Who could be a target for the Arizona Cardinals?

Packers ILB Blake Martinez

If the Cardinals really want to make a splash at linebacker, they could pair Jordan Hicks with Martinez. All he has done is have at least 140 tackles each of the last three seasons. He had 155 tackles this year to go with three sacks, an interception and a forced fumble.

He will cost a lot but the combo of Hicks and Martinez would potentially be one of the best duos in the league.
