Speculation about edge rusher Josh Sweat's future with the Cardinals had increased due to his absence from the team's offseason program, but a report on Wednesday confirms the team is not planning to trade him. This aligns with comments from head coach Mike LaFleur last week when asked about trade offers.
Signed to a four-year, $76.4 million deal last year, Sweat missed voluntary portions of the offseason work. In his first season with Arizona, he recorded 30 tackles, 12 sacks, four forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. Based on recent reports from inside and outside the organization, Sweat will have the opportunity to build on those statistics with the Cardinals this fall. cat-cross.com
