(Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Arizona Cardinals schedule for 2026 is out and even though we know the teams before hand, it is more brutal than expected. A week 14 bye week for a team that has the best odds of the first pick in the 2027 NFL Draft is actually insane. However, the way the schedule plays out, it would be easy to move Carson Beck in as a starter, barring injuries to Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew, for the final four games of the 2026 season. While four games may not be enough to truly evaluate Beck, where on the schedule could the Cardinals conceivably drop him in and it not be in the “tough part of the schedule”? The late bye is what I was concerned about. This is a season where the Cardinals more than ever needed a week 9-11 bye week, so they could get Beck enough starts to make a proper evaluation. However, if you do it after the bye week, that is easily the softest part of the schedule (on paper). Let’s buckle up for what could be a bumpy 2026 ride.
