The Arizona Cardinals are facing tough decisions on their defensive line after significant offseason acquisitions. With the addition of veterans Dalvin Tomlinson and Calais Campbell, plus the first-round draft pick of Walter Nolen, the team is now stacked with talent in the trenches. The influx of new personnel raises questions about the future of Justin Jones, a notable free agent signing last year, who missed the majority of the previous season due to injury. Despite his guaranteed salary in 2025, the financial implications of his contract make him a potential trade candidate.

On the other hand, younger players like Dante Stills, who has shown promise, could be more desirable for trading, while L.J. Collier’s less secure contract status makes him a likely cut option. As the Cardinals look to finalize their roster and manage their salary cap, these decisions will significantly impact their defensive strategy as they prepare for the upcoming season.
