Can the Arizona Cardinals take another leap forward in 2025? After all, coach Jonathan Gannon led them to a 4-13 record in his first season before improving to an 8-9 record in 2024. What’s next?
The Cardinals believe they have a strong mix of veteran contributors and young players on rookie contracts. Yet, does this team have enough to reach the postseason for the first time since 2021?
They may still want to add more reinforcements to the receiving corps. If so, ESPN’s NFL analyst Matt Bowen believes the Cardinals are the best fit to sign six-time Pro Bowl receiver Keenan Allen.
The Cardinals have a lot of youth leading their receiving corps. Marvin Harrison Jr may be a phenom but he’s only headed into his second NFL season. Michael Wilson is just heading into his third. While Zay Jones and Greg Dortch are more experienced, they don’t compare to the level of play Allen has displayed at his peak.
While Allen’s best days are surely behind him, it’s possible he could be in for a bounce-back season on a team like the Cardinals who appear to have some space for another contributor.
