It was back in February that general manager Steve Keim promised fans an “aggressive” offseason for the Arizona Cardinals. Four months later, the club’s work during the free agency period could be classified as mediocre, at best. In fact, with training camp roughly a month away, several holes in the roster remain.
It can be argued that the squad really hasn’t been upgraded at all. The best free agent addition, from this viewpoint at least, appears to be a kicker (yes, a kicker!). Veteran Phil Dawson is certainly a fine one, a significant step-up from the shaky, departed Chandler Catanzaro.
