Opponent offseason update: Arizona Cardinals

Key additions in free agency: Signed OLB Josh Sweat, DE Calais Campbell, LB Akeem Davis-Gaither, DT Dalvin Tomlinson, QB Jacoby Brissett, WR Zay Jones.

Key additions in the draft: DT Walter Nolen, CB Will Johnson, DT Jordan Burch, LB Cody Simon.

Changes from last year: One of the biggest moves was keeping one of their own, extending tight end Trey McBride. Since he caught 111 passes last year, that four-year, $76 million deal (which made him the highest-paid tight end in the league) was justified. He's become Kyler Murray's favorite target for good reason.

General manager Monti Ossenfort also spent some money in free agency, bringing in the Eagles pass-rusher Josh Sweat and reuniting him with head coach Jonathan Gannon (his old defensive coordinator in Philadelphia). The 28-year-old Sweat had 8.0 sacks for the champion Eagles last year.
