Options for the Cardinals at CB during Malcolm Butler’s absence

The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in a bit of a bind at cornerback as rosters were cut down to 53 players. Projected starter Malcolm Butler is dealing with some personal issues and has, as of now, retired from the NFL. The team placed him on the retirement list Tuesday as part of the moves to trim their roster.

As things stand, they have only four cornerbacks on the roster, plus Robert Alford, who is currently on the COVID list.

Butler could potentially unretire and rejoin the team, but we can’t count on that for right now.

The Cardinals have some options to address the position.

Here are some possibilities to replace Butler.
