One of the biggest responsibilities of the Arizona Cardinals’ front office is their management of the salary cap. Fitting the salaries of 53 players under that league-mandated, maximum number is far from an easy task. Some of the Cardinals gobble up huge chunks of the “cap”, while others count very little against it.
David Johnson, who missed most of last season with a wrist injury, may be 2018’s biggest bargain. A $2,066,844 cap hit for a running back who’s the focal point of the Arizona offense is a flat-out steal. Johnson is in line to receive a gigantic raise, so his salary could become significantly larger in the near future.
