One perfect free agency signing for each NFL team
Arizona Cardinals – Adam Humphries
If the Cardinals are going to get on the right track, they need to do everything within their power to make Josh Rosen a success. A big part of that equation needs to be surrounding him with quality talent at wide receiver. Larry Fitzgerald isn’t going to play forever.
Humphries isn’t a like for like replacement for the sure-fire Hall of Famer, but he’s a young wideout who can grow up with Rosen in this offense. The former Clemson stand out had a big year with Tampa Bay in 2018. He finished the campaign with 76 catches for 817 yards and five touchdowns.
It’s easy to envision Humphries developing into a safety blanket for Rosen in the near future. He is a precise route runner with really good hands. Christian Kirk is the guy who can take the top off of defenses for the Cardinals, but they still need a guy who can produce solid gains via underneath routes. That happens to be Humphries’ specialty.
Cardinals fans need to understand that Humphries won’t come cheap. This is not a deep free agent class at the wide receiver position. He’s a player that will draw a lot of attention from teams looking to add a reliable pass catcher. Humphries would be a costly acquisition for Arizona, but he’d be a huge boost for Rosen.
