Free Agency Landscape
The Arizona Cardinals have wrapped up free agency with a mix of new signings and the return of familiar faces. Several marquee names found new homes across the league, and the Cardinals addressed key areas, notably on the defensive line. Despite efforts to bolster the roster, the offensive line did not receive the same level of attention in the free agency process. While not among the league’s worst, the unit required additional depth and competition.
Offensive Line Depth and Strategy
With only a few free agent offensive linemen available who offer a clear fit, the focus shifted to potential hidden gems. The Cardinals have already reinforced their left side, successfully transitioning Paris Johnson Jr. into a role that has delivered significant results. On the right tackle position, however, questions remain even after re-signing Kelvin Beachum. The strategic need to solidify this position has led the organization to consider alternative options.
Reevaluating Jedrick Wills
Jedrick Wills emerges as a noteworthy candidate amid these deliberations. Previously selected as a top draft pick by the Browns for his anticipated role at left tackle, his career trajectory has not met those early expectations. Nonetheless, a key attribute of his game is his ability to play right tackle. Given the current uncertainty at this position for the Cardinals, Wills’ versatility could provide a valuable solution, injecting fresh competition and depth into the offensive line configuration.
