Brandon Scherff rumors: 5 best fits in NFL free agency
Pick Analysis. NFC. West. player. Scouting Report. 32. 2. Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals certainly could upgrade the play along the interior of the offensive line, which Scherff would give an immediate boost.
Arizona enters the offseason approximately $7.5 million under the current salary cap, but can move on from guard Justin Pugh, and create $9.1 million in additional cap space. If Pugh is released, Scherff will likely be among Cardinals general manager Steve Keim’s first phone calls.
Kyler Murray is the future of the Cardinals’ franchise, but in his second NFL season was forced to withstand relentless pressure, absorbing 27 sacks, and was forced to scramble 51 times in 2020. If the Cardinals’ offense is going to reach even greater heights, keeping Murray upright is paramount, and Scherff would go a long way towards solidifying the offensive line while serving as an anchor along the interior.
