Gilbert opting out may be something we could have expected, based on the signing of veteran free agent Kelvin Beachum.
The right tackle position was not a need with last year's starter Justin Murray and third round pick Josh Jones in house, but Beachum would give the Cardinals the veteran presence they sought last year as well in Jordan Mills.
