The Arizona Cardinals are sitting at a grim 1-4 record right now, and with the NFL’s trade deadline coming up in November, the talk is already heating up. Teams that are struggling and don’t look like they’re making a playoff push are gonna start looking at how to grab some extra resources for next offseason, hoping to flip their whole situation around fast. And for the Cardinals, one name is getting tossed around a lot in the media: edge rusher Josh Sweat.
Cardinals Eyeing a Deadline Move?
When you’re 1-4, you gotta be honest with yourself, right? The Cardinals don’t exactly have a ton of superstar pieces they can put on the trade block and get a king’s ransom for. But Sweat is different. He’s a legit edge rusher, and for a team that’s basically out of the postseason picture already, moving him makes a whole lotta sense if they’re trying to build for the future. It’s the kind of move that can sting in the short term, but if it sets them up better for next year, you gotta consider it.
What’s the Price Tag for Sweat?
So, if the Cardinals are serious about shipping Sweat out, what’s the market like for an edge rusher like him? People are already asking: what would be the minimum package you’d take for him? Are we talking a second-round pick? Or maybe just a third? It’s a huge question because that draft capital could be massive for a team trying to rebuild. Getting a high pick for a guy they might lose anyway or who doesn’t fit their long-term timeline anymore is how you turn a rough season into future success. The next few weeks are gonna be wild as this deadline gets closer.
