Overview
- The Cardinals moved Josh Sweat off the Physically Unable to Perform list this week and coach Mike LaFleur said his recovery is “right on schedule,” but Sweat has been limited to individual work and did not take part in team drills.
- General manager Monti Ossenfort has publicly said the team is not trading Sweat, and reporters including Adam Schefter say teams that called were told the same response, though that stance could change.
- Multiple reports point to concrete Green Bay signals of interest, including early arrivals by team executives, Sweat’s agent meeting with Packers personnel, and the Jonathan Gannon coaching connection.
- Sources say Arizona has softened its initial trade ask to a player-plus-pick package and plans to let the market develop through final 53-man cuts, which is the likeliest window for any deal.
- If Sweat is kept for Week 1 his availability will be decided by how he progresses in team work, while a post-cutdown trade would affect Arizona’s pass rush and could reshape Green Bay’s defensive plans under Gannon.
