Once Karlos Dansby internal-link-placeholder-0, it was clear Kevin Minter would be moving on. Minter did Saturday, reportedly agreeing to a deal with the Bengals. While Minter got better over his four years, the Cardinals were still looking to upgrade. We will see if Dansby -- who turns 36 during the season and is 10 years older than Minter -- is that answer, although I will not be surprised to see the Cardinals address the position in the draft.

It's interesting that Minter is going to Cincinnati, where he will ostensibly replace Dansby, who is obviously replacing him. And then, to think back to 2013, when Minter was a second-round pick (and basically ignored that night, because the third-round pick was Tyrann Mathieu) and then lost out on a chance to start next to Daryl Washington when Dansby was signed for tenure No. 2 in Arizona.

So the Cardinals saw Dansby in Cincy and believed him better than Minter. And the Bengals didn't worry about losing Dansby and see Minter as a replacement. I'll miss Minter, who became a go-to guy in the locker room and was willing to avoid sugarcoating stuff, especially when things didn't go well last season.

Out of nine 2013 draft picks, the Cardinals have two left -- Mathieu and Andre Ellington, with Stepfan Taylor still a free agent.
