With free agency frenzy winding down, there are still a few interesting wide receivers available that the Arizona Cardinals could target.

The Arizona Cardinals signing oft-injured but freakishly talented Kevin White is a good start to rebuilding their wide receiver core, but it’s still not ready for the 2019 season. Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk will surely be go-to options for the Cardinals, but they need some more depth behind them.

While I believe Steve Keim will target wide receiver help in either the second or third round of the draft, adding some talent that can produce now is essential. Keim knows this as well, as he hasn’t been afraid to add former star players or aging veterans to small deals in order to win now. Coming off a 3-13 season, he’s already started to add some veteran talent, but he will surely add more, right?

With that being said, none of these players will fill a hole for the future. Rather, they will serve as stop-gaps while they develop young talents such as Trent Sherfield, Kevin White, and draft picks. Now, let’s talk receivers.
