Cardinals have free agent options at linebacker

Here are some potential targets who would significantly upgrade the Cardinals’ second inside linebacker position.

Joe Schobert

Schobert is built the way Joseph likes his linebackers. He is 6-1 and 245 pounds. He is great in coverage and considered sometimes a liability in the run game, although that would make him a nice complement to Jordan Hicks.

He also fills the stat sheet. Last season, he had 133 tackles, two sacks, four interceptions, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

He likely will also command at least what Hicks got paid last year, when they signed him to a four-year deal worth $9 million per season.
