BREAKING DOWN THE BIRDS
With the season coming to a close, azcardinals.com writer Darren Urban gives his personal take on the 
majority of the Cardinals’ roster heading into the offseason. UFA is unrestricted free agent. RFA is restricted 
free agent, whose movement can be controlled with a tender offer, which gives right of first refusal. ER is 
exclusive rights, meaning a player must accept a tender offer. PS is practice squad.  

QUARTERBACKS CONTRACT EXPIRES  COMMENT
Rich Bartel ER Liked in third QB role
Max Hall ER If hadn’t been on IR, would have been released
Kevin Kolb 2016 Faces defining season in 2012
John Skelton 2013 Should get chance to wrest No. 1 from Kolb

RUNNING BACKS CONTRACT EXPIRES COMMENT
Anthony Sherman 2014 Showed promise as rookie FB/special teamer
L. Stephens-Howling RFA Has niche as change-of-pace back/special teamer
Alfonso Smith ER Makes sense as 4th RB; good on special teams
Chester Taylor UFA With R.Williams returning, Taylor won’t
Beanie Wells 2013 Proved a lot gaining 1,000 yards while hurt
Ryan Williams 2014 On schedule to be at camp after torn patella

WIDE RECEIVERS CONTRACT EXPIRES COMMENT
Early Doucet UFA Return may hinge on outside interest
Larry Fitzgerald 2018 Gets new contract then has perhaps best year
Andre Roberts 2013 Flashed at times; Might have No. 2 competition
DeMarco Sampson 2014 Injuries made it difficult for him to progress
Chansi Stuckey 2012 Future cloudy after a year without impact
Stephen Williams ER A mystery, and faces big offseason in order to stick

TIGHT ENDS CONTRACT EXPIRES COMMENT
Jim Dray 2013 Has been solid on special teams
Todd Heap 2012 Disappointing debut but figures to return
Rob Housler 2014 You can see talent but had slow rookie season
Jeff King 2013 Good blocker and catches ball better than advertised

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN CONTRACT EXPIRES  COMMENT
D’Anthony Batiste (T) UFA May be needed considering tackle issues
Jeremy Bridges (T) 2013 Cards like him as depth; Brings an edge
Levi Brown (T) 2012 $16.9M cap number means new deal or cut
Daryn Colledge (G) 2015 One of the sure things for O-line next season
Rex Hadnot  (G) 2012 Will be interesting to see if keeps starting job
Brandon Keith (T) UFA Injured often; Cards must decide whether to stick with
Deuce Lutui (G) UFA A curious case; After last offseason, anything possible
Lyle Sendlein (C) 2015 The captain and anchor of the line
Floyd Womack (G/T) UFA On IR all year. Return in doubt.
D.J. Young (T) 2012 Cards saw something: Promoted from PS to keep in ‘12

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN CONTRACT EXPIRES COMMENT
David Carter 2014 A pleasant surprise as 6th -round rookie NT
Calais Campbell UFA Great season. He will re-sign or be franchised
Darnell Dockett 2015 Took a while to accept new scheme, but finished strong
Nick Eason 2012 Solid on field, even better in locker room
Vonnie Holliday UFA May be aging but worth bringing back for on/off field
Daryl Talley ER Likely will return, at least to fight for a spot at camp
Dan Williams 2014 Broken arm cut short season; Needs to watch weight

LINEBACKERS CONTRACT EXPIRES COMMENT
Sam Acho 2014 Seven sacks way more than expected
Stewart Bradley 2015 A head-scratcher. Must play much better in 2012
Clark Haggans UFA Impressive season. Will that mean one more year?
Paris Lenon 2012 Has exceeded expectations in his two Az years
Joey Porter UFA Finished with Cards, and maybe period
O’Brien Schofield 2013 Improved as year went on, but still learning
Quan Sturdivant PS Draft pick needs an offseason to grow
Reggie Walker RFA Will have to fight to stick around
Daryl Washington 2013 Had a good year, could be great in ‘12
Brandon Williams ER Would think Cards will bring him to camp

DEFENSIVE BACKS CONTRACT EXPIRES COMMENT
Hamzah Abdullah (S) UFA Special teamer’s future may depend on others
Michael Adams (CB) 2012 Will have to fight to stick but ST play helps
Crezdon Butler (CB) 2012 Cards will take a long look at him in camp
Sean Considine (S) UFA Good on special teams but that might not be enough
Marshay Green (CB) 2012 Still seems raw to have roster potential
A.J. Jefferson (CB) ER They will keep working with him
Rashad Johnson (S) UFA Improved after replacing Rhodes. Will test market
Korey Lindsey (CB) PS Couldn’t get ahead of Green for late-season callup
Richard Marshall (CB/S) UFA Cards need to re-sign Horton’s MVP
Patrick Peterson (CB) 2015 Will become Cards’ top CB by next season
Kerry Rhodes (S) 2013 Injuries wrecked his season
Greg Toler (CB) RFA Expected back in mix after ACL injury
Adrian Wilson (S) 2013 Another Pro Bowl after finding himself in the scheme

SPECIALISTS CONTRACT EXPIRES COMMENT
Mike Leach (LS) UFA The reality: Might seek someone younger (cheaper)
Jay Feely (K) UFA Bumpy start but rallied. Wants to return.
Dave Zastudil (P) UFA Dealt with injuries. Will Cards seek youth?

Rashad Johnson is not an UFA---he's a RFA.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Rashad Johnson is not a good Free Safety!

FIFY...
