The Arizona Cardinals could have something up their sleeve.
ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals made a surprising late-night trade with the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the NFL's league-wide cut down day, sending OLB Cameron Thomas to the defending Super Bowl champions in exchange for a seventh-round selection per reports.
Thomas was coming off a fairly strong preseason where he tallied three sacks in the final two weeks. The Cardinals - who lost OLB BJ Ojulari for the season with a knee injury - already saw their depth impacted, and while Thomas wasn't set to start, the 24-year-old showed signs of improvement entering his third season.
With the low price tag, it's clear the Cardinals didn't value Thomas extremely high, and it's possible he may have not made the final 53 man roster .Arizona has plenty of cap space available to pair with draft ammo.
Perhaps the talents of Haason Reddick could return - the Cardinals would have to pay some big bucks to their former first-round pick, though he'd easily walk into Arizona as the top pass rusher and has previous experience with Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon, who was his defensive coordinator during their time together in Philadelphia.
Perhaps free agent Yannick Ngakoue is in the mix, though the player who was once one of the best in the business played just 13 games last year and would likely arrive on a one-year prove-it deal out of free agency.Donnie Druin is the Publisher for All Cardinals and Inside The Suns.
