The Arizona Cardinals aren’t in the playoffs, but some future Cardinals players could be, since free agency begins in March.
The Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs will play the first game of the Divisional Round weekend, which begins Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The Chiefs have a number of players expected to become free agents.
Some might interest the Cardinals in terms of matchups and potential targets.
Here are some players to know.
EDGE Charles Omenihu
Omenihu had seven sacks in 2023 and tore his ACL in the AFC Championship Game. He only played six games in the regular season and recorded one sack. But he’s 27 and the Cardinals need help at rushing.
EDGE Josh Uche
He had 11.5 sacks in 2022 for the New England Patriots, but just five in the past two seasons and hasn’t had a sack for the Chiefs since being acquired via trade in October. He is 26 years old and a former second round pick.
DT Tershawn Wharton
He’s 6-foot-1, 280 pounds and has a career-high 6.5 sacks in 2024, including four in December. He is 26 years old.
LB Nick Bolton
Bolton had 106 tackles, three sacks, one interception and six TD passes in 2024. The truth is, he’ll likely be out of the Cardinals’ price range for an inside linebacker, but if Kyzir White leaves as appears to be happening, Bolton would. adjust.
QB Carson Wentz
Wentz was Kansas City’s backup quarterback this season. If the Cardinals decide to move on and move on to Clayton Tune, Wentz isn’t a bad choice.
