Cardinals Lean Toward Keeping Jonathan Gannon for Year Four

Overview

• Multiple reports say Arizona is likely to retain Gannon for a fourth season, though the team has not announced a final decision.
• Owner Michael Bidwill’s potential unwillingness to pay multiple coaching buyouts is cited as a significant consideration.
• Reporting indicates a quarterback change is expected, giving Gannon and GM Monti Ossenfort a chance to choose a successor to Kyler Murray.
• Arizona sits at 3-13 this season and 15-35 under Gannon, with injuries forcing the NFL’s highest total of starters’ games missed.
• The defense has slipped to bottom-tier rankings, and staff changes, including possible coordinator moves, are expected if Gannon returns.
