The free agency period in the NFL starts this Friday and, like many teams, the Cardinals really have their work cut out for them. They already took care of one of their big questions, which they solved by tagging Karlos Dansby. While their biggest priority is still to resign Kurt Warner, it was nice to get this issue out of the way (for now). And while free agency is a big part of the off season, the Cardinals still have the whole Anquan Boldin situation to settle. Needless to say I wouldn't want to be in Michael Bidwill or Rod Grave's shoes (probably because my feet are way too big for them, oh!). Sorry about that.
Below is a list of the Cardinals' free agents (from profootballtalk.com) with my expert opinion on what to do with each player. I know, I should be charging for this advice, but I'm in a giving mood.
QB Kurt Warner - Of course you resign him
TE Leonard Pope (restricted) - not a big priority to keep him, draft a TE or use Spach
DT Gabe Watson (restricted) - keep him, he's getting better and isn't fat as hell anymore
RB J.J. Arrington - If you can get him cheap, resign
LB Monty Beisel - Not a bad backup LB, saw him playing in the playoffs
DE Bertrand Berry - Should resign him, but may not
OL Elton Brown - Keep him for cheap if you can, otherwise find a new O-lineman
CB Ralph Brown - I'd rather have Rod Hood, but he's okay for nickel coverage
LB Karlos Dansby (franchised) - Now that Suggs is tagged, he's your best option by far at LB
P Ben Graham - He played much better than Dirk Johnson, pay him
CB Eric Green - Call a bus to get this guy out of town asap
LB Clark Haggans - He's been hurt way too often, keep him only if he's cheap
OL Scott Peters - No idea who this is, see ya
DE Antonio Smith - Keep him unless he wants Julius Peppers money, which he might
FB Terrelle Smith - Seems like a great guy but he's still a FB
QB Brian St. Pierre - Sure, why not?
