By no means does this mean the situation won’t change between now and training camp, however for now the Arizona Cardinals do not have a kicking competition. They released kicker Cole Murphy this past week.
Many felt the Cardinals made the right move by bringing in Gonzalez late last season. He performed well in Arizona in 2018.
Gonzalez, drafted by the Cleveland Browns out of Arizona State in 2017, went 7-9 in his five games with the Cardinals last season. In some minds, that should have been good enough to keep him as the kicker going forward.
