Around this time, a year ago, the Arizona Cardinals were in a pickle. General manager Steve Keim and his cohorts were busy crunching salary-cap numbers. It was basically a case of so many free agents, so little cash for the club.
The Cards don’t have as many worries this time around. Sure, there are players without contracts that they’d like to have back. 2017’s group, however, included members (Chandler Jones, Calais Campbell and Tony Jefferson among others) that were considered more vital to the squad than any in the current class.
John Brown may be the most-interesting of the 2018 free agents.
