Arizona Cardinals offseason personnel tracker heading to 2025 NFL draft

[ASFN Admin]

With the 2025 NFL draft a few days away and free agent signings in the NFL down to a trickle, it’s a good time to review the Arizona Cardinals’ offseason. We will also do this prior to the draft for the other three teams in the NFC West.

Of the 10 players added from other teams, nine were signed as unrestricted free agents and one as a free agent after not being tendered as a restricted free agent (cornerback Jaylon Jones).

The additions had a slight edge to defense with six on that side of the ball and four on offense. There were three linebackers, two defensive linemen and offensive linemen plus one cornerback, quarterback and wide receiver.

Following is a snapshot of who remains unsigned along with players added, re-signed and those that departed. The basic contract information is included for each player, while the number in parentheses are the games played/started in 2024.

The 10 players added played 118 games in 2024 and started 65, while the six that are no longer Cardinals played 82 and started 18.
