Seriously.. Has there ever been a team that never made a move? It is highly doubtful they would make zero moves..

I think this FA period is going to be unlike anything we have seen before given the number of teams with large amounts of cap space.

This will go down as one of the dumbest threads EVER.

No team ever sat and did nothing during FA.

Next time make a post that say's, "What if the Cardinals refuse to show up for preseason games?"

the preseason game scenerio is more likely than the other..

...now i wonder why i wasted my time typing here...I'm out

I believe 1 of either Samuels, Clement, Briggs or Thomas will be signed. Not to mention at least a few mid tier/backup types to go with them........

Thank you, this thread is idiotic. If we don't use a certain amount of our cap space we'll get fined by the league. Plus we finished 5-11 last year, why would we not make any moves? If you think it was all due to bad coaching your sadly mistaken

The only move I know I want us to make in free agency is to re-sign Leonard Davis. After that, I don't care. Most of our FA acquisitions don't work out.

But beyond that, we don't know what system and schemes Whisenhunt will run and it's important to match the talent to the scheme. Just throwing out names of good players to target is message board stuff, not necessarily a good way to build a team.

And devilfan02, avoid the insults like "idiocy."

Pretty much agree with you on this. Number one prioity is to keep Davis. I hope they do that. IMO they will add some additional free agents to add depth and competition but not any of the so called big name free agents.

I'll refrain from calling this thread idiotic, but it is pointless. Since it is illegal under the rules of the salary cap for us to do nothing, we will be FORCED to sign FAs. Why? We have huge chunks of cap space that we have to eat up to even spend to the minimum limit. Ergo, this thread is pointless.

There should be an option 5 on this poll: "Criticize Bill Bidwill for being cheap". Even if all of the big names are franchised or never even talk to the Cards, a few people on this board and a significant fraction of the general public (including reporters) will blame the lack of success on Bill Bidwill.

The whole 'cooling off' period Graves came out and publicly stated we used. That was a while ago, and clearly not how it worked last year.

That was a pre-Green quote by Graves. He said they liked to have a "cooling off" period after a free agent visit before they made an offer. They haven't done that for a while now.

to answer the question posed...not too good....let's pick up some "good" solid guys....not looking for a home run...take two doubles for each homer...and let's see what the staff can do with them....realistically going to 9-7 or 10-6 would be terrific.
