We continue our look at a position by position breakdown of the Cardinals roster.
The tight end position has been a position of weakness is past years. Whether it was the oft injured Todd Heap, Rob Housler with his drops, or last year when Troy Niklas was injured, and John Carlson was inconsistent.
Jake Ballard showed hope in 2013, and the hope carried over into 2014. He dropped a bombshell on the fans however, announcing his early retirement, citing the health of his knee. They entered the season with Rob Housler, John Carlson, Troy Niklas, and Darren Fells.
