The Arizona Cardinals and their fans were rightfully disappointed in how the 2021 season finished. A team that held the No. 1 seed in the NFL for the majority of the season collapsed against their division rival Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs.
Fans were then hoping for another great offseason to put the team over the edge and take another step forward in 2022. The past two offseasons have been full of big-ticket moves and acquisitions that has turned the team into a playoff contender, with all credit due to general manager Steve Keim.
However, fans became frustrated and rather confused when the Cardinals were dead silent for the first week of free agency. There weren’t even any reports of the team having interest in any of the elite free agents, and one by one each found new teams.
