The offseason of lists and rankings continues as we wait for training camps to begin. These rankings are from PFF, lining up the linebacker units for all 32 NFL teams.
We know that the Arizona Cardinals‘ group is not highly rated, but what about their 2025 opponents?

Let’s have a look at the opposing linebacker units they will face.
NFL LB unit rankings: 2025 Arizona Cardinals opponents
Week 10, Seattle Seahawks: No. 24
Week 11, San Francisco 49ers: No. 7
Week 18, Los Angeles Rams: No. 26
Analysis
The Cardinals’ unit is No. 29 overall, but that won’t impact their performance against their opponents’ linebackers. That’s something for the offense to pay attention to.
They will face only three top-10 units in four games (49ers, Saints, Jags). They face eight bottom-10 units in 10 games (they have two games each against the Rams and Seahawks).
Considering the Cardinals’ run game and how good tight end Trey McBride is, they should see a good amount of success against these opponents, should these rankings hold true to form.
