The Arizona Cardinals added seven new draft picks last month. With these additions, some players already on the roster could have new roles.
Two players in particular, who were slated to be starters, now likely find themselves in a backup role.
RB Tyler Allgeier
Allgeier finds himself in a similar situation to when he was in Atlanta. He played second fiddle to Bijan Robinson, one of the best running backs in the NFL. He signed a two-year, $12.25 million deal to join the Cardinals, expecting to start or at least have a prominent role in the offense.
But the Cardinals selected Jeremiyah Love third overall, so Allgeier finds him behind a young, dynamic back again.
OL Isaiah Adams
Adams began last season and ended last season as the starting right guard. He was slated to be the starting right guard again, but the Cardinals used their second-round pick to select guard Chase Bisontis. With the addition of Isaac Seumalo in free agency, both guard spots seem set, sending Adams to the bench.
