Arizona Cardinals 2024-2025 Season Outlook: Schedule & Ticket Deals

2023 was a year of firsts for coach Jonathan Gannon and GM Monti Ossenfort as they completed their inaugural seasons as part of the Arizona Cardinals organization. The tandem oversaw a 4-13 campaign that considered them a bottom-three NFL team based on record.

This was the Redbirds’ second straight losing season after 2021’s wildcard season, going 4-13 in 2022.

Kyler Murray was injured with a torn ACL in December 2022, so Joshua Dobbs started until week nine, as he got traded to the Vikings concluding week eight’s game since Kirk Cousins suffered a season-ending injury – Clayton Tune started week nine. Murray came back in week ten, leading the Cards to victory over the Falcons. Arizona’s three other wins came from 2023 playoff teams: the Eagles, Cowboys and Steelers.

Ossenfort made plenty of moves to add to Arizona’s rebuilding roster. Notable additions include Jonah Williams, Sean Murphy-Bunting and Bilal Nichols. Williams is set to be a starter on the offensive line following D.J. Humphries’ release while SMB plugs a hole in the secondary. Nichols and Justin Jones will boost the defensive tackle room since they are both impactful players who can get to the quarterback.

Marvin Harrison Jr. highlights the Cards’ 2024 draft class as the Redbirds had a huge need for a receiver and is a true outside threat who has a great release and is a threat running after the catch due to his speed. Arizona used an acquired pick from Houston to draft Mizzou’s Darius Robinson to complement Nichols and Jones on the defensive line. The rest of the draft saw the Cardinals fill out positions of need.

Based on the 2023 win percentage, Arizona has the NFL’s seventh least demanding schedule. All the games in the slate aren’t easy wins, however, the best chances for victories are week two’s game with the Rams at home, the Commanders, Patriots and Panthers. Other matchups will be tough, importantly the 49ers, Lions and Bills.

Expectations are low heading into 2024, however, the Cards hope to see progress in their rebuild dating to the end of 2022.
