The Arizona Cardinals have made several moves this offseason on the offensive line. They cut Evan Brown, their starting left guard for the last two seasons, and replaced him with Isaac Seumalo, which should be an upgrade.
Then they have addressed the depth with Elijah Wilkinson, Matt Pryor and Oli Udoh.

However, questions remain at right tackle. Wilkinson potentially could start, as he started all 17 games for the Atlanta Falcons at right tackle in 2025. Josh Fryar, Christian Jones and Demontrey Jacobs all return and could be in the mix.
However, there are two veteran tackles who are still options, and at this point, it might not cost too much.
Jawaan Taylor
He is only 28 years old and is solid if he can rein in the penalties. He had a $20 million per year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs before getting cut this offseason. The longer he goes without signing, the less it will cost the Cardinals.
Do they have a lot of potential options? Yes.

Are any proven? No.
Taylor is.
Taylor Decker
The Detroit Lions released him. He is 33 years old, but they also signed Seumalo, who will be 33 this season. Now, he has played left tackle his whole career and has missed multiple games in three straight years, but once upon a time Kelvin Beachum signed with the Cardinals in his 30s having played only left tackle and made the transition.
