Grade53Expert's TakeBlackstock is a four-year veteran out of Virginia who the Cardinals drafted in the third round of the 2005 draft. He has been pretty much a backup for the previous three years and a core special teams member. He probably fits the 3-4 scheme the Cardinals are trying to convert to better than the even front scheme they have been using. He looks more effective going forward than he does dropping into coverage. He can be explosive with his first step and accelerates off the edge with a good burst of speed. He is active and not afraid to throw his body around with abandon. He is a bit stiff in the hips and struggles in coverage because of it. He is slow to turn and break on balls and does not have great ball skills when he manages to get into the zone. He still needs work on recognition skills and his ability to locate the level of the ball. His value still lies in special teams, but some team is apt to try and bring him in to see if they can get more out of his physical tools than he has shown up to this point, as an every-down player.



according to ESPN.com FA tracker, he is still out there. if he came cheap (3 yr, 3 mil) i can see him as a back up, but nothing special about this guy unless he can ultimately help on special teams
 
According to Rotoworld he is either going to sign with the Browns or Bengals...

We are out of the running:

I dont blame the guy. We have lots of LBs, he probably will get a better shot to play in one of those cities. Especially considering he clearly wasnt Bill's first choice; after Anderson, Torbor, (Pace) etc.
