  • ARI Running Back #33

    Benson checked in at last year’s NFL Scouting Combine standing, 6'/216 before blazing a 4.39-second Forty. Offseason weight gains at the running back position can sometimes increase sluggishness, so we sure hope Benson’s claim is true. Benson also echoed head coach Jonathan Gannon’s “two starting backs” sentiment from early March, saying his “mindset” is currently “two RB1s.” Last year’s standalone starter, James Conner, banked 283 offensive touches to Benson’s 69. Ideally, Benson would fully overtake Conner for the starting role, but operating in a split backfield would at least be an upgrade on 2024.
  • ARI Defensive Tackle
    The deal includes a fifth-year option for the Cardinals. Nolen showed flashes of future All-Pro play at Ole Miss and was one of the most physically-imposing players in the draft. Jonathan Gannon will be tasked with making those flashes become the standard. Nolen will likely break in as part of a rotation with Calais Campbell, Darius Robinson, and Justin Jones up front early in the season.
  • DET Center #63
    The move gives Detroit some interior offensive line depth following center Frank Ragnow’s abrupt retirement. Colon started seven games at right guard for the Cardinals last season. He previously made starts at left guard in Arizona and earned a handful of spot starts at center while in Baltimore. His addition will create some flexibility in the trenches for Detroit even if he doesn’t win a starting job in camp.
  • ARI Linebacker #45
    A former UDFA, Gardeck spent the first seven years of his NFL tenure in Arizona, working his way up from a special teams role as a rookie to pass-rush specialist duties later in his career. He broke out with seven sacks in 2020 and reached six sacks in 2023. Primed for a 2024 breakout, Gardeck notched three sacks before tearing his ACL in Week 7. Assuming his recovery goes well, Gardeck projects for a part-time role on the Jags defense to open the year.
  • ARI Tight End #85
    “A lot more complex. … It’s all kind of the same concepts, just different ways to get to it,” McBride continued. Rarely do you see a player so upfront about schematic changes, but a re-designed offense may help the Cardinals find space for McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. to operate in 2025. McBride, in particular, is due for some good touchdown regression after finishing with only two in 2024.
  • ARI Cornerback #23
    We expect clarifying news to arrive shortly. Murphy-Bunting’s injury was not specified in the report, but notably dealt with a mid-season neck injury last year. Second-year CB Max Melton, CB Kei’Trel Clark and Starling Thomas V will likely compete for the No. 2 perimeter cornerback role opposite second-round rookie CB Will Johnson, while CB Garrett Williams mans the slot. The Cardinals also waived DE Ben Stille.
  • ARI Linebacker #51
    The Cardinals released LB Milo Eifler in a corresponding move. Both Russell and Eifler are special teams contributors, though Russell has been more productive in this regard, racking up nine special teams tackles in three NFL seasons to the two Eifler totaled from 2021-2024.
  • ARI Wide Receiver #18
    Speaking at a press conference at the Cardinals’ team facility Monday, Harrison Jr. told reporters he has put on weight this offseason and will see how his body feels through OTAs before settling on a new playing weight for the coming season. When asked about the areas of his game that could benefit by additional weight, the second-year receiver said, “contested catch situations, run off the catch.” Harrison Jr. came into the league as one of the most pro-ready wide receivers of the previous decade and will look to build on a rookie season in which he amassed 885 yards and eight touchdowns through the air as the clear alpha in Arizona.
  • ARI Tight End #81
    Deguara was a third-round pick of the Packers back in 2020 and spent last season with the Jaguars. The veteran tight end has a career receiving line of 50-450-2, with half of his receptions and receiving yards coming during the 2021 campaign. He appeared in three games as a backup last season and shouldn’t be considered a lock to make the 53-man roster.
  • ARI Wide Receiver #18
    Gannon heaped praise on MHJ for his work ethic and initiative during the offseason. He also mentioned that Harrison Jr. added some muscle mass after his rookie campaign. The former No. 4 overall pick went for 885 yards and eight scores in 2024. While those aren’t bad numbers, they are far from what you would expect from a player of Harrison Jr.'s pedigree. The Cardinals used him to stretch the field, opening up easy-button targets for Trey McBride. This may have worked for their offense, but it was a dreadful utilization of the rookie’s skill set. The Cardinals have to design more short and intermediate looks for MHJ if he is going to break out in his second season.
