NFL Free Agency 2020: 3 Targets for each team
Arizona Cardinals
1. Austin Hooper
2. Connor McGovern
3. Kamalei Correa
The Cardinals have a lot of their own free agents they would ideally like to re-sign, so Arizona will have to be smart about how it uses the franchise’s $39m in cap space.
That said, tight end has long been a problem area for the Cardinals. Having seen the damage George Kittle and to a lesser extent Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett have done inside the NFC West, the Cardinals would be negligent not to try fix that issue.
Hooper will not be short of suitors, but the Cardinals should have pulling power after the rapid development displayed by Kyler Murray. Theirs is an offense players will want to be a part of.
Center A.Q. Shipley will be a free agent and the Cardinals can get younger on the interior of the line by signing McGovern, who has the versatility to play guard as well.
Chandler Jones remains an elite edge rusher but could use more in the way of assistance. Correa will be affordable and, though he has failed to meet expectations since entering the league as a Ravens second-round pick, he is well versed in the 3-4 and had 5.5 sacks in 2019.
