The first week of NFL free agency is basically in the books. The Arizona Cardinals<\/a> have been active, although they have not made any real significant moves like last offseason. It is time to start grading their initial moves.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Let’s look at offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo.<\/p>\n Grading the Cardinals’ signing of Isaac Seumalo<\/p>\n Grade: B<\/p>\n Need a news break? Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n He doesn’t cost too much.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Get more Cardinals<\/a> and NFL coverage from Cards<\/a> Wire’s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
