The Arizona Cardinals traded guard Jonathan Cooper to the New England Patriots on Tuesday, and they are wasting no time finding a potential replacement. The team brought in Evan Mathis and Geoff Schwartz for visits, and offered Mathis a contract.
The 49ers brought Geoff Schwartz in for a visit a few years back, but nothing came of it. The team brought in Ted Larsen for a visit this year, indicating they recognize the need for more depth on the offensive line. Larsen is viewed more as a utility option, although he replaced Cooper briefly as a starting guard for the Cardinals last year.
