The Arizona Cardinals are reshaping their roster with significant changes as they enter the offseason. Key free agents such as Kyzir White, Jesse Luketa, and Dennis Gardeck are unlikely to return. White and Gardeck were both starters and team captains, but their jersey numbers have been reassigned—White's No. 7 to Jacoby Brissett and Gardeck's No. 45 to rookie Oscar Cardenas. Luketa, who ended last season on injured reserve, was not tendered and has yet to find a new team, with his No. 43 now belonging to Mykal Walker.

This move hints at the Cardinals' commitment to moving forward without these veterans as they look to integrate new talent like Akeem Davis-Gaither and rookie Cody Simon into the defensive lineup. Although Will Hernandez still has his No. 76 available, which leaves a glimmer of hope for his return, other free agents like Krys Barnes are also on the chopping block. As the offseason progresses, these roster decisions will shape the team's identity heading into the upcoming season.

The Arizona Cardinals are eyeing a possible return for offensive lineman Will Hernandez, who is currently recovering from a torn ACL. Despite being unsigned thus far, Hernandez's future with the team remains a topic of speculation, especially with the Cardinals not having added a clear starting guard through free agency or the draft.

A subtle but notable sign of Hernandez's potential return is the fact that his jersey number, 76, remains unassigned, which suggests the team may still have plans for him. The Cardinals did not assign this number to their sixth-round pick, Hayden Conner, who wore it throughout college. Hernandez's return could happen as soon as late July, around nine months post-injury, just before training camp begins.

The Indianapolis Colts are actively searching for free-agent guard options as they prepare for the upcoming NFL draft. After Will Fries' departure, the team's offensive line has become a focal point. Head coach Shane Steichen emphasized the need for a strong offensive line to protect the quarterback and enhance the running game. They are considering internal options like Matt Goncalves but could also look to free agency for additional reinforcements.

Among potential targets are Tyrstan Colon, known for his versatility across the interior line; Dalton Risner, who has shown effectiveness as a pass-blocker but has struggled in the run game; and Will Hernandez, who boasts a solid pass-blocking grade despite limited appearances last season. The Colts must weigh their options carefully, as improvements in the line could significantly impact their offensive performance.

The Seattle Seahawks' pursuit of free-agent guards has hit a snag with the recent signing of Dillon Radunz by the New Orleans Saints, a player who was previously on their radar. General Manager John Schneider seems to be reevaluating his strategy as other potential targets like Teven Jenkins and Lucas Patrick have signed with different teams. Fortunately, there's still a wealth of talented guards available in free agency that the Seahawks can target for upgrades on their offensive line.

Among the notable options are Brandon Scherff, who despite aging, provides veteran experience and was solid on the line for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. Will Hernandez is another intriguing candidate, coming off a strong season with the Arizona Cardinals where he allowed no sacks. Lastly, Dalton Risner, formerly with the Minnesota Vikings, has familiarity with the Seahawks' new quarterback Sam Darnold, which could enhance their offensive cohesion. Investing in one or more of these players could significantly bolster the Seahawks’ offensive line heading into the upcoming season.
