The Arizona Cardinals' revamped defensive line is shaping up to be a cornerstone of their defense as they prepare for the upcoming season. The team has bolstered its roster significantly, bringing in veteran talents such as Dalvin Tomlinson and Calais Campbell, while also retaining L.J. Collier, who had an impressive run last season. The selection of promising rookie Walter Nolen adds to their already deep roster, which now features eight capable players capable of making an impact.

With a maximum of seven defensive linemen allowed on the final roster, the Cardinals face tough decisions ahead. Injury concerns from last season linger, especially with Justin Jones and Bilal Nichols missing significant time. If all eight players remain healthy, potential trade scenarios emerge. Dante Stills stands out as a candidate due to his youthful energy and productivity, while L.J. Collier’s contract situation makes him a possible cut. The Cardinals' strategic roster management could ultimately shape their defensive identity for 2024.
