As the Arizona Cardinals prepare for the upcoming season, their defensive needs are glaring, particularly in the trenches. A significant gap exists in their edge pressure and interior presence, making them prime candidates to target versatile linebacker Harold Landry III. Recently released by the Tennessee Titans, Landry brings both run defense prowess and the ability to apply pressure on quarterbacks, demonstrated by his impressive statistics in previous seasons.

In 2021, Landry achieved Pro Bowl status, and despite a torn ACL that sidelined him the previous year, he rebounded with solid performances in 2023 and 2024, racking up 141 tackles and 19.5 sacks. His capabilities would be invaluable for the Cardinals, especially with the potential departures of key players like Kyzir White. While he may not be a long-term fix given his age, a short-term deal could significantly elevate Arizona's defensive capabilities.
