The Arizona Cardinals have basically checked off all of their biggest offseason needs in the first few days of free agency. Here is a rundown of what they did.
They traded David Johnson, unloading his contract. They retained Kenyan Drake with the transition tag.
They acquired a No. 1 receiver by trading for DeAndre Hopkins.
They added a big defensive lineman by agreeing to sign Jordan Phillips.
They added a pass rusher by agreeing to sign Devon Kennard.
They added an inside linebacker in an agreed deal with De’Vondre Campbell.
What is left for the Cardinals to address? They have a few secondary needs.
Backup quarterback
As of now, the Cardinals have Drew Anderson and former CFL dual-threat quarterback Chris Streveler. Brett Hundley, last year’s backup, is a free agent. It would seem logical for them to bring him back, although they could let Streveler and Anderson battle for the job.
Kyle Sloter, who spent time on the Cardinals’ practice squad last year, was recently released by the Detroit Lions. Perhaps they will consider him and let the three battle it out, looking for a bargain.
