One player drawing attention is Cornerback Kaelin King, a young talent they're evaluating closely. King entered the league as a 7th round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2024.

In 2025, King appeared in just one game for Carolina, logging 7 snaps on special teams. The Cardinals claimed him off their practice squad on December 23rd, and kept him for the season's end, though he stayed inactive for the final. Two games. His contract runs through 2026, with a salary and cap hit of just over $1 million.
