Cardinals' Offseason Moves, QB Shakeup

0:00It's March 7th, here's your NFL news in 2 minutes, subscribe to stay locked in all season. The Arizona Cardinals are gearing up for a big off season under new head coach Mike LeFloor with General Manager Montiocin Ford facing his most, important one yet. As free agency kicks off around March 9th unofficially and March 11th officially, the team sits with $48 million in total cap, space in 36.5 million in effective cap space as of March 7. Just after accounting for draft picks and dead money from past players, they've already created more room by releasing linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaether, defensive lineman, balal nickels, and defensive lineman Daoven, Tom Linson, freeing up just over $20 million combined. Keep in mind, quarterback Kyler Murray's official release is still pending, which will shake up those numbers even more once processed. Fans and analysts are buzzing about how this cap flexibility could transform the roster, especially after a tough stretch.

1:01The Cardinals need depth across the board to compete, and these moves signal a fresh start without relying on the same old lineup. Looking ahead, more cuts could come for players like Edge rusher Baron Browning, cornerback Sean Murphy, Bunting, center Evan Brown, running back James, Connor, and linebacker Zave and Collins, potentially adding another $28 million or so. Quarterback to Kobe Preset might even be shopped in a trade. The focus will likely hit the offensive line hard, targeting guards and right tackle, plus defensive lin, Edge rusher to pair with Josh Sweat. Inside linebacker depth, safety's behind Buddha Baker, and maybe even a quarterback like Malik Willis, or Jimmy Garoppolo, to sort out the position.
