Arizona Cardinals insider, John Gambadoro, denies a major WR splash in a deal.
Arizona Cardinals unlikely to pursue Justin Jefferson or Tee Higgins in trade market, according to Arizona Sports insider John Gambadoro. The team is unlikely to trade for Tee Higgins or Justin Jefferson due to high draft picks and top salaries. They will build their team through the draft.
The Cardinals are in massive need of a legitimate WR1 after the departure of Marquise Brown in free agency, though Arizona were heavy favorites to add to their room regardless of Hollywood came back to the desert.
As of now, top names on the depth chart include Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch – two solid names for sure, though the Cardinals are all but set to take a top wideout at some point in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Arizona also lost WR Rondale Moore in their trade with the Atlanta Falcons, which brought QB Desmond Ridder to Arizona.
Jefferson and Higgins would cost the Cardinals in terms of both draft capital and cap space, something Arizona isn’t exactly in position to do as year two of their rebuild approaches.
