The Arizona Cardinals are keen on strengthening their linebacker corps with a potential acquisition of Ja'Whaun Bentley, a former New England Patriot. After signing Akeem Davis-Gaither and Mykal Walker, the Cardinals are considering Bentley who brings experience and leadership, having been a starter since 2020 before a season-ending injury last year. Bentley's history of posting over 100 tackles in three consecutive seasons suggests he can provide substantial defensive support if healthy.

General Manager Monti Ossenfort, who previously scouted Bentley for the Patriots, might see him as a fitting addition to mentor the younger linebackers. With Davis-Gaither set to start, Bentley’s presence could enhance the overall performance of the defense, making the Cardinals a formidable force on that side of the ball.
