If there is one aspect that remains a constant on the Cardinals' offense, it is the fact that they have two consistent wide receivers that headline their receiving corp alongside tight end Trey McBride.
Marvin Harrison Jr. in his second year saw a decrease in production from that of a year prior, but he missed four games. Two with appendicitis and two with a heel injury. Harrison caught 41 passes for 608 yards and four touchdowns. However, when he was absent, he saw the wide out on the otherside break out in a big way.
Michael Wilson, a third-year out of Stanford, answered the call flawlessly when Harrison was out with injury or illness. When given the reps as the No. 1 wide out, he hauled in 499 yards and three touchdowns (124.8 yards/game). Appearing in all 17 games, Wilson eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving for the first time in his career.
When it came to finding depth at the position, the team lacked it. This is a huge reason why they should go after one of the most intriguing options on the market at wide receiver. A guy who hinted at the fact that he may have played his final snap with the Green Bay Packers.

Cardinals should sign WR Romeo Doubs
Doubs, 25, finished his fourth year with 55 catches for 724 yards (career high) and six touchdowns. He served as the perfect security blanket for quarterback Jordan Love.
However, it seems as Doub’s time in Wisconsin may be coming to an end, as the young wide receiver made an instagram post with the following caption.
“I am only thankful and grateful. Another year of ball, and growth. The connectedness and camaraderie goes a long way.God I ask that you guide my steps moving forward.”
We don’t know the full context, but it is true that he is a pending free agent with the chance to earn a solid payday. Perhaps a guy that Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort should target this offseason to sure up the receiving corps.
It will be interesting to see how aggressive Arizona is this offseason when it comes to adding weapons to the offense.
