The Arizona cardinals entered the 2025 off -season with a high cap space and draft choices to considerably improve their list after an eight victories campaign.
So far, so good.
Cardinals have inked the big names such as Josh Sweat and Dalvin Tomlinson to strengthen their seven defensive front while retaining key names at all levels.
There is a serious hope that the cardinals dominate the trenches thanks to their new additions, and their efforts have not gone unnoticed in the national media,
Professional football focus Said that the Arizona’s defensive line was one of the most improved units in the free agency.
“The cardinals had the fifth weakest defensive line in the NFL last season. In response, Arizona has invested nearly $ 125 million in its defensive front,” wrote Max Chadwick.
“The biggest addition of the cardinals came by adding the defender Edge Josh Sweat. He has obtained more than 70.0 PFF notes in the past five seasons and posted 10.5 bags for the Eagles of Philadelphia in the regular season and the playoffs last year.
“The major addition of Arizona to the defensive tackle came in the form of Dalvin Tomlinson, who was one of the 32 interior defenders best classified in seven of his eight seasons. Cardinals hope for a first -round choice in 2024, Darius Robinson, can jump in 2nd year to solidify one of the other sites in the interior defensive line.”
Chadwick also did not mention BJ Ojulari, who was a promising rusher of passes before his knee injury kept him away from 2024. The cardinals also saw an impressive jump from Dante Stills in his second season.
Arizona has certainly spent the money to dominate the trenches – now, players and coaches do good on their potential.
