The Arizona Cardinals free agency rush has slowed after 10 days of big moves. Most key

signings are in the books, shifting focus to training camp battles at four spots, running

back inside linebacker, right guard, and safety. These competitions will decide starters and

rotations as the team builds depth. At running back, James Conner and newcomer Tyler

Algyre looks set for a near even split on carries. That puts pressure on second year

player Tray Benson, who's dealt with injuries and inexperienced so far to fight his way

into the mix. Meanwhile, inside linebacker features a duel between Cody Simon, who got

a late season trial by fire last year and free agent Jack Gibbons from New England. They'll

compete next to Mack Wilson, giving the cardinal solid options and base and nickel defenses.

Before on the line, right guard is anyone's game with Isaiah Adams facing veterans Matt

Pryor and Elijah Wilkinson, who could also slide to tackle. Fans and analysts see these

fights as a boost for roster quality. Benson needs a breakout to secure his future, while

vets like Gibbons and Wingar brings stability after cuts and departures, like Jalen Thompson

at, safety. The real intrigue is at safety, where Andrew Wingar challenges exciting rookie

Dadrian Taylor Demerson, opposite star Abu Dhabaker. Wingar's leadership and tackling

could push the younger athlete, especially in sub packages, setting up a dynamic group

for the season ahead. This episode is proudly sponsored by our partner. Head in, sound
