The Arizona Cardinals hope that Robert Alford can play well in 2021 after injuries caused him to miss the previous two seasons.

Two years have now passed since the Arizona Cardinals front office made one of the most frustrating acquisitions in franchise history.

Cardinals general manager Steve Keim believed he had solved the club’s No. 2 cornerback dilemma when he signed veteran Robert Alford to a three-year, $22.5 million contract in 2019.

However, the optimism surrounding Alford went away when the cover guy suffered not one, but two season-ending injuries in consecutive summers.
