2023 Arizona Cardinals Seek Flight After Last Season’s Crash

2023 Arizona Cardinals Seek Flight After Last Season’s Crash

The Arizona Cardinals are one year removed from extending quarterback Kyler Murray on a monster deal. Now it feels like everything is up in the air in Arizona. New head coach Jonathan Gannon will have his work cut out for him in his first season leading a team. Consider the 2024 Super Bowl odds. It is true that the Cardinals are an NFL odds longshot. Hence, they’re projected to have the following draft picks next year in the first three rounds: Nos. 1, 2, 33, 65, 66, and 68. Thus, a lost season won’t be totally lost.

The Cardinals didn’t receive a prime-time sportsbook matchup in 2023. That includes not having a Thursday night game. Following the NFL changing the rules that once required teams to have at least one every season. Head coach Jonathan Gannon is returning to Philadelphia. That is where he helped lead the Eagles to Super Bowl LVII in Week 17.

2023 Arizona Cardinals Offseason Moves

The Cardinals endured more NFL betting odds losses than gains in free agency. And that’s never great news when coming off a 4-13 campaign. Defensive end Zach Allen, cornerback Byron Murphy Jr., and edge defender Markus Golden departed from the defense.

Of course, the Cardinals cannot afford to perform poorly defensively. Arizona has a question mark at quarterback due to an injured Kyler Murray. Their one addition in linebacker Kyzir White was positive. White has five straight seasons earning a coverage grade above 60.0.

Now with J.J. Watt retiring, BJ Ojulari will look to follow in his massive footsteps. Ojulari will generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. That’s a mighty tall order for the rookie out of LSU. But Arizona added a lot of help on both sides of the ball. Correlate that Arizona has a clear long-term vision for new general manager Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon.
