The Arizona Cardinals Players in the Most Danger of Being Cut

Summary

The Arizona Cardinals football team is preparing for the NFL preseason, which starts with the Hall of Fame Game on August 6. Several players, including James Conner, Jacoby Brissett, and Sean Murphy-Bunting, face a risk of being cut from the team as the roster is trimmed before the regular season begins.

Key Facts

  • The Cardinals and Panthers will open the 2026 preseason with the Hall of Fame Game on August 6.
  • The NFL regular season starts on September 9 with a game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
  • Running back James Conner may be cut due to being the oldest player in a crowded group and limited playing opportunities.
  • Quarterback Jacoby Brissett held out for a new contract but has little chance to stay as the team plans to develop younger QBs.
  • The team could start with Gardner Minshew and a rookie QB, Carson Beck, while releasing Brissett and saving $5.9 million.
  • The Cardinals have 11 cornerbacks but usually keep only 5 or 6, making competition very tight.
  • Sean Murphy-Bunting, despite a high salary cap hit, may be cut due to performance and roster limits.
  • Several younger players are likely to keep their spots based on last season’s play.
