On a per-snap basis, Green was one of the least efficient wide receivers in the league last season. He averaged just 1.06 yards per route run, which ranked 92nd out of 103 qualifying wide receivers. Green caught 47 balls for 523 yards and averaged a career-low 11.1 yards per reception. He caught just 45.2 percent of his targets, which ranked last out of 103 qualifying wide receivers. This was after he played just nine total games from 2018-19.

Maybe Green surprises, but why are the Cardinals rushing out to sign him for $6 million? The wide receiver market has been slow, and there are strong indications that younger, more productive players will be available for less in the weeks and months ahead. Arizona needs pass-catching help, but the process here is a bit of a head-scratcher.

Look at who his qbs were and the horrid oline they both had to pass behind.

Didn't seem to bother Tee Higgins who had almost a thousand yards receiving as a rookie.

Tyler Boyd has had a thousand yards receiving in two of the past three seasons.

Bingo. Come on, it ok to admit that a wr is average and severely overpaid

We are making them now.

Cardinals signed James Connor... the most mediocre running back in NFL history. Irrelevant signing.

irrelevant team.

Hopkins is insanely good.
Murray doesn't have as high of ceiling as people think.
Watt is good for half the season at best with injury.

I agree. Their signings are nice and shiny but they dont fit. Even AJ Green is constantly hurt and hes more of a jump ball and deep pattern guy, he doesnt fit Arizonas goofy, horizontal offense.

I hope the cardinals are adequate this year. Not good enough to make the playoffs but good enough to give Kingsbury one more year. I have a feeling they would love to hire Joe Brady once he becomes a hot name and I think he would be a good HC

Does Marcus Gilbert's retirement force Cards to draft oline in first round?

I don't think it's a terrible pick. They need LBs to cover Kittle and that's what they got.

Well They really needed a corner especially since they already drafted a linebacker in the first round last year. They also needed O line help
