Could the Cardinals use these 3 slept-on free agent defenders?

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to make moves on defense in free agency. They have needs basically at every level of the defense.

Touchdown Wire’s Jarrett Bailey highlighted three free agent defenders who are “being slept on,” or who are less appreciated than they should be.

Could the Cardinals use these defenders and would they be good targets for them?

Let’s have a look.

S Kamren Curl

Bills receiver Emmanuel Sanders holds on to this pass behind Washington’s Kamren Curl for a 5 yard touchdown.

The simple is no. The Cardinals don’t need an upgrade at either position. They already have a lot of money invested at safety.

Of course, if the Cardinals trade Budda Baker, things change.

EDGE D.J. Wonnum

Wonnum had eight sacks last season. He played outside linebacker last season. The Cardinals badly need some production off the edge.

LB Frankie Luvu

The Cardinals need another linebacker to pair with Kyzir White. Luvu would be a great addition. The question is the price tag he would like.
