Markus Golden

FA Linebacker #91

Markus Golden retired from the NFL after nine NFL seasons.

Golden’s decision comes eight days after re-signing with the Steelers. He remained productive in his final NFL season, totaling 5.0 NFL sacks while producing a career-best 17.0 percent pass-rush win rate. He spent seven seasons with the Cardinals, who drafted him in the 2015 NFL draft’s second round. He retires with 53.5 NFL sacks to his name.
Marvin Harrison Jr.

ARI Wide Receiver #18

Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said Marvin Harrison Jr. will play in the team’s preseason opener against the Saints.

This will be our first look at Harrison in an NFL uniform. The No. 4 overall pick in this year’s draft is expected to step into a high target share in his rookie season after amassing 155 receptions for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns during his two seasons at Ohio State. Harrison and third-year tight end Trey McBride could both be amongst the elite target earners at their position this season, making for a potentially strong stacking opportunity in fantasy drafts this season.
Greg Dortch

ARI Wide Receiver #4

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said WR Greg Dortch will have a “big year.”

Gannon gushed about the fifth-year wideout, saying Dortch has. “look in his eye” and “is a gamer ... ready to buckle up and play football.” Dortch has been good when called upon during his time with the Cards. He has 76 receptions over the past two seasons for 750 yards and four touchdowns. His slot usage went from 83 percent in 2022 to 29 percent in 2023. Dortch could shape up as the team’s WR2 behind Marvin Harrison, Jr. this season if he maintains good form headed into the regular season.
Kyler Murray

ARI Quarterback #1

ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss reports the Cardinals won’t play Kyler Murray in the preseason.

Serving likely as a precaution, we’ll have to wait until the regular season to see the Murray-to-Marvin Harrison connection. Murray is another season removed from an ACL injury and looks to bounce back in 2024. The Cardinals likely feel good about where Murray and the offense is to this point and will use practices to gauge their progression.
Zaven Collins

ARI EDGE #25

Cardinals signed EDGE Zaven Collins to a two-year, $14 million contract extension.

The deal includes $11.25 million in guaranteed money. The former first-round pick has yet to fully live up to his No. 16 overall selection, with the timing of the extension hinting more at necessity than a true fit schematically. Arizona previously declined his fifth-year option but chose to extend him for two years the day after BJ Ojulari suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury. Either way, look for Collins to see his snap rate increase dramatically off the edge.
BJ Ojulari

ARI EDGE

Cardinals EDGE BJ Ojulari suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season.

Ojulari was expected to take a second-year leap with the Cards after totaling four sacks and five TFLs as a rookie last season. The 2023 second-round pick reportedly suffered his injury during Friday’s training camp practice and was confirmed out for the season shortly after. Rookie Darius Robinson, who the team selected with the No. 27 overall pick in this year’s draft, will likely be tasked with filling a bigger role in Ojulari’s absence.
Michael Wilson

ARI Wide Receiver #14

The Arizona Republic reports second-year pro Michael Wilson is running ahead of free agent addition Zay Jones to begin Cardinals training camp.

A buzzed-about rookie third-rounder last season, Wilson was limited to 13 games by injury but still managed to flash for 38/565/3 in the Cardinals’ compromised offense. At 6-foot-2, he’s a natural outside complement to first-round rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. Wilson nailing down work on the outside would leave Jones and Greg Dortch fighting for primary slot duties.
Kenyan Drake

FA Running Back #32

Kenyan Drake retired after eight seasons in the NFL.

Drake made the announcement via a photo collage Instagram post, saying “he wouldn’t change a thing” about his time in the NFL. He finishes his career with 5,521 yards from scrimmage and 41 total touchdowns.
Trey Benson

ARI Running Back #33

Cardinals signed No. 66 overall pick RB Trey Benson to a four-year contract.

Benson’s signing comes just days before the Cardinals report to training camp. The former Florida State Seminole blazed a 4.39 40-yard dash at the combine earlier this offseason and has a versatile skillset that we’ve come to expect from a three-down back. For now, Benson will serve as the RB2 behind veteran James Conner. However, he remains a solid fantasy stash who could prove to have some stand-alone value in PPR leagues if he sees enough work in the passing game. He would profile as a high-end RB2 if Conner were to miss time at any point in the season.
James Conner

ARI Running Back #6

PHNX Cardinals’ Johnny Venerable said James Conner will “see the bulk share” of the team’s backfield workload in 2024.

The Arizona coaching staff, Venerable said, “loves” Conner and his tough running and veteran leadership. “The best version of this offense last year ran through [Conner],” Venerable said during an interview with Rotoworld’s Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter. “James Conner is one of their best players.” Venerable suggested Michael Carter could mix in behind Conner, rather than rookie RB Trey Benson functioning as the clear RB2. Benson, the 66th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is considered an explosive back, though he never had more than 20 rushing attempts in a single game during his college career. We would expect Benson to be the Cardinals’ lead back should the 29-year-old Conner once again miss time with injury in 2024.
