The Arizona Cardinals did not utilize the NFL’s franchise tag deadline, as they did not have any marquee free agents that would warrant such a commitment. Only two players in the entire NFL were tagged this year, marking the fewest number since 1994. The Cardinals have over $70 million in cap space going into free agency and general manager Monti Ossenfort emphasized the importance of making smart decisions and not overspending in the free agency market. The team is focused on building their roster through both free agency and the upcoming draft. Some key players set to hit free agency for the Cardinals include Kyzir White, Will Hernandez, and Baron Browning. Arizona has historically used the franchise tag sparingly, with the last two instances being Kenyan Drake in 2020 and Chandler Jones in 2017. The team aims to make strategic moves to improve their roster and maintain flexibility in the upcoming season.
