The Arizona Cardinals’ offseason focused on improving the defense, and they inked one of the most impactful players of the offseason by signing coveted EDGE Josh Sweat.
ESPN’s Matt Bowen ranked it as the 6th-most impactful addition, NFL-wide.
Bowen ranked the top 50 player acquisitions based on their expected impact for the 2025 season.
He likes how Sweat will be reunited with someone from his Philadelphia past.
The Cardinals were in need of more off the edge, and they found help from someone who played under Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon in Philadelphia. Sweat is a long, angular mover who can win with speed-to-power. He also has built-in counter moves to disengage from offensive tackles.
Sweat had eight sacks and 33 pressures during the 2024 regular season. He added 2.5 more sacks in the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX win.
