Steve Keim has supplemented his roster as General Manager for three straight years by finding veterans on one-year contracts who have turned to gold – Karlos Dansby, Antonio Cromartie, Chris Johnson, among others.
But as the Cardinals push toward the playoffs with one of the best records in the NFL, Keim has taken it a step further, adding key veterans after the season had already started.
Three defensive pieces, all playing significant snaps, signed well after the 2015 season started. Linebacker Dwight Freeney came in after five weeks and leads the Cardinals with seven sacks.
