Arizona’s offensive line last season was a mess. Outside of left tackle Paris Johnson Jr., and center Hjalte Froholdt, this group needed an overhaul. The Cardinals’ inability to run the football made them one-dimensional. They also gave up 59 sacks.
The signing of Isaac Seumalo (3 years, $31.5 million) should help.
No. 18 on The Athletic’s list of free agents, Seumalo is a 10-year vet who can play right or left guard. He spent the last three years in Pittsburgh, where he was a leader up front. He also spent seven seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Perhaps most important for the Cardinals, Seumalo knows what it takes to win. With the Eagles, he played in two Super Bowls, winning one. Overall, eight of the 10 teams he’s played on finished with winning records.
Only concerns – age and health. Seumalo turns 33 in October. In addition, he’s missed seven contests the past two seasons with injuries.
