Since Calais Campbell left in 2017, the largest defensive line contract the Cardinals have given was Darius Philon last year at two years for $10 million.
The Cardinals had approximately $21 million in cap space after their agreed trade for receiver DeAndre Hopkins. We will see soon what Phillips’ cap number is for 2020.
Without other salary-saving moves, the Cardinals won’t be able to do much else in free agency right now and they still have needs to fill.
