Arizona Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim has a strategy for building a roster. Every NFL GM does. But GM’s are in a competitive business, where misinformation is a form of capital, and smokescreens are ubiquitous. As such, Keim is not likely to fully disclose his strategies to the media or fans.
In the absence of such a treatise, however, there are ways of divining Keim’s methods – his modus operandi.
The first step in attempting to identify Keim’s strategies, is to examine his actions since taking over as GM in 2013. This includes looking at the free agents he signs, the free agents he doesn’t sign, the players he drafts, and the players he cuts.
