Arizona Cardinals evaluate trade for Baker Mayfield amid QB questions

Summary

The Arizona Cardinals, led by new head coach Mike LaFleur, are contemplating a trade for quarterback Baker Mayfield. Current starter Jacoby Brissett had a difficult season, prompting discussions among fans about acquiring a proven QB. Insider Kyle Odegard cautions that trading two first-round picks for Mayfield may not be wise, citing the team's rebuilding phase. The Cardinals are projected to struggle in the NFC West, with a focus on long-term growth over short-term gains. Without a trade for an established quarterback, Arizona may aim for a top-five pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
