Worst: CB Robert Alford
It’s been tough sledding so far for Cardinals’ cornerback Robert Alford.
Alford came to the Cardinals on a three-year, $22 million dollars from the Atlanta Falcons as he was signed to provide some depth in a near-depleted Cardinals secondary with the six-game suspension of Patrick Peterson and second-round rookie in Byron Murphy. It became even more depleted as Alford suffered a broken that landed him on injured reserve before he even played a snap for the team.
While the contract itself isn’t exactly an albatross, the Cardinals will be paying $7.5 million in 2020 to a 31-year-old player with uncertainty coming from the leg injury. Even if the Cardinals were to cut him, they will eat $3 million in dead money if he is released or traded before June 1st.
Not the worst situation, but definitely not a great one for the Cardinals.
