AZ Cardinals recap and news

  • Cardinals’ Trey McBride: No. 1 TE on depth chart

    McBride is listed as the Cardinals‘ No. 1 TE on the team’s unofficial depth chart.

    McBride emerged as a target hog in 2024, racking up 147 in 16 regular-season games en route to 111 catches and 1,146 yards but just two touchdowns. The end-zone woes finally came to a close last season, though, as he finished with a monster 126-1,239-11 line on 169 targets in 17 regular-season contests. The catch count set an NFL record for most by a tight end in a campaign, surpassing Zach Ertz’s 116 from his 2018 season with the Eagles. McBride remains the top pass catcher for QB Jacoby Brissett and Arizona’s offense, but he does have competition for looks from WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson.

  • Cardinals’ Marvin Harrison: Listed on first-team offense

    Harrison is listed as a starter on the Cardinals‘ unofficial depth chart.

    This comes as no surprise considering Harrison’s standing as the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft and his average of 6.5 targets per game through two seasons in the NFL. However, he has yet to take off, even with QB Jacoby Brissett under center for most of the 2025 campaign, as heel and foot injuries contained him to only three appearances in the final eight contests. Harrison has had a clean bill of health since late July, and with a full training camp working with Brissett and fellow WR Michael Wilson, the trio is set to hit the ground running Week 1 under new coach Mike LaFleur.

  • Cardinals’ Michael Wilson: Potential extension looming?

    The Cardinals have made attempts to figure out a contract extension with Wilson ahead of the 2026 campaign, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

    A 2023 third-round pick of Arizona, Wilson wasn’t able to tap into his full potential until his third season in 2025, but once QB Jacoby Brissett took over the offense Week 6, the wide receiver was off and running thereafter, posting a 70-954-6 line on 108 targets over the final 12 contests. The run included three 100-yard receiving games and at least one touchdown grab in each of the final five weeks for Wilson. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, his situation is pending, and whether or not it gets decided before Week 1 or next offseason remains to be seen.
