PFF put together a list of the top 100 free agents for 2025. Three Cardinals players make the cut, although one you might expect to be there is not.

One year after making 12 selections in the NFL draft — more than any other team — the Arizona Cardinals have just five picks this year. They traded their sixth-rounder to Denver for Baron Browning at the deadline and previously sent their seventh-rounder to Carolina to acquire Robbie Anderson.

The Cardinals have Browning, Dennis Gardeck, Jesse Luketa, Victor Dimukeje and Julian Okwara, all outside linebackers, scheduled to be free agents. That leaves only Zaven Collins, 2023 second-round pick BJ Ojulari and 2024 rookie Xavier Thomas as the only edge rushers under contract.

The Cardinals acquired edge player Baron Browning ahead of the league's trade deadline this past season, and he finished the year with ten quarterback pressures and two sacks with Arizona.

The Cardinals need to make some serious upgrades during the 2025 NFL offseason. Arizona should explore trading for these 2 players.

The Cardinals signed Budda Baker to a contract extension last month but still have plenty of free agents on defense and special teams.
