beat the Bears before he REALLY tries. Or Bidwill flat said hell no...

 

[cardsfanmd]

Conner and Baker, both have contracts ending this year. I've been hearing national buzz about teams wanting them, now. I don't think Monti will bite, but I have no idea what they are offering, or if not traded, will some team offer more than we will pay? Teams have been known to offer crazy contracts to former Cards. Nah, we'll trade for an edge and get Darius back soon and all will be well in Glendale.

It's the new Cardinals. The times they are a-changin'.

I don’t see any realistic way Conner goes anywhere and Buddha would only be moved if it’s something he’s been vocally supporting to the team.

Monti would be a local hero if he could pull this off.

But Gambo already pooped on this idea

Yep.

Which is a helluva thing since we struggle vs mobile QBs.

This may only refer to the alleged ESPN alert.

Here is the tweet for reference. Please forgive if it violates any rules.

I doubt the claims .
But even more so I doubt gambo has any idea who Monti is calling in his office.
A pro bowl level acquisition seems highly unlikely in any event. If we get a player my guess is he is 3rd on somebody's depth chart at best

I've been skeptical as well in the past, but he always seems to get the no answers right concerning the Suns.

I doubt he would put this out without talking to someone in the Cardinals organization.
