The Arizona Cardinals defensive unit needs to get a stellar performance this coming fall out of the free-agent cornerback.
When Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim began his preparations for the 2021 offseason, locking down a shutdown cornerback was a high priority.
The need at the position became even more dire when Patrick Peterson left the club to sign a contract with the Minnesota Vikings. It’s not known if the Cards had any interest in bringing the 31-year-old back into the nest, but Peterson’s departure definitely left Arizona with a gigantic need for a number-one cover guy.
