Receiver

Once one of the deepest positions the Cardinals had, now the Cardinals could be scrambling in the offseason to find help at this skill position.

The Cardinals will need to make a decision with Michael Floyd.  With another disappointing season almost in the books for him, he has become more of a liability than help.

How about J.J. Nelson?  He’s fast no doubt.  However over the last couple of weeks he has proven unreliable as well.  Dropped balls continue to hamper him and the Cardinals.

The Cardinals are bringing back Jaron Brown.  John Brown has been sporadic this season.  He also has Sickle Cell Trait.  Is that bothering his performance more than anyone is leading on?

Larry Fitzgerald seemingly will return but at what cost?  Some have speculated about retirement for him as well.  He still is bringing it every week.  I have a hard time believing he will hang it up given how this season has transpired.
