Arizona has received trade calls regarding Pro Bowl defensive end Josh Sweat. Josh Sweat recorded 12 sacks in his first season with Arizona and has 55 sacks and 114 quarterback hits across eight seasons. He also had a close relationship with Jonathan Gannon, who is no longer with the Cardinals. The report’s wording suggests there may be interest from other teams, but it does not confirm Arizona’s intent to trade him. If Arizona were actively shopping Sweat, it could matter more, especially given the team’s rebuilding priorities, including a new head coach and the need to draft a quarterback.
"Sources: The #Cardinals have received trade calls on Pro Bowl DE Josh Sweat.Sweat had 12 sacks last season in his first year with Arizona and had a close relationship with Jonathan Gannon, whom the Cardinals moved on from. pic.twitter.com/ateZ6r4bi4- Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) May 26, 2026"
"Let's start with Schultz's wording: "The Cardinals have received trade calls on Pro Bowl DE Josh Sweat." That could mean a bunch of things or nothing at all. A roofing company cold-calling me and offering me an estimate on a new roof doesn't mean I'm interested in a new roof. It simply means there's interest on their end. That could be the extent of all of this. Teams - none of which we know - are interested in Sweat."
"Now, if Schultz worded the tweet in a way that indicated the Cardinals were looking to trade Sweat, this would all be much more interesting. For argument's sake, let's pretend there's some interest in Arizona's front office in trading Sweat, because otherwise, this is a nothing-burger. Arizona isn't winning anytime soon. They have a new head coach in place, they still need to draft a quarterback, which is something they'll likely be"
