Brandon Beane looking for speed ? Cardinals grant WR Andy Isabella permission to seek trade

[HOUSE]

 

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

Intriguing.

 

All depends on the price.

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.

Won't be expensive

I’d flip a late rounder for him, you are drafting for potential there anyway, see if a6th gets it done.

Oh I know, he won't be expensive as far as money goes.

 

I'm just wondering what the Cardinals expect in return. I'd offer no higher than a 6th.

 

Isabella is worth a look.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

I also would be interested in this move

[Southern_Bills]

Sounds like someone who could potentially take the slot from Beasley, at a good savings. 

 

Definitely worth a shot.

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.

Can he return punts and KOs?

Hold on FG and PATs? 🤔

Well, he’s certainly fast enough! 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? Or is he just fast?

Let me ask him

He says yes

Apparently, he's returned 1 punt and 8 KOs in his illustrious career.  And in 2021, he caught 1 pass for 13 yards.  Was he injured?  If not, I'd say the Cards would be lucky to get a 6th or 7th rd pick for him.

Yes, but if he was a used car, his ad would read 'Barely Driven!' 😁

In 2018, he led the country in receiving yards per game (141.5) and was named to the 2018 College Football All-America Team. Isabella was Pro Football Focus's highest rated wide receiver in college football, posting a season grade of 93.2.[12]
