Cardinals Rank Near Top of NFL in Cap Space
ARIZONA — The Arizona Cardinals received nearly $16 million more in salary over the weekend after former left tackle D.J. Humphries’ salary officially came off Arizona’s books.
Humphries – who tore his ACL towards the end of 2023 – was released with a Post June 1 designation, meaning he effectively became a free agent back in March while his cap hit remained with the Cardinals until just now.
For a deeper dive into the financial aspects, you can read here.
$15.95 million was officially added to the Cardinals’ 2024 salary cap space, pushing them near the top of the league.
*all figures via Over The Cap*
1. New England Patriots ($46.4 million)
The Patriots’ top earner is Matt Judon at $14.6 million in 2024 – in terms of cap number. New England has just five players making more than $8 million this season.
2. Washington Commanders ($43.4 million)
Washington’s salary is fairly top heavy this season, as three players have cap numbers of $21 million or higher in Terry McLaurin ($24.1 million), Daron Payne ($21.6 million) and Jonathan Allen ($21.4 million).
Their next highest cap hit is Andrew Wylie at $9.4 million.
3. Detroit Lions ($40.3 million)
Though recently extended, Jared Goff’s $27.2 million cap hit is tops in Detroit with Taylor Decker ($19.1 million) and Frank Ragnow ($12.8 million) right behind.
4. Arizona Cardinals ($35.5 million)
Kyler Murray’s massive $49.1 million cap hit ranks near the top of the league and comfortably takes the No. 1 spot for the Cardinals. Next is Budda Baker at $19 million and Jalen Thompson at $12.4 million.
They’re the only three players that have a cap hit of $10+ million for 2024 now that Humphries’ contract is off their books.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars ($34.1 million)
The Jaguars’ top earner for 2024 is former Cardinals wideout Christian Kirk, who has a cap hit of $24.2 million. Cam Robinson’s $21.9 million closely follows while five others are set to make north of $10 million.
Part of Arizona’s pristine cap space is the investment in youth for the Cardinals under second-year general manager Monti Ossenfort and his two recent draft classes.
The fortitude to move on from big (and expensive) names has also benefited Arizona during their rebuild.

Person accused of making terroristic threats to medical facility in northern Arizona
PAGE, AZ (AZFamily) — A person accused of making terroristic threats toward a northern Arizona medical facility was arrested Friday morning.
Just after 10:30 p.m., police received a report of a person calling the facility and threatening to kill staff and Native Americans, according to the Page Police Department.
Authorities said staff placed the facility on lockdown until officers identified the suspect and arrested them outside their home.
The suspect was booked on charges of disorderly conduct, threatening and intimidating, and making terroristic threats. Police have not publicly identified the person.
“The Page Police Department is grateful for and supports the medical staff’s decision to put the medical facility into lockdown until the suspect was arrested and the situation was rendered safe,” the department said in a Facebook post.

NFL mock draft: 4-round projections for Arizona Cardinals
In these four-round projections, the Arizona Cardinals don’t get a tackle until the fourth round.
We are just days away from the 2026 NFL draft, and that means some final mock drafts. What direction will the draft take the Arizona Cardinals?
Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy put together a four-round mock draft for the Cardinals. They go defense early but rebuild the offense for 2026 and moving forward, including landing their potential franchise quarterback.
Cardinals 4-round mock draft
Here are the players in the first four rounds Popejoy projects for Arizona.
- Round 1: Ohio State EDGE/LB Arvell Reese
- Round 2: Alabama QB Ty Simpson
- Round 3: Clemson WR Antonio Williams
- Round 4: Florida OT Austin Barber
What we think of the picks
The Cardinals want to trade out of the third pick and draft a tackle, so not getting a tackle until Round 4 seems unlikely, although they did meet with Barber. They do have options at right tackle for 2026 already on the roster.
Reese would be a great pick if they don’t trade back, as they badly need pass-rushing help off the edge.
Drafting Simpson seems inevitable at this point, so it has to be in a mock draft, although the feeling is they will need to go up into Round 1 again to get him.
Williams has speed and is almost six feet tall, but he does have short arms.

Detroit Lions NFL Draft Injury Report: Arizona State CB Keith Abney
Due to significant injuries to the CB position last year which includes a shoulder surgery for Terrion Arnold, the Lions CB position scored a 6/10 need on my Lions Defensive Draft Need Rankings. Thus, an early-round selection of a young, healthy prospect like Keith Abney would not come as a surprise. He enters the draft with very low medical concern level.
Here is the excerpt from my medical report on Keith Abney:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Keith Abney, CB (21) – Arizona State
Projected round 2-3. #43 on Jeff Risdon board Feb 19.
Concern level 0/10
There is an isolated report of a hand injury but no corroborating information. Even if the hand injury is true, that’s of minimal to no long-term concern.
His availability in his final two seasons has been perfect. Overall, Abney appears to be medically clean and is at an excellent age.
He finished college with 6 INT and 21 PBU.
