Because he is a good run blocker, I would like to have him. If he doesn't like our offer, I am fine with draft a RG and bringing back Watford on a cheap deal to compete.

Not a bad option as the draft is suppose to be strong on interior OLs.

Iupati takes a pay cut but would still like us to sign Pugh.

Cardinals LG Mike Iupati agreed to a $3 million pay cut.
He agreed to shave $2.75 million off his base salary and gave up the $250,000 roster bonus which would have been due on Friday. His contract is also now voidable in 2019, which is currently scheduled to be the final year of his contract. The restructure should keep him on the roster, but this is the definition of a make-or-break season for Iupati in Arizona. Mar 15 - 9:13 AM

DJ Fluker is an option as well, he is going to visit the Seahawks over the next few days, if Justin Pugh decides he doesn't want to take the offer.

4 year contract for a player that is known to be injury prone, and a poor tackle is a good deal for Pugh, not sure what he thinks he is going to get elsewhere. But, that is NFL free agency for you, someone will pay/over pay.

I don't know if I want any OL player who would sink so low as to sign a contract with the Cards.

I will help you out with out. You do want players to sign with your football team. I base that on the complaints you have written about the state of the team you support, and how they do not sign the right players, or talent good enough to make you want to support the team.

If you were to actually hope that no players sign on the team you would literally be kicking your own ass since you are upset that the Cardinals do not sign players, and now are saying you do not want players to sign with the team. You are bringing your own suffering upon yourself, and you do not want to do that.

So, hopefully this clears up your conundrum, and makes you want to have players come sign for the team your support, and that this improves the team that is giving you such stress because of their speculated disaster that this up coming season will be.

Hope that helps.

Once he leaves, hes gone.

It shouldn’t take this long to sign if he really wants to be here. Screw him and let’s persue someone else.

You are confusing me with some other poster. I've never complained in the fashion you are assigning to me: "I base that on the complaints you have written about the state of the team you support, and how they do not sign the right players, or talent good enough to make you want to support the team. etc." That description belongs to someone else.

Also, I need to give credit to the origin of my original comment that has you so outraged:

Not outraged at all. Any emotion put towards the post, is from yourself.

Obviously, the post was me just trying to logic out a Groucho Marx reference that may not have been referenced so well by the original poster. You take it at face value and the response makes sense.

#groucho or the photo helps you know. Without that, all I have to go on is the text on the screen.

Regardless, good to know you haven't completely lost it, because it had me scratching my head.

As for you denying your complaints, then apologies, since I am not going to go research if I am confused so I take your word for it.

Sad thing is I love the Marx Brothers so there is egg on my face on a old, but known reference. Yet, it is an old reference, which as maddening to say this since the Marx Brothers are classic comedy that many modern day comedians were influenced by, but some younger people are not going to know what you are talking about (which is sad for them). I was just lucky enough to be raised by a man that understood how good they were.

.....so forgive me if I call you Captain Spaulding from here on out. LOL #AnimalCrackers

How often does a player "visit" the Cards then actually sign here?

I'd like Smith @ G better then RT

A guy who watched lot of Cincinnati games said he is much better at tackle
Probably we just see him a bit overweight to handle speed rusher but his strenght is the running game
And thats Wilks main goal, running the football effectively, demoralizing the defense
And thats why iupati is still a cardinal

Say What?

I'm the original poster. There is no way to take the Groucho-inspired line at face value and then compose a sensible response.

#groucho or the photo helps you know. Without that, all I have to go on is the text on the screen.

Regardless, good to know you haven't completely lost it, because it had me scratching my head.

Say what? You are worried that I lost it? Suggest that you just laugh-off that you took the bait and move on. Better than this tortured reply that you were worried that I completely lost it.

As for you denying your complaints, then apologies, since I am not going to go research if I am confused so I take your word for it.

Might be a good idea to do the check on a poster's previous comments and history before launching an attack. Even after I point out to you that you have me confused with some other poster(s), you still don't go back and find out who you were responding to in your attack?

Sad thing is I love the Marx Brothers so there is egg on my face on a old, but known reference.

There's more than just egg on your face.

Yet, it is an old reference, which as maddening to say this since the Marx Brothers are classic comedy that many modern day comedians were influenced by, but some younger people are not going to know what you are talking about (which is sad for them). I was just lucky enough to be raised by a man that understood how good they were.

Old reference made by an old poster. Plenty of Marx Brothers quotes and scenes from their movies on Youtube for young whippersnappers to enjoy.

.....so forgive me if I call you Captain Spaulding from here on out. LOL #AnimalCrackers

And I will refer to you as Margaret Dumont. (PS Just let it go.)
