Madden 23 - Arizona Cardinals Roster And Cardinals
In this Madden 23 guide, we're breaking down the Cardinals' roster, including their best and worst players.
Madden 23 is here, and that means virtual football fans once more have a full season's worth of debates to have, first downs to pick up, and hopefully, more than a few touchdown dances to choreograph. We're breaking down the Madden 23 rosters for all 32 teams, and in this guide, we'll be taking a look at the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals locked up their franchise QB in Kyler Murray and retained most of their offense from last season. Having Murray at QB and a wide receiver like DeAndre Hopkins at wide receiver should make Arizona an enjoyable offense to run at the very least. If you're curious who the Cardinals' best players are, where they stack up in the league as a whole, or which roster spots may need to be improved in Franchise mode, here's everything you need to know about the Madden 23 Cardinals roster.
