To start with, it’s easy to understand Cardinals’ fans’ frustration with Steve Keim’s continued acquisitions of players with injury histories, especially, for example, in light of him picking up Deone Bucannon’s $8.7M 5th year option last year with Deone coming off two injury-riddled seasons where he scored PFF grades in the 40s. And then despite that mistake, he doubled down on D.J. Humphries at $9.6M after Humphries has started only 27 of the Cardinals’ 66 games the past four years, including only 14 of 32 games the last two seasons.
Then, of course, there were last year’s free agent signings of injury riddled players, headed by QB Sam Bradford and G Justin Pugh.
