Cardinals may have first dibs on Marc Bulger

“A lot of people in the league feel the Cardinals already have an understanding with pending free agent Marc Bulger,” writes Pasquarelli. “The Cardinals would have liked to sign Bulger last year, and coach Ken

Whisenhunt lobbied for a deal, but Arizona had already agreed with Derek Anderson and management didn’t see a way to bring in two veterans.”

Having “an understanding” with a player is different than speaking to that player, who in this case is technically still a member of the Baltimore Ravens.

So this presumably wouldn’t be tampering.

But it does sound like it could come awfully close.

this is why you draft Cam.....b/c Bulger and Kolb (who actually doesn't have a better resume than Moore) are deemed the FA/trade answers.

What if we draft Cam, sign Bulger, and go Bulger\Cam\Clausen as our QB's next year? One way or the other, I think a vet should be signed and Bulger isn't a bad option.

that would be fine....that is about all you can get out of someone like Bulger. Carolina will need to find that old QB when they draft Cam. Bulger isn't an answer but he could help hand the keys over.

cards will go after some vet and run a spread offense. it worked with warner pretty well. i actually see them bringing in mcnabb, but i wouldn't be surprised to see bulger there. easy and cheap solution. i just don't see them going after a young Qb...esp. drafting one.

Yeah, if we do draft Cam, we HAVE to sign a vet to teach him. Moore and Clausen have nothing they can help Cam with. Nothing. Jimmy sucked out loud, but if he had had a vet to tutor him last year maybe he would've done a TAD better. If we draft Newton and do the same with him, it'll only hurt the kid.

as long as the vet stayed on the sidelines i'd be happy. for sure newton needs an experienced set of eyes carrying the clipboard to help him know what to look for...but i think the whole mentor QB thing is a bit overrated. teaching and mentoring is the job of the coaches. any coach worth a crap will be enough to help a player get where they need to be if that player is at all capable of reaching their potential.

Coaches are older, coaches have a certain method, and coaches have other duties.......you can't put all that on just a QB coach. Old vets can help in the film room, practice field, after practice, etc. when coaches aren't always around. Plus, current football players relate different w/ players.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
