The Arizona Cardinals got great play and not so great play from their edge linebacker position in 2019. As we look ahead to the offseason, let’s look at what is to come. We will look back at how they did, the current roster and what questions are in the offseason.
2019 review
2019 was all about Chandler Jones being great and everyone else being not very good.
Jones set a franchise record with 19 sacks and had eight forced fumbles. He was half a sack short of the league lead and, had he had one more sack, he probably would have been Defensive Player of the Year.
Outside of Jones, the outside linebackers on the roster produced 10 sacks. 5.5 of them came from Terrell Suggs, who started the season with two in the season opener but had only half a sack in the final six games with the Cardinals before he was released. He was a huge disappointment.
Haason Reddick moved to outside linebacker and showed some potential, while Cassius Marsh produced minimally.
