Anyone else excited for the Sun Devil Stadium days to return? Maybe Mikey can open the roof and turn off the AC (Cha-Ching). Then we can really have the true 1997 experience.
The team that doesn't want to overpay and that players don't want to come play for is going to have to do a lot of work to fill out a roster for that year.No, that's basically a 1 year deal, too.
This is true PA! LOL! I love old school style logos. I don't see this one often with the current regime, but I think it's awesome.FYI, love the avatar! I was a Sixers fan in the mid to late 60’s when Chamberlain & Hal Greer were kicking butt. When the Sixers traded Wilt & became irrelevant, I fell in love with the Knicks under Frazier, Reed, DeBusshere, Bradley, and Earl the Pearl. Still a Knicks fan to this day, but rooting for the Cardinals & Knicks all these years is as close to martyrdom as a person can be lol.
I don't know. It seems like it's just going to be pretty balanced and mediocre. I think a division can be weak (looking at you NFC and AFC Souths), but not a conference. One of these teams is going to make the Super Bowl and achieve immortality regardless.
San Francisco will be good. Philly and Minnesota will be good. Dallas will probably be good.
This is the key fact. Three teams from the NFC East made the playoffs last year. The Commies were contending for a playoff berth through Week 16. I think they controlled their own destiny up to that point.
I think it's fair to be flexible in scheme, accepting it's not "the system works," but knowing that you have guys who need to do certain things and do it well to fit something of a philosophy.I thought they were going to build the scheme around the talents of the players available?
Allen could be a really good 4-3 DT, where he was effect for the... checks notes... Arizona Cardinals. Byron Murphy was effective playing outside the past two seasons for the... quick google search... Arizona Cardinals.
Trading DHop actually saves cap money if done this year.
People complaining about shedding bad contracts are complaining because we're not doing that. If we dump Zach Ertz (age 33) and James Conner (age 28) right now we'd eat nearly $20 million in dead money and save about $3 million on this years cap. But then we'd be done with them and clear the 2024 cap and beyond. That's how you start a rebuild.
Oops, sorry man, I answered well behind the horn - I'm with ya.I agree...I do think, however, guys like Ertz and Conner will be on the chopping block after the draft. For Ertz, it may not be until he's healthy to practice, so they don't have to do an injury settlement.
According to Spotrac, for Ertz a Pre-June cut this year is only a $2.6 million savings, with $10 million dead cap...However, after June 1st a cut this year is a $6.6 cap savings, with $6 million dead in 2023 and $4 million dead in 2024. it could be they are waiting to see what other players get designated as June 1st cuts??? Darius Slay??? If they trade Ertz after June 1 this year, dead cap is $2 million this year and $4 million 2024, with a cap savings of $10.6 million this year.
Conner is more interesting: Pre-June 1st Release: Dead cap 2023 $9.75 Million, Cap Savings just $695k. Post June 1st Release: Dead Cap $7.75 million in 2023 and $2 million in 2024. Pre-June 1st Trade: $4 million dead cap and $6.445 cap savings. Post June 1st Trade: $2 million dead in 2023 and 2024 with $8.445 million in cap savings.
It seems to me for Conner there is trade flexibility for the Cards to move him pre-June 1st and eat some of the potential cap savings.
After 30+ years of being a diehard Cardinals fan, my obsession with the team ended last season. I no longer read every article about the team. I no longer let a loss ruin my day (or week). I lost all hope for this team. I’ll be happy if they ever attain greatness but I’m not holding my breath.Is @Cardsmasochist still around?
Four years ago he was overdrafted. Two years ago we overdrafted a slot corner.4 years ago he was the #1 pick of the 2nd round.
2 years ago he was a top slot corner.
5 INT's, 5 Fumble Recoveries, 2 defensive TD's, 184 tackles, 5 TFL's and he's from the damn city we play in.
This is zombie level idiocy on behalf of this organization. You do not let go of CB's this young with his level of ball skills. Not when it's clear he was cheap and could have been kept.
So u re not a masochist anymore, time to change your usernameAfter 30+ years of being a diehard Cardinals fan, my obsession with the team ended last season.

The Cardinals have a couple of good seasons/decade followed by a free fall and years of floundering. As someone else pointed out: Michael Bidwill might have a burning desire to win but just really doesn’t know how. He sucks at it. This latest player survey just confirms it.
Ertz isn't getting cut. $10 million in dead money is dead money even if spread out. He could have trade value at the deadline or after the season since he'll only cost a new team $7 million next season.I agree...I do think, however, guys like Ertz and Conner will be on the chopping block after the draft.

Cardsapathetic?
Are you a masochist or not???Cardsfairweatherfan for now. It’s not worth the anguish

Any of those teams can easily be beaten in a one-game playoff scenario with their respective QB situations.
Tanking is the epitome of dumb when 7 of 16 teams makes the single elimination tournament every year.
Yes. Where will we find a quarterback who can go toe to toe with Geno Smith and Brock Purdy in this division?Doesn't really matter how weak the NFC is overall when Kyler is likely to miss a significant part of the season and probably not be close to 100% until the following year.
The worst part is not that new regime didn't keep a player who is young and talented CB.
The worst part is that the local home grown boy likely doesn't want to do anything with that local franchise anymore.....
Right! The old "be positive or be a fan of some other team!" scthick. One step removed from questioning fandom. Some folks really run with their BCFS (Battered Cards Fan Syndrome).If its such a chore to be a fan of the Cards for some people then why not just root for someone else? Simple as that.
Why not just be a bandwagon fan, you mean?Im not asking you to create anything. Im just wondering my a person would put themselves through such pain. Its obvious there are a few truly miserable people here due to the cardinals.
Why not just bail?
no no no, i get being disgruntled.Why not just be a bandwagon fan, you mean?
This is the worst “analysis” I’ve ever seen on ASFN and that’s saying something.Okay. One move in FA ruined the rest of the off-season. I see how the dark side think now.
This is the worst “analysis” I’ve ever seen on ASFN and that’s saying something.
Unless you count Murphy and Allen as “one move.” That’s some very cardinals logic. And every other signing that technically were available to the cardinals and might’ve factored into their future have to be taken into account as well, at some level. But yeah, “one move” . . . lol.
