Ten Guys who are About to Play Their Final Game as a Cardinal

Cannot see any of the guys listed playing for the Cards next season…maybe Breaston, but there are so many other positions that need to be addressed, so the money should be spent on LBs, O-Line, the Secondary, and draft picks.

He and Sendlein are our 2 best linemen, and neither one is terrible. Lutui is actually better than average in both run and pass blocking. In a perfect world, Brandon Keith makes the jump from decent to above average RT (don’t know if he’ll ever be elite, but I’ll take above average), we move Levi Brown in to LG (I think he would be a monster G), and draft or sign an elite LT, and keep Lutui and Sendlein. That would give us a line as follows:
Elite LT, Levi Brown, Sendlein, Lutui, Keith. I think we can have a pretty solid line if all of that falls into place.

Are there any other FA WR’s on the market worth looking at?

All I can think of is us drafting A.J, Green and letting Steve Breaston go.

I don’t think it would be terrible if he was gone. He’ll command pretty good money as a FA, and I’m not sure we need to spend the money on WR with Fitz, Doucet (when healthy), Roberts, Komar, and S Will in the stable. WR is one of those positions where you can find some stellar candidates later in the draft.

I think Lutui will stay too, he has played well this year.

(smirk)
I hope we can keep him because he is a high character guy who hustles. That’s a presence important keeping around the locker room.
We might keep Watson just because he will be our primary depth behind Williams and he knows the system after B-Rob retires.

Not sure about Porter. I’m thinking the team would still need him as backup. I think Gabe should stay to provide depth at the NT position and since he’s familiar with the system.

Ben Patrick may not be a great TE but he’s our best TE and a good one also. I think he will be kept since the team can’t afford to draft another TE with all our needs at OL and Defense.

Money Mike has very much improved this year, sure he’s a still a liability in coverage at times, but less then before, not to mention his tackling is better then most. 15 pass deflections is pretty darn good for a nickel back, and Whiz had high praise for him, so I don’t think he’s going anywhere.

Deuce and Breaston are crucial to this team, imo and I don’t think they will be let go.

Lutui is the best player on the offensive line. No way they want him to walk. Faneca is done. He only had a one year contract anyway.

Porter and Hayes. One or both probably gone.

Patrick and Spach. Meh. Who cares? The guy selling sno cones in the parking lot could play tight end in this offense. It would be nice if they do upgrade. Dray has had a lot of play time for a 7th rounder.

Watson and Robinson. Robinson is gone. He signed a one year contract to come in and mentor Williams. Watson might manage to stay on the team as the back up. Might not.

Michael Adams’ play is greatly improved this season over last. He is the best tackler in our secondary. His only major failing is size. The Cardinals’ roster is loaded with DBs that couldn’t overtake they guy. Don’t see the Cardinals jettison Adams lightly but also don’t see him as a guaranteed guy either.

Breaston. They better god damn pay Breaston. This crap about him being a #3 WR is nonsense. He’s been the most clutch player on offense all season. I can’t imagine for a second that Whisenhunt wants Boobs to even sniff free agency. If Breaston goes it will be the fault of the FO.

Tim Hightower. Too many fumbles. Don’t see them putting up a big fight to keep him. On the other hand Beanie hasn’t pushed him out the door with his play either.

Anderson / Hall. We’ve already seen their last games.

Breaston Watson and Money Mike will be back. I am still not certain Hall won’t be kept as a cheap number 3 Hightower should be retained unless they sign someone superior.

Not sure why B Rob is here now,

Porter & Fanaca head about 10 miles to the Northwest, Sun City is a nice place

Hayes will be missed but it is probably time

Patrick and Spach, doubt any one will notice

Lutui, most overrated guy on the roster, won’t hurt my feelings if he is gone

Anderson, I will dancing in the street when he is gone.

Can we add Bill Davis to the list, please

Which RB’s become FA’s this year?

Hayes and Porter- I said at the beginning of the year that Hayes would be gone and you should have seen the backlash. It was like I had said Kurt Warner or something. Porter is just washed up. He has not lived up to billing (or maybe he has according to Miami fans).
Lutui and Faneca- There is no way he leaves. His riff with Whiz was about money and his eventual weight gain. Don’t confuse money with semantics. Faneca pulls well, but that’s it. His pass blocking is definitely on decline. He was brought for his rep and to be that extra coach on the field (didn’t help AT ALL).
Patrick and Spach- I’ve rooted for Patrick since he was drafted. I’ve done smarter things. He has hit his ceiling which is pretty low if I might add. Spach, I still like but don’t know why. Can someone help me with this one?
Watson and B-Rob- Sponge Bob Square Back has done nothing to even be a good back up on this team. I won’t miss him. B-Rob just needs to retire to save face from being cut.
Money Mike must stay. Too much heart. If you’re gonna use his liability in coverage (which is perfectly understandable because of his position) as a reason to let him loose, than you must also use that same logic with A-Dub, another DB. Its only fair, right? Money Mike is good in run support and has a nose for the ball. He is also the man on special teams.
Breaston- He is our oldest WR and although I would love to keep him here, I’m fine with him leaving. To me Early gets a pass on his health for this season. DA threw him into bad positions all season. As a trooper he tried to still reel in the catch but paid the price for it. Even Skelton does a better job of keeping his receivers clean. Which leads to my next point.
DA and Max- must go. Period.

It seems pretty split on whether he sucks or he’s the best player on the OL. Very interesting

Said that the Cardinals are going to want Deuce Lutui back, but it depends on what Deuce Lutui wants.

Also, he said that if Alan Faneca doesn’t retire, then he can see him in a Cardinals uniform next season.

I hope beyond hope that they can retain Steve Breaston. If and that is a big if Early can stay heathy then Breaston can go back to the slot and that would make for a more formitable WR roster. I think it a shame to stick with a guy, develope him just to loose him to free agencey.
