The Cardinals signed six rookie free agents. Draft Wire does not project any of them to make the 53-man roster.
The Arizona Cardinals have had success with rookie free agents coming in and making the team. Last year, receiver Xaver Weaver made the team. In 2023, it was running back Emari Demercado. In other seasons, guys like Tony Jefferson, Trent Sherfield, Zeke Turner and Dennis Gardeck have started successful NFL careers as undrafted rookies.
The Cardinals signed six rookie free agents this year after the draft.
Could any of them make the 53-man roster?
Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy projected which rookie free agents around the league could make their teams’ rosters.
Of the 11 players listed, none were on the Cardinals.
This year’s undrafted rookies for the Cardinals will have a tough time cracking the roster. They signed three offensive linemen, a defensive lineman, a receiver and a tight end.
The defensive line room is already loaded and they will likely have to trade or cut a player who could start somewhere. The offensive linemen they signed will have a tough time making the roster, especially since they ar tackles. The Cardinals already have two backup tackles in Kelvin Beachum and Christian Jones, although perhaps one of them could beat out Jones potentially. Could Bryson Green crack the receiver room or Oscar Cardenas earn the fourth tight end role? Possibly, but we will have to see.
