Centers still available for Cardinals this offseason

The Arizona Cardinals will need a new center this coming season with the expected retirement of Rodney Hudson. However, thus far, they have not made any moves in the offseason to shore up the position.

Free agency has begun and many of the top veteran options are off the board.

Who is available for the Cardinals?

Ryan Kelly

 Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports

Kelly is reportedly available via trade and might end up getting released.

He knows Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon and offensive line coach Klayton Adams.

He is under contract for two more seasons.

Billy Price

Michael Chow-Arizona Republic

Price started last season in place of Hudson when he went down with a knee injury.

Bringing him back would not excite fans, but he has been a starter for a while.

Ben Jones

Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports

Jones was released by the Titans. He was a Pro Bowler last season but missed five games.

New general manager Monti Ossenfort would know all about Jones from his time with the Titans before coming to Arizona.

Jones will be 34 this coming season.

Connor McGovern

Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports

McGovern is the best free agent center available right now.

He will be 30 years old and started for the Jets and Broncos for the last five seasons.
