3 pending free agents to watch in Vikings-49ers playoff game

The Arizona Cardinals could target players in this game whose contracts expire this offseason.

The divisional round of the playoffs begin Saturday afternoon with the San Francisco 49ers hosting the Minnesota Vikings. Arizona Cardinals fans can watch the game simply to see who moves on or to root against the division rival 49ers, but they also can watch to see players who will be free agents this offseason.

Are there any who could be players of interest for the Cardinals?

Armstead had a breakout season in 2019. He had nine career sacks in three previous seasons. He had 10 in 2019. The Cardinals need help on the defensive line and could target a big-ticket player. Armstead would be such a player and would immediately upgrade the defensive front and give the Cardinals an interior threat to counter Chandler Jones off the edge.
