This is going to be an important offseason for the Arizona Cardinals. There are a lot of questions and the answers to those questions will greatly affect the future of this franchise. Is Kurt Warner retiring? Can Matt Leinart keep this franchise going in the right direction? How can the defense be improved? Below are the areas that I believe need addressing.
Arizona Cardinals team needs
1. Tackle
- Jeremy Bridges cannot be counted on and Levi Brown has not developed as expected. So whether Warner returns or not this position needs an influx of talent. I also feel that Coach Whisenhunt would like to put more focus on his running attack, especially if there is a change at the quarterback position.
2. Linebacker
- The Cardinals could lose Carlos Dansby and need upgrades throughout the linebacking core. The draft is a great place to get depth and playmakers at the linebacker position.
3. Quarterback
- This is going to be a very hot topic throughout the offseason. Everyone is awaiting Kurt Warner’s decision and most anticipate that he will retire. So the big question is whether or not Matt Leinart can run this high powered offense. I am willing to bet that most Cardinal fans are not very comfortable handing the keys over to Leinart. While there may be other more pressing needs, a long term answer at the quarterback position has to be the most important.
