One need for Arizona that likely is not talked about too much in many circles is their need for a playmaker next to Jordan Hicks.

Hicks had quite the stat-stuffed first year with the Cardinals, finishing with 150 tackles and 3 interceptions, but most fans and analysts would agree that he could perhaps use a partner in crime.

Joe Walker stepped in admirably, but if the Cardinals feel that they need to spend some of their cash at linebacker, here are a few free agents for them to consider.

Cory Littleton

If there is a linebacker that would make the most sense for Arizona, it would seem to be Littleton. The quick linebacker had his own stat-stuffing season for the Rams in 2019 with 134 tackles, four sacks and two INTs.

Littleton would also help the Cardinals with one of their biggest issues on defense last season – covering tight ends — and he comes from a 3-4 scheme that would be easy for him to assimilate into Vance Joseph’s defense.
