The Arizona Cardinals have been quiet the first two days of free agency but they could still make some noise

With just one free agent signing outside of their own free agents in the first two days of the new league year, the Arizona Cardinals haven’t made the splash many had hoped but realistically they weren’t going to overspend for the sake of getting someone.  There are still a number of targets out there.

Expect the Cardinals to make some noise.  They won’t sit still but just don’t expect it on any particular day.  They want the right person not the biggest name.  Here are five available players the Cardinals could still target in free agency.

Prince Amukamara, CB

Depending on who you want to believe, the Cardinals may or may not be interested.  One source, John Gambadoro from Arizona Sports 98.7 says the Cardinals have reached out to the Valley high school product who has played his entire career so far with the New York Giants.

Another source, azcentral.com’s Kent Somers has indicated the Cardinals are not interested.  It sounds like they are using different sources because both Gambo and Somers are very trustworthy.

I indicated last week Amukamara would be a nice addition.  Even if he isn’t a perfect fit for what the Cardinals do on defense, he is still a valuable asset for any team.  Amukamara had 63 tackles and one interception in 2015. He has seven career interceptions since being drafted by the Giants in 2011.  He attended Apollo High School in Glendale.
