Arizona Cardinals

Taking chances on veteran quarterbacks has done great things for the Cardinals in the past. Kurt Warner led them to the Super Bowl in 2008 at age 37. Carson Palmer got them to the NFC championship last year. Bruce Arians has shown a preference for experienced quarterbacks, so it’s not a hard sell to think Arizona might be interested in Romo. Especially given the recent downturn of effectiveness Palmer has experienced the past couple months.

He’s got just 11 touchdowns to eight interceptions. The edge he played with that made the Cardinals offense go has been absent. Is it the age creeping up on him or something else? One way or another the team may be faced with a decision soon. It may seem like going to Romo isn’t much of a change but he’s younger and has shown to be quite deadly when he has a good running game. David Johnson would certainly provided that.
