Cardinals promise to be ‘active’ in free agency

NFL free agency begins in a couple of weeks and the Arizona Cardinals are preparing for that. Last offseason, they signed a lot of players but didn’t make much of a splash. The biggest contract they gave was to linebacker Kyzir White, who got a two-year, $10 million deal.

With more than $57 million in cap space with the new salary cap of $255.4 million, the Cardinals could be big players.

General manager Monti Ossenfort only promises one thing about free agency.

“We are definitely going to be active in free agency,” he said on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM this past week. “What does that mean? I can’t spell that out for you right now. I don’t know what that means right now because we don’t completely control that.

“There’s a market and there are players we think are going to be available right now that two weeks from now are not going to be available.”

Ossenfort would not say what areas on the roster the Cardinals will focus their efforts, saying only they want good players who fit on the field and off the field.

March 11 is when teams can begin contacting free agents from other teams.
