The most notable of these trades involve linebacker Isaiah Simmons and former starting offensive tackle Josh Jones.

Simmons, a promising young linebacker, has been traded for a 7th-round draft pick.While the Cardinals haven’t explicitly stated their motivations behind this move, it has raised eyebrows due to Simmons’ potential and versatility on the field. Similarly, Josh Jones, who was previously a starting offensive tackle, has been dealt along with a draft pick in exchange for a 5th-round selection. These trades have led some to wonder if the Cardinals are intentionally deconstructing certain aspects of their roster.

Although the Cardinals’ front office has refrained from openly admitting to a deliberate “tanking” strategy, the recent moves bear resemblance to the kind of roster reshuffling often associated with teams aiming for a higher draft position. The focal point of this speculation is the potential pursuit of USC’s star quarterback, Caleb Williams. Widely regarded as a top prospect, Williams has captured attention with his impressive performances on the college stage.

The implications of these trades extend beyond the immediate roster adjustments. The tenure of Kyler Murray, the Cardinals’ current starting quarterback, has come under scrutiny. Observers suggest that the team’s recent maneuvers might signal an impending shift in leadership, hinting at Murray’s potential departure in the not-so-distant future.

While these moves have ignited speculation, it’s important to remember that the NFL landscape is dynamic and subject to rapid changes. The motivations behind the Cardinals’ recent trades might become clearer as the season progresses, and the team’s on-field performance could either validate or debunk the tanking theories. As fans eagerly await further developments, one thing is certain: the NFL is a league where surprises are the norm, and strategic decisions can shape the destiny of a franchise for years to come.

Some believe that Murray is angling for a big payday from Arizona while others believe that the Cards’ early playoff exit has something to do with it.

Murray could be looking for a way out but you’d have to ask why? The Cardinals have a nice roster and are poised to make a run in 2022, however the Buccaneers also have a championship ready roster that just needs someone to replace the GOAT Tom Brady.

Could the guy to replace the GOAT be Kyler Murray? Mike Evans hopes so:

Arizona QB Kyler Murray made history as the shortest quarterback to ever be taken #1 overall in the NFL Draft and with rookie photos coming out people are believing that he is even shorter than believed.

How tall is Kyler Murray exactly? Kyler is allegedly 5’10 but he’s shorter than the guy next to him that’s listed at 5’9. So that means that even with the optical illusion Kyler is probably in the 5’8 range.
