Believe it or not, the Arizona Cardinals were pleased with the play of their offensive line in 2019. Yes, they allowed 50 sacks but multiple metrics show they were a solid unit. One is the fact they were a top-10 rushing offense and No. 2 in the league in yards per attempt. They also rank highly as a unit in a key pass-blocking metric.

It is known the team would like to re-sign left tackle D.J. Humphries and center A.Q. Shipley. Their starting guards of Justin Pugh and J.R. Sweezy are under contract for 2020.

The one position they viably could address is right tackle. It was the one position there were questions about. They could address the position in free agency but they don’t necessarily have to go out and be big spenders. They have multiple players they could bring back for the job in 2020.

None will cost much.

Marcus Gilbert

Gilbert is the most talented of the group by far. However, he never played a down, tearing his ACL in practice before the first game. He will be an unrestricted free agent. The Cardinals could re-sign him and because of his age and injury history, he won’t command much money. However, it would be foolish for the Cardinals to just count on him to be the starter.
