There were reasons — Zach Ertz was still a Cardinal, Kyler Murray had to come back from a torn ACL — but there was a time when Trey McBride’s future was uncertain. Even he felt it.<\/p>\n

That feels like a decade ago, not less than two years. The second half of the 2023 season, McBride became Murray’s favorite target and a rising star. Last year, McBride proved elite, to the point he is in the conversation as the best tight end in the game.<\/p>\n

So yes, he was going to be on this year’s NFL Top 100 list, voted on by players. It would’ve been a travesty had he not. McBride was revealed as No. 65 on Wednesday morning — before the Cardinals have their first training camp practice of 2025 — as the second Cardinal listed.<\/p>\n

Edge rusher Josh Sweat was previously announced as No. 95<\/a>. Like Sweat, this is the first time McBride has appeared on the list.<\/p>\n

McBride had 111 catches and 1,146 yards last season (only two touchdowns, but I’m guessing that will be an anomaly), statistics that led to another number: $76 million, as in his new contract extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He’ll be on the list for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Now that the list is at 65, there is still hope (and a probability) that safety Budda Baker will show up for the Cardinals at some point. The list is being distributed on X (Twitter) twice a day until the full list is announced. Baker was the lone Cardinal on the list in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There were reasons — Zach Ertz was still a Cardinal, Kyler Murray had to come back from a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2078],"tags":[375,390,2604,1327,1054,2874,1051,7,1053,1052,6,6042],"class_list":{"0":"post-230077","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-cardinals","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-arizonacardinals","11":"tag-cardinals","12":"tag-darren-urban","13":"tag-darrens-blog-v2","14":"tag-featured-articles","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-home-page-news-headlines","17":"tag-mega-feed","18":"tag-nfl","19":"tag-trey-mcbride"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114903436964833753","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
