Arizona Cardinals

Carson Palmer is nearing the end of his career at 37 years old and Drew Stanton hasn’t shown much promise in the multitude of opportunities he’s been given. Like Houston, Arizona would present Kaaya with an opportunity to not have to be the franchise savior. It would also give him an opportunity to sit and learn from Palmer for a year or two.

Palmer played in all but one game this season and Stanton is a nine year veteran. He missed week four with a concussion. Stanton started in his place and went 11-28 for 124 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-21 win at San Francisco. On the season, Stanton was 19-48 for 192 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions.

The Cardinals finished the season 7-8-1, three games behind Seattle in the NFC West. They are just one season removed from winning the division and advancing the NFC Championship game where they lost to Carolina.

Arizona boasts one of the most promising young running backs in the NFL in David Johnson. He led the NFL in yards from scrimmage this season with 2,118. They also have young wide receivers John Brown and JJ Nelson, plus a strong defense.

Adding Kaaya to that offense would pose a bright future in Glendale.
