Cardinals to keep Josh Sweat

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Cardinals will not trade edge rusher Josh Sweat despite recent speculation.

Speculation about Sweat's future had increased due to his absence from the team's offseason program. Head coach Mike LaFleur had previously addressed trade reports, and now Rapoport's confirmation puts the matter to rest. forumteam.blog

Swear, who signed a four-year, $76.4 million deal with Arizona last year, had 30 tackles, 12 sacks, four forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in his first season with the team. Based on recent word from inside and outside the organization, Sweat will get a chance to add to those totals in a Cardinals uniform this fall.
