Cardinals sign Brooks Reed, Robert Alford after releases from Falcons

Related Topics: Brooks Reed, Falcon, Atlanta Falcons

The Arizona Cardinals have been mighty busy this week. Both linebacker Brooks Reed and cornerback Robert Alford were released by the Atlanta Falcons and both of them found themselves going to the Cardinals just days later.

The signing in and of itself is a bit odd considering the the Cardinals urgency and the Falcons playing more of a 4-3 system than a 3-4. The system fit isn’t a huge deal given the positions, if it were linemen it’d be a bit more interesting. In any case, the Cardinals scooped up two decent additions.
