The Arizona Cardinals did not make it to the postseason, but some of their former players did. The first Sunday playoff game is between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints. Between the two teams, there are four former Cardinals on their rosters.
Who are they?
Vikings DE Ifeadi Odenigbo
Odenigbo was with the Cardinals for one month in 2018. He appeared in one game and had one tackle after he was claimed off waivers. He was cut after a month.
He had seven sacks this season for the Vikings.
Saints WR Ted Ginn
Ginn spent one disappointing season with the Cardinals in 2014. He signed a three-year contract but was cut after one season, catching only 14 passes that season. He did return one punt for a touchdown.
He had 30 catches for 421 yards and two touchdowns in 2019 for the Saints.
Saints S D.J. Swearinger
Swearinger is on his third team this season. He played four bad games for the Cardinals before getting cut. He later signed with the Raiders, who cut him after four games. He played in one game for the Saints, picking up one tackle and breaking up one pass.
Saints WR Krishawn Hogan
Hogan is on injured reserve. He appeared in four games for the Saints and caught one pass for four yards. He signed with the Cardinals as an undrafted rookie in 2017 and was part of final cuts.
