If they could only keep six, which wide receivers stay on the Arizona Cardinals 2020 roster?

The reduction of a NFL roster down to the 53 players currently allowed for each team is a painful process for every team. It is unavoidable that players who could have provided something of value have to be cut in order to hit that requisite roster number.

Going into the 2020 season, the wide receivers room in Arizona is crowded. Currently there are 14 receivers on the Cardinals’ roster and with the average NFL team only retaining six for their 53-man roster there will be painful cuts ahead.

The list of Arizona Cardinals wide receivers:

Jermiah Braswell

Hakeem Butler

Johnnie Dixon

Larry Fitzgerald

DeAndre Hopkins

Andy Isabella

KeeSean Johnson

Christian Kirk

Shane Leatherbury

Rashad Medaris

Devin Phelps

A.J. Richardson

Trent Sherfield

JoJo Ward

A major talking point of the offseason has the been the talented “big three” of Fitzgerald, Hopkins, and Kirk. With a talented core of pass catchers it will be difficult for the names on the bottom of the list to make the final cut. The uncertainties of training camp and reduced time in front of coaches makes it even more difficult for those outside the core to make an impression.

If the Cardinals do decide to keep only six wide receivers, who are the ones most likely to make the cut?
