The Cardinals had a few interesting cuts today: LB Owen Pappoe, DL Jonah Williams, CB Sean Murphy-Bunting and TE Teagan Quitoriano all stood out to me.
The trade for Hunter Long was the writing on the wall for Quitoriano.
Wasn't surprised by LB B.J. Ojulari, CB Elijah Jones or CB Starling Thomas V.
With James Conner going on the IR/designated to return list, there's some clarity on his status and health.
A few things of note that stood out:
- The Cardinals kept seven wide receivers, as I projected.
- Rookie S Wydett Williams Jr., who could've gone back to Ole Miss, made the roster.
- Keeping three running backs likely means Jeremiyah Love will be good for Week 1.
Here are all the cuts:
LB Eugene Asante
S Devyn Bobby
TE Shawn Bowman
LB Elliott Brown
P Jack Browning
S Hudson Clark
CB Elijah Culp
OL Ka’ena De Cambra
TE Rivaldo Fairweather
DL Cam Horsley
RB Evan Hull
OL Demontrey Jacobs
OL Christian Jones
CB Elijah Jones
CB Kalen King
DL Brodric Martin-Rhodes
CB Sean…

- There are tiers within undrafted rookies -- out of these 45 that made initial 53-man rosters, 15 of them got $200,000+ in guaranteed money and 27 in all got $100k+, almost like an eighth round with more guaranteed money than a seventh. What's even more impressive are those who got little or no guaranteed money and still made 53s: Ravens QB Joe Fagnano: $0 Chiefs T Kahlil Benson: $0 Patriots LB Khalil Jacobs: $0 Dolphins FB D.J.
