Day 2 FA: Beach Day for Cardinals Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Great to see RT Kelvin Beachum back! I bet Kugs, DJ, Pugh & gang are elated. Beach is good people, man! Now, see of you can get a 7th rounder from KC for Marcus Gilbert. Or any other team for that matter.— Walter B J Mitchell (@WBJMItch) March 16, 2021 When the Cardinals’ OLC Sean Kugler indicated that 2020 3rd round pick T Josh Jones has the versatility to play guard, some of us were wondering whether that meant he wanted Kelvin Beachum to return in 2021. Indeed, that is the case, as the Cardinals re-signed Beachu...

Pats, Bucs Dominate Day 1 of Free Agency The very best NFL teams play and conduct their business with a pressing sense of urgency. Is it any surprise that 1st day of FA is dominated by Belichick & Brady? The irony for Cards' fans is that unlike Bucs w/ Shaq Barrett, Cards have no interest in re-signing their top FA (Haason) heading into his prime and that the first w/ Card ties to sign today was Rudy Ford.— Walter B J Mitchell (@WBJMItch) March 15, 2021 It’s not just the Pats and Bucs sense of urgency that gets them over the top, it’s knowing precisely what it takes to sign players an...

100 Watt Bulb Shines on Cardinals The Cardinals signing JJ Watt to 2 yr deal is the def. equivalence to Bucs signing Tom Brady. Gives the team and fans instant adrenaline, cred and hope. Plus Watt, like Brady, should attract free agents. Imagine Zach Allen now getting to play with and learn from his idol. — Walter B J Mitchell (@WBJMItch) March 1, 2021 Haason Reddick is still the present and future at 34 SAM OLB. Cards & HR will work a contract out. SAM--Reddick; LDE---Allen; NT-Fotu; RDE-Watt; BANDIT---Jones; Cards learned that taking Chandler out of BANDIT over to 34 SAM OLB for Suggs w...

My Watt Excitement: An Epexegesis (Clarification) Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images I know. I know. As rolcards, one of ROTB’s favorite and most insightful Birdgangers, posed to me during the midst of my elation with regard to the Cardinals signing JJ Watt, “I’m surprised that Walter is so excited about this as he so often talks about AZ being a place for retiring players to come and get paid to take it easy their last couple years.” True. But, the Cardinals signing 34 DE stud JJ Watt is a notable exception. There are only 3 active NFL players with at least 5 First-Team All-Pro sele...

Haason Reddick’s Remarkable Perseverance Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images It’s pretty extraordinary —- when you think about it —-how Haason Reddick didn't allow all of the obstacles he had to hurdle in 2020 to break his spirit. Just look at what he had to overcome in his 4th year as a Cardinal: Haason Reddick's character (despite playing well @ SAM last 3 weeks/2 wins 2019): (1) SK not giving him 5th year tender; (2) the BUST label; (3) fans/pundits begging SK to trade /cut him; (4) SK signing D. Kennard to be 3 yr. $20M starter @ SAM; (4) 1st start 2020 was Week 3. — Walter B J Mit...
