The Cardinals have now officially moved on from their 2024 season loss and the frustrating 8-9 win-loss record. They started off the 2025 offseason by adding free agents to Kyler Murray‘s squad. And few days back, the Cardinals added only one offensive guard, that is Hayden Conner, and inducted six defensive guys. The wait is now for the mini-camps and training camps for the 2025 season. But before the training camp starts, the Cardinals’ HC has sent a clear message to Murray’s locker room. In fact, it’s a genuine demand.
The HC, Jonathan Gannon, only expects the guys to be better than they were in 2024. When Gannon was asked about his star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., HC first started off by saying, “When the staff is in place, the jump from Year 1 to Year 2, I think that’s where guys make a huge jump.” He then turned his talk to Marvin Harrison Jr. “This guy played unbelievable ball for us, but if you talk to him, he’d be the first to tell you, like, ‘I need to get better at these couple things.’” He also added, “Man, he has gone to work on them. He looks awesome out there right now. I’m really excited to see where his game goes.” And if we look at the progress he has made, HC is expecting the right thing.

To talk more about Marvin Harrison’s 2024 season, he has made 62 receptions at 116 targets and landed eight TDs after covering 885 yards. The HC thinks the guy like Harrison Jr. can reach great heights the next season with the skills and discipline he has. And also want other guys to follow what the rookie WR is doing to get better for the upcoming season.
That’s why the HC said, “The guy’s a ready-made pro. He does all the right things. He was here the whole season.” He HC also added, “I’m not gonna speak truth into the universe, but just wait until this guy plays this year.”
Apart from this update, the Cardinals have made a great decision by adding DT Elijah Simmons through undrafted free agency. All 32 teams forgot to draft this Tennessee star.
