Mike Iupati to the Cardinals

[Fountain City Blues]

 

[Red_Chaos]

damn it.......

 

[Arizona_Sting]

So far I love the two big signings we've made this offseason. Next on the wish list is AP

 

[Davis_Mike]

I just read this. I am a little surprise, but OG/C is a priority. I just didn't think we would spend that kind of money on a G when we need a pass rusher, RB, DL.

Well, I thought he was incredibly average last year in SF.

I do love the signing.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

He's a very good run blocker…. that's what he's known for. *cough AP cough*

 

[TKOSpikes]

Fuck!

 

[UK Cowboy]

Great signing for the Cards

 

[Arizona_Sting]

I love how as soon as Dockett joins SF their entire team either retires or signs somewhere else, or is on the trade block.

 

[NinerSickness]

Harbaugh gone.
Justin Smith and Patrick Willis are retiring.
The Kaepernick trade rumour was false.
Now this.

What this offseason feels like:

Of course you did.

What kind of money? Do we know yet?

I keep reading The cards are APs preferred team, even over Dallas. He is willing to restructure his contract too. Plus Fitz was one of the few players to support him during the whole suspension situation.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

BTW- Those niner players are really looking forward to playing for Coach Ron Jeremy as was reported when they promoted him.

Willis - Gone
Justin Smith - Gone
Crabtree - Gone (most likely)
Gore - Gone
Culiver - Gone
Iupati - Gone

Their big move thus far... Signed a 34 year old Dockett coming off a torn AC who hasn't played an all around solid season since 2011.

Wow. Just Wow.

He's a good run blocker.

Possible numbers haven't been reported yet. But the scuttlebutt going into free agency was that he was looking for $7-8 mil AAV.

If that's the case, that leaves us with about $5 mil to spend. But I can see Larsen being cut after Iupati signs to free up another $2 mil.

Yup. I've heard AP prefers Arizona over anyone if he gets traded which surprised me a little. Shows how good Arians and Keim have done here… getting a good reputation winning COY and GM of the year goes a long way. Plus he's great friends with Fitz. With a healthy Palmer or hell, even Stanton, upgraded OL, AP (if they land him somehow), solid receiving core and good defense AZ will be a contender this year.

I wonder if anyone else will restructure for us (PP, CC?) if they really want more help around them then I wouldn't be surprised if they took a pay cut or restructured slightly or something. Maybe not PP since he's still pretty young, but Campbell is a class act and probably wants to win now. If it means adding AP I can't wait to see what our FO has up their sleeves.

CC was open to a restructure/extension. This is the first year of PP new contract, but I guess they could convert most of his $11 mil salary this season to a restructure bonus & free up about $8.4 mil. That would add another $1.7 to his high cap number in years 16-20.
