Arizona Cardinals introduce NFL draft picks Will Johnson, Cody Simon
The Arizona Cardinals picked Will Johnson and Cody Simon in the 2025 NFL Draft, and formally introduced the rookies to the media on May 8, 2025.
The 2025 NFL schedule will soon be released.
But we already know each team’s opponents for the 17 regular-season games, giving us an idea for how difficult each team’s schedule will be.
How does the Arizona Cardinals’ 2025 schedule compare with other teams in the NFC West and the NFL?
In terms of strength of schedule based on last year’s record? Very favorably.
Arizona’s opponents this season went 132-157 last season for a win percentage of .457, tied with the Carolina Panthers for the 27th hardest strength of schedule on the 2025 NFL schedule.
Only four teams have easier schedules for the upcoming season, according to that metric.
