Josh Sweat expresses unhappiness as offseason workouts progress for Cardinals
Summary

Outside linebacker Josh Sweat is absent from the Arizona Cardinals' voluntary offseason program, indicating his dissatisfaction with the team. Sweat, who led the Cardinals with 12 sacks in 2025 and signed a four-year, $76.4 million deal, has reportedly been linked to potential trades. His discontent may stem from the firing of head coach Jonathan Gannon and the team's struggles, having only three wins in the previous season. New head coach Mike LaFleur faces challenges managing Sweat's feelings while trying to maintain team morale and performance. This situation adds to the pressure on the Cardinals amid other ongoing contract disputes, including quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
