At this point, there’s not really much that the Arizona Cardinals need. They have one of the most complete teams in the NFL and a top-tier head coach in Bruce Arians. Looking forward, they could do themselves a favor and find Carson Palmer’s eventual successor.

With the top two quarterbacks gone, the Cardinals could still scoop up Miami’s Brad Kaaya. He’s far from a finished product with inconsistent ball placement and can struggle with pressure in his face. However, Kaaya has a really smooth, quick release with a tight spiral and a strong arm.

Arians loves his vertical offense, and with a year or two to learn under Palmer, Kaaya could do a great job taking over under center in a couple of seasons.
