Oregon LB Troy Dye
The Cardinals did sign someone to play alongside Jordan Hicks, who played well for Arizona last season but struggled to cover tight ends.
Enter Dye, who played well in coverage last season for the Ducks.
Teams are going to fall in love with Oregon's Troy Dye at the @seniorbowl.
All of the things I've heard about his character are incredible, and he's one of few off-ball linebackers in this class that can make splash plays/hold their own in coverage. pic.twitter.com/GgTM7MsQkZ

Dye is a bit of a smaller linebacker and may not fit the prototype of linebacker that Vance Joseph is looking for at 6-3, 231 pounds.
He may just be what they need alongside Hicks though, and with De’Vondre Campbell only signed through this season, would have time to learn Arizona’s defensive system.
