He’s not a superstar by any means, but Josh Dobbs is still a member of the Arizona Cardinals’ 53-man roster. And as Kyler Murray works back toward his return, Dobbs is Arizona’s current starting quarterback — you know, the guy who helped the team to a massive upset win over the Dallas Cowboys.
You’d think they’d be better prepared to accommodate any and all merchandise related to him. You’d be wrong.
This past weekend, Dobbs posted a TikTok video where he explained that the Cardinals didn’t have his No. 9 jersey available in their team store. Even if he’s not a star or franchise player, that is simply unacceptable. And Arizona can’t use the excuse that he’s only been with the organization for about a month.
Josh Dobbs couldn’t buy his jersey at the Cardinals team store 😅

After Dobbs posted his initial video, the Cardinals made a point of correcting this issue … quickly. And Dobbs himself appreciated how they fixed the mix-up:
For those wondering, @josh_dobbs1 jersey availability from Saturday morning was quickly addressed and fixed by Saturday afternoon.

Whatever happened here, it definitely wasn’t a good look for the Cardinals. You can’t have rostered players without their apt jersey available for purchase. Especially in Dobbs’ case, as he just wanted one for his family. Everyone on the team — especially the current starting quarterback — deserves that respect.
This was how Twitter reacted
Every Cardinals fan and non-Cowboys fan going to buy this jersey ASAP after this massive W from Josh Dobbs: https://t.co/znjTTRFnAt pic.twitter.com/ns7vK2JMUe
