The Arizona Cardinals could add some excitement to the draft. General manager Monti Ossenfort confirmed that the franchise is considering a trade of the third pick

The Arizona Cardinals own the third pick in this year’s draft. Whether the franchise will actually use that pick to select a college player is unclear at this time.

A year after Kyler Murray’s contract was extended, Arizona has no plans to bring in a new quarterback. That’s why Cardinals officials are said to be considering a trade.

Monti Ossenfort, general manager in Arizona, confirmed this last to “SI.com”: “It takes two teams to make a trade, that’s the first thing. I think that’s something we’ll deal with next week when the phone rings and someone shows interest. Then we’ll have to weigh it. “

Ossenfort statements hint at trade

The 45-year-old added: “I think those talks will really start next week, but we’ll have to wait and see what the possibilities are or aren’t. There have already been talks during the Combine, but they were still quite preliminary. It will get more serious as we get closer to next Thursday night. “

A trade could net the Cardinals a lot of draft picks. That would fit with recent comments from Ossenfort, who said they want to “get as many good players and good guys on the team as possible.”

Four quarterbacks, Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Will Levis and Anthony Richardson, are being highly traded. At least two of them would still be up for grabs if the Cardinals are on the clock. At the latest, interested teams will pick up the phone to make their offers.
