Amidst a flurry of drama surrounding one of the most dynamic players in the NFL, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, the team must also set their sights on free agency, which is only a month away.
Arizona’s offense, which did take a leap forward in 2021, has most of their skill position players set to hit the open market. James Conner, Zach Ertz, Chase Edmonds, Christian Kirk and A.J. Green were all starters at some point last season and were key contributors.
When All-Pro wideout DeAndre Hopkins suffered a season-ending MCL injury in early December, the offense looked dull from everyone not named James Conner or Zach Ertz. In particular, the receiving core struggled to gain any separation without the threat of Hopkins pulling attention away from them.
