D.J. Reader of the Houston Texans is an interesting fit, although the Cardinals seem to operate fine enough without a true nose tackle, so his type may not be prioritized. Yannick Ngokue and Jadaveon Clowney seem out of their price range, and seem far too costly as well as not being great fits.

Jordan Phillips got low PFF grades, and given Arizona’s somewhat new analytics leanings, it would be surprising to see them look his direction. Also worth mentioning is Arizona’s own free agents, Jonathan Bullard and Zach Kerr, both of whom they may look at bringing back.
