With training camp on the horizon, it’s time to take stock of the Cardinals roster. To do so, I’m using a system based on pocket change: pennies, nickels, dimes, and up to quarters. Here’s a quick description of each category:
- Pennies: These are the guys at the bottom of the roster: camp invites, UDFAs, practice squad types, JAGs, special teamers. Replacement-level players, essentially. There are going to be a lot of pennies since the roster size is increased in the offseason.
- Nickels: These are average or below-average starters and solid backups/rotational players.
