HOUSE Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Andy Isabella's time in Arizona appears to be coming to an end. Isabella's agent, Bradley Blank, told CBS Sports' Josina Anderson on Wednesday that he's been permitted to seek a trade. "I think we have all concluded, including the Cardinals, that it might be best for Andy to get a fresh start," Blank told Anderson. The Cardinals drafted Isabella in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft with designs of the UMass product adding a speed element to the receivering corps. That hasn't worked out. With teams constantly looking for speed, it's possible a club could view it worth taking a flyer on Isabella in 2022, especially if they had high grades on him coming out of college. His lack of production indicates the cost in any trade wouldn't be steep -- possibly as low as a swap of draft selections. 4.31 seconds His 2019 NFL Combine 40-yard dash turbo speed of 4.31 seconds was another reason to keep him. "His explosiveness, his speed, he can play inside and outside, very conscientious player, can play special teams, can be in the return game," Kingsbury said https://www.nfl.com/news/cardinals-grant-wr-andy-isabella-permission-to-seek-trade https://www.google.com/search?q=andy+isabella+40+speed&client=firefox-b-1-d&ei=HtAfYt6-IeuDwbkPh7u0-Ak&oq=Andy+Isabella+spped&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYAjIECAAQDTIGCAAQDRAeMggIABAIEA0QHjoHCAAQRxCwAzoLCC4QgAQQsQMQgwE6CwgAEIAEELEDEIMBOgQIABBDOgUIABCABDoFCAAQxAI6BggAEBYQHjoFCCEQoAFKBAhBGABKBAhGGABQiAxYtCtg40toAXABeACAAcYEiAGAGpIBCTAuMS40LTMuM5gBAKABAcgBCMABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz Edited March 2, 2022 by HOUSE 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I would offer a 7th for him. He has intriguing speed, but he has never been productive in a pass-happy spread offense. He only has one year left in his rookie deal, so he doesn't have much trade value. 5 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCofNC Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I’d flip a late rounder for him, you are drafting for potential there anyway, see if a6th gets it done. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering what the Cardinals expect in return. I'd offer no higher than a 6th. Isabella is worth a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 There will be a few speed options if he's serious. Isabella likely would be the least expensive option. DJ Chark and John Ross are both options, however both would be a tad costly and have some injury concerns. I fully expect a true blazing WR to be brought in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main question is WHY he produced so little. I was curious about him coming out of college, and would have expected more. How are his routes? Hands? Coverage awareness?

Udubalum07 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 If he can be had for a 6th, I think it is definitely worth a shot. Get him with Gabe, Diggs, and Josh, and he may be a different player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julian Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Don’t underestimate what #17 can do for a thirsty WR… Brown, Beasley and Diggs all had career years with Allen.

TBBills Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) I saw only one highlight and it showed him catching the ball with his chest not his hands. I need to see more, speed is fine but you also need to catch fast balls with your hands b.c it will bounce off your chest.
