Bear Down Wildcats

Time to start this thread I guess.

The best I can tell this is the list of players who's contracts are up.

Dan Williams
John Abraham
Antonio Cromartie
Mike Leach
Robert Housler
Sam Acho
Bradley Sowell
Larry Foote
Tommy Kelly
Jonathan Dwyer
Paul Fanaika
Anthony Walters
Alameda Ta'amu
Ryan Lindley
Cameron Bradfield

Lindley and Ginn shouldn't even get a ticket to come back on the team plane.

And the special teams coach.

RIP 2014 cardinals.

I can't hate on Lindley to that level, he is what he is. Agree completely with Ginn - i wasn't thrilled when we picked him up, guys that bounce around that much typically do so for a reason.

Other guy I would love to see gone (via trade) is Floyd. Yes, he's got talent, but the guy disappears for a month at a time and appears to be a complete diva. On the defensive holding/PI call that wasn't called, he actually could have made a play on the ball but instead chose to try and draw the penalty - which I could excuse if it wasn't in keeping with a pattern of not diving for catchable balls all season. I'd be fine with rolling out there with Fitz (assuming we can restructure), Brown, and Brown as the top 3 receivers.

Dan Williams - depends on how much $$ he wants....he's only ever been able to be a rotational player. If he wants rotational money, fine.
John Abraham - retired or not, won't be back
Antonio Cromartie - Mixed feelings here. If numbers are reasonable, let's have him back, but not worth breaking the bank for. He's on the downside of his career and had several busted coverages but probably still better than anybody on the roster or anybody else we could go get.
Mike Leach - should re-sign if he wants to keep playing, retirement would be the only threat I think
Robert Housler - let the Tan Man go, he's just been too inconsistent.
Sam Acho - Good guy, hope they keep him as he seems to be a good rotational/2nd string guy but not an impact starter.
Bradley Sowell - whatevs
Larry Foote - Hope he returns for reasonable bank
Tommy Kelly - Ditto
Jonathan Dwyer - uh, no
Paul Fanaika - hopefully Cooper takes his spot. Replaceable.
Anthony Walters - who?
Alameda Ta'amu - did he ever see the field this year after his injury?
Ryan Lindley - gone
Cameron Bradfield - who?

The cool thing about Keim is that he's been so good at filling holes that I don't see anybody on this list as irreplaceable, even though if money was no object would definitely want Williams, Leach, Cromartie, Acho, Foote, and Kelly back.

What I thought was interesting today was that Arians had more positive comments about Daryl Washington returning than I would have thought.

Todd Bowles takes the Jets job

Bring on Dick Lebeau.

Listened to Oehler and Jurecki this afternoon - Jurecki said the Cardinals have someone in mind but they won't tell him anything.

He hinted at Fangio:

SF hired their DL coach. Pretty laughable hire.

Bring on Fangio or Lebeau. Either would be great replacements for Bowles in my book.

There's talk that Lebeau would be a consultant like Moore.

This would be pretty much amazing all around then if both came.

Report: Cardinals pushing to land Adrian Peterson

http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantas ... n-peterson

Adrian Peterson may find a new home with the Cardinals this offseason. According to a report by Yahoo Sports' Rand Getlin, the Cardinals released Darnell Dockett in order to clear salary space to swing a deal for the Vikings running back.

What do you think?

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 3m3 minutes ago
Mike Iupati's deal with Arizona: 5 yrs, $40M, plus incentives up to $41M with $22.5M guaranteed.

Shouldn't Peterson be serving a long jail sentence?

Well, the AZ government did just slash funding to the child safety department, so I guess Peterson will do just fine living in AZ.

Isn't that the guy who beats children with a switch? I prefer the dog killer types. Or maybe a player that dangles old women over the alligator exhibit at the zoo.

That's the one, but it doesn't matter if you can kick a touchdown.

Second half looks much tougher than the first. Going to need to do really well early to have a shot at playoffs again.

Just an awful pick.

Maybe picked so they can package something in a trade?

Keim went BPA on his board. Humphries seems to have a lot of upside, but I dont think they trust Massie at all.

I feel like I watched a bunch of the pass rushers film highlights on ESPN tonight and there was Humphries getting burned left and right. Got the Levi Brown 2.0 feeling reading about Humphries and if he doesn't beat Massie out of camp than the pick is a massive failure considering the window of this team.

I wanted Gregory or someone who can get to the cornerback. Figure he can be not only an impact player, but one who fills a big need.

Keim has actually seemed to know what he's doing so far, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here.

I watched Shane Ray's tape on youtube against Florida. Thought Humphries looked pretty good. Also, I think Jurecki sent out the tweet last night that everyone kept talking about how he dominated Dupree in the UK game.

Im always for BPA. However, I was pissed when Denver jumped ahead of us for Ray.

Didnt see the Humphries pick coming, but if he's the last piece to a dominant offensive line, then we are gonna look real good. If hes a bust... then... Keim hasnt done much at all with his #1 picks.

Not a fan of the pick either, but then again there really wasn't anyone on the board I was crazy about at the time. Wouldn't have minded at all if they traded up for someone they really really liked since I don't think this class is particularly deep

Just not loving this draft. At least Markus fills a need, but he doesn't impress. Would have wanted Harold or Gregory.

Nevermind original post. Completely mixed up my players. I actually like our pick here.

On a side note, the Pac12 KILLED in the first round, 9 picks.

The Cards will be picking "Mr. Irrelevant" today. (Last player in the draft, #256, compensatory pick). Six picks total today.

I'd like to see them take a flyer on Bondurant late in the draft (or sign him as a FA). Guy just makes plays.

I'd like to see Hundley to you guys for selfish reasons, but I think the NFL is realizing he can't throw consistently past 15 yards

Do not like Hundley at all. Plus hes not an Arians type QB.

Hundley to Green Bay

Packer.

I like the David Johnson pick

Rey?

Any more ex USC QBs available?

Now that's how you start a game!

108 yards. Untouched. Wow.

A clinic by Fitz today.

Save for the last 2 minutes of the first half, that was a fun game.

The Bears fan in me disagrees.

Cards just got screwed on two calls in a row.

Oh, and Tim McDonald Jr. is still a dirty player. Took out one of his own teammates as well.

What a BS personal foul penalty. Luckily it didn't really matter.

Hochuli and crew are reaming the Cards today. Just missed a blatant PI.

Just an awful game all around

Who had Landry Jones in fantasy football?

This. So many horrid penalties. So many missed throws. So many missed chances.

They didn't need a perfect game. They just needed a clean game.
