    Potential Shazier replacement with a similar athletic profile is reportedly available

    Dude was a safety in college, and converted to a linebacker in the pros (like Brian Urlacher did...or the opposite of what Carnell Lake did).

    At the combine, he was a top performer in the 40 (4.49 seconds), high jump (36.5"). broad jump (125"), 3 cone (6.96 seconds), and benched 19 reps at 225 pounds.

    He seems to fit the hybrid profile of what we were looking for when we drafted Terrell Edmunds and Marcus Allen.

    In his first 4 seasons in the NFL, he has 6 sacks, 12 passes defensed, 2 interceptions (1 returned for a pick 6 TD), 6 forced fumbles, and averaged 92 tackles per year.

    Report: Cardinals shopping Deone Bucannon

    Posted by Darin Gantt on October 10, 2018, 8:18 AM EDT

    When teams no longer want a guy, you often hear about their willingness to trade him.

    According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, the Cardinals are “stepping up their efforts to deal” Deone Bucannon.

    A former first-rounder, Bucannon seems to be a bad fit in new coach Steve Wilks’ system.

    He started and played every snap in the opener, but played only one snap of defense in Week Three and four snaps in Week Five.

    Bucannon’s currently playing out the fifth-year option of his rookie deal, and is making $8.71 million this year. Unless a team has cap room to burn for a rental, it’s hard to imagine anyone giving up much of value for him.

    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

      Either would be excellent additions...so unlikely though

        I live in Phoenix and have a wife and sister who are cardinals fans so I’ve watched pretty much every game of theirs. Buchanan is solid from what I remember. My brother in law mentioned his lack of playing time a couple weeks ago and how he thought their new coach was an idiot for not using him. Would be cool to see him in the Black and Gold..

          Sign him now, but he has to formally change his name.

          Either "Flacco sucks" or "Steely McBeam" will do!

            Ruth, call Arizona and make it happen.

                The Cards just signed RB David Johnson to a 3 year $39M contract a month ago. I'm quite confident that they are a team that you can remove from the potential Le'Veon Bell sweepstakes.
