Arizona Cardinals: The impact of the offseason departures

The Arizona Cardinals squad that will be taking the field come September will have a much different look to it. Sure, many of the core members remain. A decent amount of familiar faces have left, however, and it will be interesting to see how much the Cardinals are affected by the departures.

The retirement of Carson Palmer wasn’t a huge surprise, but it wasn’t exactly welcome news either. The quarterback had stabilized a position that was in dire straits ever since Kurt Warner hung up the cleats in 2010. Sam Bradford has arrived to replace Palmer, but there are durability concerns surrounding the 30-year old passer.
