As we are in the dead of the offseason and there is almost nothing happening in the NFL until late July, now we get lists and rankings. ESPN put together an All Quarter Century Team for the NFL, constructing a 53-man roster with the best players of the last 25 years.
The roster is sprinkled with a few of Arizona Cardinals players, some who played for Arizona at the end of their careers and others who were longtime Cardinals, as well as players who spent time with all of the teams in the NFC West.

Who made the list?
NFL All Quarter Century Team: Players from the NFC WestArizona Cardinals
Faneca barely counts as a Cardinal as he is famous for his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he played his final NFL season in Arizona as a starter.
Campbell is an awesome addition because at no point in his career has he been considered a top-five defensive lineman. But his consistent production over nearly two decades earns him a spot.
Peterson was dominant for his first eight seasons in Arizona.
Watt was one of the best defenders we have seen. He spent the last two seasons of his career in Arizona and had 12.5 sacks in his last season in 2022.
LA Rams

Donald is an obvious choice. Wagner also has been one of the best linebackers this generation, but he only played one season with the Rams.
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers have a ton of players on this list, although Moss only spent a season with them. Sherman’s best came with Seattle.
Seattle Seahawks
All three players were generational.
