TEAM NEEDS
Offensive tackle
The Cardinals signed D.J. Humphries to a new three-year deal, solidifying the left tackle spot. However, the right side still needs to be prioritized despite Marcus Gilbert signing to a one-year extension. His past few seasons have been showered with injuries as he’s missed an average of 12 games over the past three seasons.
Defensive line
The Cardinals added Jordan Phillips in free agency, pairing him alongside Corey Peters, Zach Allen. Jonathan Bullard, Trevon Coley, Michael Dogbe, Miles Brown and Lyndon Johnson. However, the talent on the interior part of the defensive line is still thin and could benefit from another premiere defensive tackle. Adding another solid pass-rusher is something needed to get some help for Chandler Jones.
Cornerback
The Cardinals didn’t add any cornerbacks early in free agency. Robert Alford is projected to play outside cornerback opposite Patrick Peterson in 2020, but the veteran broke his leg in training camp and missed the 2019 season, drawing some concern with his durability. Byron Murphy is slotted to play nickel cornerback, so getting inside-out versatility is essential.
