We knew when the 2017 season ended and former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer decided he was going to retire, that we would get a whole new quarterback room. The Cardinals were also done with Drew Stanton and Blaine Gabbert.
It was just a matter of how the Cardinals would assemble their quarterback room. They almost certainly had to make a move in free agency. It was a matter of if they would make a move for the future at the position in the draft or just put a band aid on the issue.
