The Arizona Cardinals are well aware that personnel decisions are not foolproof. Not every free agent who joins the nest is gonna work out. Along with the free agents hits Steve Keim has executed since his first season as GM in 2013, there have also been some misses.

Inside linebacker Jasper Brinkley arrived, fresh off of a 117-tackle campaign as a Minnesota Viking in 2012.
