There was light at the end of the rebuild tunnel last year as the Cardinals finished just a couple of games out of a playoff spot in a competitive NFC West division. As a result, Arizona doesn't need to fully overhaul its roster.

Arizona shipped off its 2025 sixth-round pick to Denver in exchange for edge Baron Browning midseason. He just re-signed on a two-year deal this free agency period after a promising half-season with the Cardinals. Arizona’s own seventh-rounder was used in the 2022 trade for wide receiver Robbie Chosen (then Robbie Anderson).
