ARIZONA — The next stage of the offseason is nearly here, which means we’re one step closer to seeing the Arizona Cardinals take the field.

While mini-camps and OTA’s will hold us down for now, we’re just a few months removed from seeing the Cardinals take the field at training camp.

Like any other offseason, the Cardinals added some fresh faces in free agency and the NFL Draft, which of course means a set of new jersey numbers.

Here’s the new jersey numbers from Arizona’s offical site, we’ll go through the rookie class (whose numbers aren’t official yet) and any numbers impacted by changes:

4 – Greg Dortch: Dortch takes over the No. 4 from Rondale Moore, who was traded in the offseason. Dortch moved on from No. 83.

9 – BJ Ojulari: Ojulari officially gave up his coveted No. 18 from LSU to rookie receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. – the No. 9 was previously taken by newcomer Desmond Ridder (acquired in the Moore trade) before the shuffle happened.

16 – Max Melton: Melton has worn this number all through his football career – from high school to college – and carries it now to the professional level, with his mother’s birthday being the 16th.

18 – Marvin Harrison Jr.: All eyes were on what number the fourth overall pick would rock, and he somehow got No. 18 from Ojulari – we’re sure it was a sweet deal to get it done. Harrison wore this number in college.

19 – Desmond Ridder: Ridder initially took over the No. 9 from Josh Dobbs last season but didn’t get any time with the number officially before switching to 19 in the three-person switch between him, Ojulari and Harrison. He’ll look to battle Clayton Tune for backup duties behind Kyler Murray.

28 – Elijah Jones: Jones takes a clean cornerback number with 28 and hopes to continue success he had out of Boston College.

30 – Xavier Weaver: Weaver was one of three UDFA’s brought on by Arizona after the 2024 NFL Draft included. He’ll look to make the team as a wide receiver who can potentially contribute on special teams.

33 – Trey Benson: The heir apparent to James Conner, B3nson (see what we did there) will rock the clean double-number look out of Arizona’s backfield as RB2.

39 – Jaden Davis: Davis was the team’s last pick of the draft and will fight for a spot on what’s a competitive corner room with three players added to the position through the draft alone.

41- Markus Bailey: Bailey was just signed a few days ago to add depth to the OLB room. He’s a core special teams player and will likely make the roster doing just that.

42 – Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: The rangy safety out of Texas Tech looks to play as a third piece behind Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson.

47 – Joe Shimko: Shimko was another UDFA signed by the Cardinals that will look to make the long-snapper competition interesting over the summer.

54 – Xavier Thomas: Thomas was the lone true edge rusher drafted this year in Arizona.

56 – Darius Robinson: Robinson is rocking a combination of his high school and college number (5 and 6) to pair his new number at the pro level.

57 – Myles Murphy: The last UDFA of the roster and a pass rusher out of North Carolina. It’s a crowded room, but we’ll see what Murphy can do.

74 – Isaiah Adams: The third-round pick has some high expectations in the desert, and even more so after taking D.J. Humphries’ number.

75 – Christian Jones: Arizona’s other offensive lineman drafted, Jones will rock the 75 – which probably wasn’t his number when he played high school soccer before switching to football.

83 – Tejhaun Palmer: Palmer takes over Dortch’s old number and will have to claw his way to a roster spot similar to Dortch as well.

87 – Tip Reiman: Reiman is a man of faith and destiny – and perhaps that was the case when he took over another strong run-blocker’s number in Geoff Swaim as well.

Immigrant workers are more reluctant to speak out about injustice in the workplace, report injuries, or cooperate in investigations out of fear of revealing their immigration status to authorities.

Now, a new bill would allow the state to levy hefty fines against employers threatening to use their workers’ immigration status against them during labor disputes. An example would be if a boss threatens to tell authorities that a worker came to the country illegally to pressure that worker into not reporting the employer for paying less than minimum wage.

“No worker should be forced to turn a blind eye to their employer’s unlawful behavior out of fear of being prosecuted for their immigration status,” bill sponsor Sen. Teresa Ruiz (D-Essex) said in a statement.

Businesses found to have exploited their workers based on their immigration status would face fines of up to $1,000 for the first violation, up to $5,000 for the second, and up to $10,000 for any subsequent violations.

The fines would be in addition to any fines related to violations of state labor laws.

But the bill is not enough for immigrant advocates who want to see more enforcement of existing laws and more serious consequences. Erik Cruz Morales of the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice said the bill is only a small first step toward tackling a bigger issue.

Morales said New Jersey should consider revoking business licenses from companies with multiple labor law violations. Even a $10,000 fine could be a slap on the wrist for companies bringing in millions of dollars, he noted.

Lawmakers should also look into beefing up the Law Against Discrimination to cover discrimination against immigration status, Morales said.

Morales said many immigrant workers fear filing complaints against their employers for breaking existing law — say, paying less than the state’s $15.13 minimum wage — let alone reporting them for violating a new law related to their immigration status.

“People are avoiding interacting with public government or filing a case, from what we’ve heard from people. They’re like, ‘I’m undocumented, what rights do I have in this country? I’m just going to stay quiet and get my $12 an hour, even though it’s $15,’” he said.

New Jersey is home to more than 2 million residents born out of the country and an estimated 440,000 undocumented immigrants, according to the Migration Policy Institute. 

While undocumented workers are protected by federal labor laws to prevent discrimination and are entitled to worker rights like breaks, minimum wage, and overtime, their immigration status often discourages them from fighting unfair work treatment, according to researchers at the University of Chicago. They found that undocumented workers are more likely to face discrimination and exploitation in the workplace.

Ruiz said the bill would protect workers’ rights and “hold businesses accountable for exploitative behavior.” The bill would help employees no matter what their immigration status is, she said.

It unanimously advanced out of the Senate Labor Committee Monday with no discussion. The companion bill still faces a vote in the Assembly Labor Committee.
