The Arizona Cardinals have officially announced Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator under new head coach Jonathan Gannon. He was previously the quarterbacks coach for the Cleveland Browns.
He will bring a new offense to the Cardinals after four years of Kliff Kingsbury’s Air Raid-based spread offense.
It is common to see players from coaches’ previous team follow them to new teams, which means we can look at the Browns for potential players who could come to Arizona and either start right away knowing the offensive system or provide leadership and stability off the bench as the team learns the new offense.
Below are some players from the Browns last season on offense who are scheduled to be free agents and might make sense for the Cardinals to target.
