In light of Arizona’s quarterback troubles, Bears in line for another monster defensive performance

When Carson Palmer retired after the 2017 season, the Arizona Cardinals entered a state of bedlam at the quarterback position.

Their starting quarterback was suddenly not on the roster anymore. All of their backups - Blaine Gabbert, Drew Stanton and Matt Barkley - signed with different teams. Needless to say, Arizona was in need of a facelift at the most important position in football.

To replenish their talent at the roster, the Cardinals dished out big bucks to sign both Sam Bradford and Mike Glennon in free agency, and they traded up five spots in the 2018 NFL Draft to select UCLA signal-caller Josh Rosen.
