The Arizona Cardinals need help at the receiver position after the loss of Michael Floyd, and there are 5 guys that could help

While the Cardinals will be looking in the Draft, theres a nice list of Free Agents to be in 2017. When the Cardinals released Michael Floyd they lost a big receiver that was supposed to be the number one after Larry Fitzgerald retired. The Cardinals are down to Fitzgerald, John Brown, Jaron Brown, J.J Nelson, Brittan Golden, and recently signed Jeremy Ross from the Jets.

Fitzgerald is now year to year, and no one really knows when he is going to call it quits. Jaron Brown is on IR, after a promising start to the 2016 season. John Brown is battling a sickle cell in his leg and it looks to be affecting his play.

J.J Nelson is proving to the Cardinals he can be a threat and will definitely stick around. Golden is a likable special teams player and a solid reserve, he is also an emergency defensive back.

When the Cardinals enter the off season they need to think “Big receiver”.  Arizona will likely pursue this position in the draft. So the young guy can learn from a future hall of famer in Larry Fitzgerald, But there is also a nice list of free agents to be heading into the 2017 off season.
