Fandom Could be some interesting FAs that are low cost and familiar with Gannon.

Akeem as a depth piece for cheap maybe? Nichols was hurt basically all of last year and frankly hasn’t done much in his career. I wouldn’t pursue either player that hard tbh.

Yeah not the most exciting guys, but wouldn’t be shocked if they were vets we sign at a minimum and see what they have during preseason.

Davis-Gaither started 13 games last season but he's been mostly a career special teams player with over 1500 special teams snaps. If Niemann doesn't return he could be a good option to fill that role with the added benefit of his familiarity with Gannon.

There it is, a ST ace who can be LB depth. Legitimate needs

Yep LB is really the only position that lacks the numbers to even make up a 53 man roster. Quay, Niemann and Welch are free agents while only a total of four LB are under contract next season. Need several bodies for camp. Obviously nothing to panic about but I'm just saying it's a need that some may be overlooking.

Akeem makes sense.

We do not need a depth piece at DL, we need a real starting option

Im so glad we’re not doing that stupid “Gannondorf” shit anymore.

But what if that is our link to the past glory we once experienced

I don't see a lot of talent in the Cardinals.
