    Did the Cardinals receive what was once termed as either, “an undisclosed amount of cash” or “cash considerations” during today’s flurry of activity? I mean, let’s face facts…Cash is king and is always the primary consideration simply because you can buy all kinds of stuff with it.

    Well, they did save more than $7 million in 2026 payroll obligations, and another $7 million projected for next year, with Noot’s salary now off the books.

    They could add a poverty abatement surcharge on the dogs a drinks. The fans would understand.

    Yes, they will probably increase season ticket prices another 5-13% this year, as what the DeWitt’s are discovering is that the key to profit maximization for billionaires is not “fans in the stands”, but rather how much welfare you can receive from your fellow owners and the tax-paying minions.

    I think they saved $5 million LA with the loss of Noot and addition of Ferguson being essentially a wash for the remainder of this season. Really $4 million after they add a player at the minimum to the roster. But I get your point. However, I don’t believe that these transactions to save $4 million had anything to do with money. Or at least not hardly anything to do with saving $4 million today.
