The Arizona Cardinals have definitely not remained quiet at the start of the new NFL league year

The Arizona Cardinals got things going early Monday morning with a trade announcement.  This was before the league year started on Wednesday but just after the legal tampering period began. They were wasting no time.

Since their trade of running back David Johnson, the Cardinals have added several free agents.  Some are wondering where they have found the money but before the start of business on Thursday, the Cardinals still had over $15 million in cap space available.

This did not include any players they still plan to release.  We’d imagine some of those moves will be made once the first wave of free agents have been signed and trades completed.

The Cardinals may be done with big names but certainly nowhere near where they need to be just yet.  The added on both sides of the ball this week.

So how have the Cardinals have done?  We grade their moves so far.
