Cardinals

Pascal, who turned 30 in December, faded into obscurity over the last three seasons with the Eagles and Cardinals. He had back-to-back seasons with at least 600 yards receiving in 2019 and 2020 with the Colts, but has less than 600 yards receiving over the last four seasons combined. It’s unlikely the Giants are bringing Pascal in for a fantasy-relevant role in 2025. He’ll merely bolster New York’s wide receiver room as a veteran depth piece.

Pascal has played just 270 offensive snaps the last two years in Arizona after following Jonathan Gannon over from Philadelphia, and has only four receptions in a Cardinals uniform to show for it. Even if signed by the Giants, we’d be hardpressed to call him fantasy relevant at this point of his career.

Typically a special teamer, Fehoko set season highs across the board on offense last year with six catches for 106 yards. An elbow injury cost him the second half of the season. Fehoko is a depth option at receiver but brings more to the table through his special teams production. He will need to maintain a special teams role in Arizona to secure a roster spot.

The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent made 10 appearances for the Bears last season, including two starts. He also started four games for the Seahawks in 2023. He has fairly extensive experience at both tackle and guard, enhancing his odds of making the Cardinals’ 53-man roster.

Jones has started eight of the 48 career games he’s appeared in. He posted a career-high three sacks last season while also tallying 27 tackles. He’s one of two recently-signed tackles the Chargers will ask to serve in their defensive line rotation this upcoming season, along with D’Shawn Hand.

Tomlinson has plenty left in the tank entering his age-31 season. The former Brown totaled 36 quarterback pressures and four sacks last year, both of which tied career-highs. The Cardinals defensive tackle group totaled the 13th-most quarterback pressures (99) and were tied for the eighth-most NFL sacks (14.0) last year. Tomlinson’s addition should push those numbers even higher this year.

Collier is a former first-round pick of the Seahawks, spending four seasons in Seattle before joining the Cardinals in 2023. Playing 17 games last season, Collier started 15 of them and tallied 3.5 sacks - a single-season career-high for him. The 29-year-old now returns to Arizona as a rotational defensive end.

Walker has delivered up-and-down defensive performances since the Falcons drafted him in the 2020 NFL draft’s fourth round but found his groove last year as a special teamer and backup linebacker. Walker could handle a similar role for the Cardinals though at 27 years old, the team may attempt to coach him up as a run defender.

A 2021 sixth-round pick of the Texans, Lopez was cut by Houston on the eve of the 2023 season. He then managed to become a Cardinals mainstay as a rotational interior lineman. That is what he will remain in Detroit during his age-28 season.

It’s likely that the Cardinals didn’t have to lay out much cash here for Brissett, but we don’t have the terms yet. Brissett, who currently holds the all-time interception percentage record (in a good way) at 1.4 percent, was battered behind New England’s line in five starts last year before giving way to Drake Maye. However, his sterling 2022 season isn’t that far in the rearview mirror, and he’d be a competent-if-unexciting option if Kyler Murray had to miss games for any reason in 2025.
