After acquiring Marquise Brown the other day, the Cardinals are now looking to chop some fat from their WR depth chart. Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo (on Twitter), the Cardinals are open to trading receiver Andy Isabella.
According to Garafolo, the organization has shopped Isabella “to a few teams” in the past few weeks, and the reporter implies that a deal could finally be completed during the final day of the draft.
After selecting Kyler Murray with the first-overall pick in the 2019 draft, the Cardinals later used pick No. 62 to select Isabella, and the organization was hoping the duo would be their long-term answer on offense. However, the receiver hasn’t been able to carve out a role in Arizona. He barely played on offense during his rookie season, and he only took a minor step forward in 2020, finishing with 21 receptions for 224 yards and two touchdowns.
Isabella was buried on the depth chart in 2021. He only saw time in eight games, collecting a single reception. We heard earlier this offseason that the wideout was on the trade block, and the recent acquisition of Brown likely spelled the end of Isabella’s tenure in Arizona. Merely cutting the player would save the Cardinals $1.1MM.
No one outside of Arizona has ever heard of this guy.
Speak for yourself. I remember the speed demon Arizona took with the pick they got for Rosen.
Played at UMass, most in New England know who he is
They drafted him when they fleeced Miami on the J Rosen trade.
Perfect for the Patriots
Typical GM Keim move. How many picks has he wasted currently. Gus has 1 good trade ever D Hop. Not sure how the man keeps his job. Hard to be a fan when the goal is to be mediocre.
I thought getting Carson Palmer for a 6th round pick was pretty solid.
Who?
They never gave him a chance!
