New coach, GM work to reshape Arizona Cardinals roster
By The Associated Press
ARIZONA CARDINALS (4-13)
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: G Justin Pugh, K Matt Prater, RT Kelvin Beachum, CB Byron Murphy, Jr., G Cody Ford, LB Nick Vigil, LB Tanner Vallejo, LB Zeke Turner, P Andy Lee, DL Trysten Hill, RG Will Hernandez, RB Darrel Williams, CB Antonio Hamilton, S Charles Washington, TE Stephen Anderson, LS Aaron Brewer, G Max Garcia, TE Maxx Williams, DL Zach Allen, LB Ben Niemann, RT Rashaad Coward, WR Pharoh Cooper, CB Josh Jackson, RB Corey Clement, C Billy Price, LB Kamu Grugier-Hill, DL Michael Dogbe, QB Trace McSorley, OL Sean Harlow, OL Joshua Miles.
RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: WR Antoine Wesley, QB David Blough.
NEEDS: The Cardinals are in reset mode with new coach Jonathan Gannon and new GM Monti Ossenfort. They have a franchise quarterback in Kyler Murray and a handful of defensive centerpieces in LBs Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins, along with DBs Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson. Outside of that, the Cardinals need talent at just about every spot, particularly on the offensive and defensive lines. Arizona is also reportedly shopping three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who is still one of the game’s elite receivers, but carries a $29.9 million cap number next season. That situation could obviously affect who the Cardinals target during free agency.
AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $28.5 million.
