The first week of NFL free agency is basically in the books. The Arizona Cardinals have been active, although they have not made any real significant moves like last offseason. It is time to start grading their initial moves.
We don’t know how they will actually work out, as the season is still months away, but based on need, fit and value, we can give initial grades.
Let’s look at offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo.

Seumalo is a fantastic guard. He is a clear upgrade over what they had the last couple of seasons. He was a Pro Bowler in 2024.
He doesn’t cost too much.
However, he will be 33 years old this season. Signing a player of that caliber and age is something that a team trying to get over the top or protecting a promising young quarterback would make. If the Cardinals draft a quarterback in 2027, he might get one solid year out of Seumalo protecting him.
