The first few major dominoes have fallen in free agency with the biggest being Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins reportedly deciding to sign a three-year, fully-guaranteed deal with the Minnesota Vikings. This had immediately pushed the other remaining quarterback-needy teams around the league to find other suitable options on the open market.

Among those teams is the Arizona Cardinals, who were one of the few franchises that were reportedly pursuing Cousins before he chose to join the Vikings. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Cardinals have moved fast to ink a possible short-term solution to their quarterback situation by agreeing to a one-year, $20 million deal with Sam Bradford.

The addition of Bradford should likely provide much stability at the quarterback position for the 2018 season.

Bradford will a few All-Pro talents around him in Arizona with wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and David Johnson that could lend well to helping the team bounce back next season. Fitzgerald is coming back for his 15th year but is still playing at an elite level after putting together his third straight campaign with at least 100 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards. Meanwhile, Johnson is expected to ready at some point over the offseason and should put him in line to prove he is still one of the league's best all-around running backs.
