The Arizona Cardinals didn’t use tight ends much in the passing attack in 2019, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury gradually used the tight end more and more in his offense last year – whether that was just due to adapting his offense with more time in the league or potentially just what their personnel dictated, we are not sure.
Maxx Williams signed a two-year contract extension, but it would make some sense for Arizona to fill another tight end spot with Charles Clay being a free agent now, even with Dan Arnold’s late-season performance. Here are a few options:
Austin Hooper
Hooper likely priced himself out of Arizona’s price range after a career year (75 receptions, 787 yards, 6 TDs). Given that Steve Keim is not wanting to break the bank for every free agent, and that he has some suitors (such as the Packers and Patriots perhaps), it seems unlikely that Arizona would pursue Hooper:
