Cardinals Trusting Continuity, Process as 2024 Approaches

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon was one of many participants in the Phoenix Open's Pro-Am earlier this week, though he did find some time to speak with local reporters as 2024 offseason crawls closer. 

“We’re just going to do like we’ve always done, take a good hard look at acquisitions, what we’re doing schematically, what we’re doing in everything,” Gannon said (h/t Arizona Sports' Tyler Drake).

“There’s going to be obviously some carry over but we start the process over, attack free agency, attack the draft, pour into our players and all the resources that they have at their disposal, really improve ourselves individually, collectively, so that the players improve.”

The Cardinals have already made a handful of moves, including re-signing Jesse Luketa and Carter O'Donnell before they hit free agency while also signing nearly 15 players to futures contracts. 

Gannon had expressed at his end-of-season press conference his worries of potentially losing a few staff members - though the Cardinals have been one of the few teams in the league to not undergo any shake of the coaching staff at this point in the offseason. 

“I think I’ve grown this last year being in the seat that I’m in and I’m really excited and glad that we got everybody back,” Gannon said. “Continuity of staff was important to me and some guys had some opportunities but decided to stay, so it’s good and I’m looking forward to it.”

There's still some major decisions to be made over the next few months, though Arizona appears to be locked in on their process now more than ever.
