Good news for the Arizona Cardinals. With $15,184,209 in cap space (per ESPN), the Cardinals are in prime position to add to their needs at wide receiver, running back, cornerback, and potentially the edge position.
How did this happen? After winning the J.J. Watt Sweepstakes earlier in the month, the Cardinals then released and immediately re-signed cornerback Robert Alford in a cost-saving move.
