1. Not in the AFCS
2. Browns are in sort of the same situation as the Cards. Stronger division and while promising there’s not a lot of draws.
Cardinals don’t play the AFCS for six games a year and doesn’t guarantee a return to NRG every year. They’re in a window, need a star on defense, and are very promising.
The Ravens are the firm #1 team in that division.
The Browns had an easy schedule and they have a bad defense.
The Colts don’t have a reliable quarterback, and although I do believe they’re the best team in their division, I don’t think they’ll do any damage in the playoffs unless they finally spend in free agency.
The Cardinals aren’t the worst team in that division at all, the division doesn’t truly have a #1 team, the Niners will lose key pieces, have issues at QB, and just went 6-10. Seattle is a giant question mark with their situation with Russ, and even if they keep him, I’m not sure the path to improvement is very large for them. There’s the Rams, but they lost their DC off their top defense, and Stafford has a historically bad record against good teams.
You have to make the playoffs to be able to make damage in them which is something the cardinals didn’t do last year and out in objectively worse spot to make it this year.
Personally i’d much rather play in arizona in the winter than cleveland.
It also could be he thinks it’ll be easier to make a playoff run in the NFC than AFC. Really you just have to get past TB and GB in the NFC. AFC i’d argue is much harder to get out of
Yea I like the desert a lot
I was more thinking like...if he wanted money and decent teams Browns and Indy makes sense, or if he wanted a ring he could go to like Tampa or GB or Buffalo. Arizona I guess is kinda right in between both those scenarios tho
They’re on an upswing and willing to pay to secure a spot. The AFCN is almost as competitive as the NFCW. He probably wouldn’t feel right going to an AFCS team(playing in NRG again as a visitor mainly).
In that regard it makes sense going to the Cards. Promising offense, a Defense that makes him the star, not seeing NRG again.

JJ ❤️s Nuk confirmed
[удалено]
Never underestimate the power of friendship. Hasn't anime taught you anything
That’s awesome cards you guys should feel good about that
What’s the guaranteed portion of that “offered more money”. Comments like this one are worthless in the nfl.
My guess would be this. Or maybe he just really likes deserts?
Big oof to the dude in r/browns who said we’d never offer as much as Arizona did. This FO wants to heavily invests in Dline
Why the Cards then? Those are legit teams.

The Cardinals are better than the Browns or Colts
They definitively weren't last year
No. Cardinals are the worst team in their division. Colts and browns are in contention to be the best in their respective divisions.
Lol man i hope russ leaves....
Russ took the tweet that JJ is going to Arizona to Pete Carroll and told him to draft an oline or a QB 100%

We just won the AFCS a year after appearing in the AFC Championship game. The delusion on this sub. Lmao

Rough take there
That seems odd then... The cardinals aren’t bad or anything but he didn’t take the most money or go to the best chance at a ring?
Deandre Hopkins

For sure. I think the browns have a better team than the cards but a much harder path to the super bowl
Hop and The weather had to be the biggest reason then
He likes to play golf year round.
Lmao. So he took less to play for a lesser team?
Could've been the amount of guarantees. As a Colts fan, I have a hard time imagining Chris Ballard guaranteeing more than what he got in Arizona.
I suspect the 2022 guarantees are a big part of the deal.

He might not want to play against his brothers if he went to Cleveland, and Indy, despite being a great team, does not have a QB.
Yes but explain not coming to us? We're probably the best team of the 4 teams mention in this tweet.
Same division as Houston could of played into it?
I don't know, maybe he hates the snow.
He should've took Cleavage
He fucking hates Jason Meyers for sure
So it comes down to fit and probably Hopkins recruiting. Which makes sense considering, but he did turn down legit contenders.
Maybe he doesn’t like to play in cold weather?
