Cardinals free agency wrap up?

Free agency is kind of an open entity. It starts and then just kind of floats into the regular season. That being said it looks like the birds are content with a familiar strategy. Let someone else overpay while we sign as many proven, crusty veterans as humanly possible. Mix in a little luck in the draft and you have the Cardinals Arians/ Keim era in a nutshell. The aforementioned crusty old vets can still ball. Antione Bethea is a goddamn tackle machine whose had some sick years with the Colts. Hes 33 but coming off a year where he had over 100 tackles as a key cog on one shitty team in the 49ers. In fact, they were so shitty he asked for his release so he could get as far away from that shipwreck as possible. Karlos Dansby uses the Cardinals to trick some team into paying him too much. But he fucking loves us so much he always ends up back in the desert. He kills it for us and then goes to another team (Dolphins, Bengals) for way too much money. He plays real solid but not crazy good despite being paid like a star. He then comes back to Arizona and does it again. Guys a freaking genius. The crusty old bastard is back and at 35 we hope hes here to stay. Oh yeah he had over 100 tackles last year. Finally the oldest summa bitch of them all is a kicker. Now, to most of you the kicker is nothing special. For us kicking is everything. Special teams lost us 4 games last year, 4! That cost us the playoffs. So out with the young buck and in with the forty two year old vet whose seen it all. Stability like you read about. The cards did what they needed to do in free agency, plug the holes left by Jefferson and Campbell and do it on the cheap.

P.S. We also signed Jarvis Jones a pass rusher with like 5 career sacks, so thats a thing.
