4. How deep are the Cardinals at linebacker?
With the recent releases of Ernie Sims and Trevado Williams, it appears the Cardinals know what their doing and expect other players to fill these rolls. The starters right now are John Abraham, Kevin Minter, Larry Foote, and Matt Shaughnessy. There will also be Alex Okafor coming off the bench who was hurt all of last year but is an exciting prospect coming out of Texas University. Sam Acho will also be a key component coming off the bench who has contributed in the past with a career total of 93 tackles and 12 sacks since 2011. There are several other linebackers on the current roster and it would not suprise me if this position comes out of the preseason with a diamond in the rough.
