Cardinals Seek Key Free Agents Amid 2025 Offseason

As the NFL offseason approaches, teams are evaluating key players on expiring contracts and potential free-agent targets to prepare for roster changes. The Arizona Cardinals, who finished the 2024 season with an 8-9 record, are expected to be active in free agency to bolster their lineup, especially after a disappointing end to the season. They are considering adding an elite offensive lineman like Smith or versatile players like Patrick Mekari to strengthen their offensive line. Additionally, the Cardinals may focus on defensive enhancements, aiming to acquire impactful players in the draft or free agency to improve their pass rush. Amidst these changes, the Cardinals also faced the departure of past players, such as Zach Ertz, who found success with the Washington Commanders, highlighting the importance of strategic signings. Meanwhile, the MLB free-agent market is active with notable signings, including Kyle Higashioka and Christian Walker securing multi-year contracts, showcasing a competitive offseason across major leagues.
