For the NFL, it's March 7th and here's what's going on. The NFL's 2026 league year starts March 11th right after negotiations open on March 9th. Arizona Cardinals face key roster choices ahead of it, including decisions on young players like Safety, Kiting Crawford, a 7th ground pick from, Nevada known for special team's work. Crawford made the roster as a rookie and played in 15 games last season. An ankle injury in Week 17 put him on injured reserve for the finale, but he still logged solid time on defense with 142 snaps. There, he grabbed 20 tackles and broke up a pass. His real impact came on special teams, though, with 3-0-19 snaps, 9 tackles, and a blocked extra point that stood out. He is entering the second year of his 4-year rookie contract, set to earn just over $1 million in salary for 2026, that counts 1.04 million against the cap, and he has signed through 2028. Crawford should stick

as a core special team or next off season, building on his college strengths. He will push to grow on defense, but special team's production will lock in his roster spot.
