The Cardinals continued to lay a foundation under second-year coach Jonathan Gannon, going 8–9 while being competitive throughout the 2024 NFL season. Their strength was offense, with Kyler Murray, James Conner, Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. all providing threats to a defense.
While the offense stands to be the team’s strength once more, the defense should be improved with first-round pick Walter Nolen on the line’s interior joining edge rusher Josh Sweat, who came over from the Eagles on a four-year, $76 million deal.
