The Arizona Cardinals have made multiple moves in free agency. They have most been middling moves to add depth to the roster, although a few could end up being starters.
How have these moves been taken by analysts?

In a bit of a surprise, PFF didn’t hate any of their moves.
PFF’s Zoltan Buday gave his favorite and least favorite move for all 32 NFL teams. While his favorite move was not a surprise, his commentary on the least favorite move is.
The three-year deal for guard Isaac Seumalo was the favorite, and it should be because it commits the most money and the most years out of any of the Cardinals’ free agent moves.
The Cardinals signed one of the most consistent guards in football to stabilize their offensive line. The former Pittsburgh Steeler ranked among the top 20 guards in PFF overall grade in three of his past four seasons. His 73.3 PFF overall grade in 2025 placed him 16th among 79 qualifying guards.
What was his least favorite move?
He didn’t have one!
The Cardinals were not big players during the first wave of free agency, and even the contracts they did dole out could be considered smaller with minimal risk.
And the truth is, considering the price tag and expected role for most of their new additions, what is there to complain about? Perhaps you could complain about adding quarterback Gardner Minshew, but even that addition isn’t awful.

I guess it isn’t a glowing endorsement, but at least there isn’t a ton of bad that can be said.
