Per MJ & Twitter, Rey Maualuga headed to AZ for a visit

I would love this. What a great fit next to Washington.

 

[TJ]

Cool. Would be a great signing.

 

[Cheesebeef]

this would be a nice signing, but i can't get excited about FA visits anymore.

 

[Buckybird]

Rey Rey is a solid player nothing more IMO. Has never played up to the hype he had at SC.

 

[pacman]

Wow. I've always been a fan of Maualuga. A very underrated MLB imo. Him alongside D Wash would be amazing.

 

[Cards Czar]

Get him in the office and don't let him leave!

 

[WarnerHOF]

haven't watched him play, but only 60 solo tackles last year and his stats on pff are horrendous

i would rather have dan connor

This...

I always invision the Cardinals FA visit kind of like those Star Tour Busses in Hollywood as the player is en-route to their true final desitation.

"If you look out your window on your left you will see the Arizona Cardinals headquaters neslted in between camelback mountain and..."

Struggled as a 4-3 MLB in coverage and would be ask to cover more here in a 3-4.

He's one of the worst LB's in the league. But on the bright side he gets us closer to Clowney/Bridgewater.

Yep peeps get excited about Rey Rey because of his name & hype he had at SC. He's probably a player along the lines of Lenon or even worse.

really? it seems SILb in a 3-4 has fewer coverage responsibilities

Not if he's going to continue to play the role that Paris Lenon performed the last couple of years. Paris rarely ventured deeper than 5 yards from the LOS. Horton tended to ask Washington and Acho make the coverage plays.

+1 for this. He is garbage who got a lot of exposure in college and makes the occasional highlight film hit. We'd be better with Reggie Walker.

I'm really getting irked when each time we're considering a new player, a hater comes out of the woodwork exclaiming that the dude is the lousiest, incompetent scumbag ever to don a football uniform.

From thence forward, whenever one of these players is mentioned, I can't get rid of the sour smell.

C'mon guys. Everyone can't suck. Otherwise there'd be no NFL.

I never said he's a bad guy. He's just a horrible linebacker that's all... Nothing personal.

Why do we seem to go 5-11 three out of every five years then?

He's been pretty good IMO.

Not a pro bowler but he's a good player.

I always worried about him staying out of trouble but hopefully he's matured.

Yep but as long as it's a cheap 1 year deal it wouldn't be the worst thing ever

no cheap one year deals on day one of free agency

Interesting because both Marvin Lewis and Mike Zimmer publicly stated they HAVE to find a way to keep him.

Coach Marvin Lewis told NFL.com that Maualuga is someone “you got to get back in the fold” while defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer compared losing Maualuga with the departure of defensive lineman Justin Smith several years ago.

“He is, as you will find out when this free agency period starts, a lot better than what a lot of people give him credit for,” Zimmer said, via the team’s website. “I think that’s going to be what people are going to find out if he goes. If he’s not here people are going to miss him and say we should have had him. That’s how it works, like Justin Smith.”

I admit I haven't seen him play too much the last 2 years since he changed positions but it would appear the guys who coached him want to keep him.

Apparently per Cincy media, the Ravens are expected to be involved with him.

You're proving my point. They're nearly 50m under the cap and not bringing him back.
