Arizona Cardinals Monti Ossenfort Continues Slow and Steady Approach

Locked On Cardinals - Daily Podcast On The Arizona Cardinals

After the 2022 NFL season, the Arizona Cardinals were in shambles. There was zero trust in the head coach and general manager, Kyler Murray had a torn ACL, and there was no fix to the problem in site. Years of failed drafts and overpriced free agents had put the Cardinals in a zero win situation, unless Michael Bidwill finally decided to make a change. He did. With Monti Ossenfort supplanting Steve Keim as GM, an entirely new thought process on how to construct and run a team came with him. Slow, steady, and a lot of the time, boring. Build through the draft. Sign key free agents at team-friendly contracts, and organically build a winner. That's exactly what he's doing. While the term "winning franchise" may be a year or so away, the groundwork that's being laid is through a methodical, calculated approach. With second year players like Paris Johnson Jr and Michael Wilson positioned to take a leap in 2024, paired with rookies like Marvin Harrison Jr, Max Melton, Trey Benson, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, and Xavier Thomas ready to make an impact starting in Week 1, the Arizona Cardinals are build just how Monti Ossenfort wanted. With that, a pleasant surprise of a player, Hjalte Froholdt, got a contract extended that will keep him wiht the Arizona Cardinals through the 2026 season. Slow and steady. Which other veteran quarterbacks aside from Ryan Tannehill are available if the Cardinals want to bolster their QB room? And, Budda Baker and James Conner need to be JJ Watt in 2024. Let's discuss.
