Josh Sweat was the topic of commerce chatter within the offseason, because the Cardinals obtained calls about the skin linebacker. He missed all the voluntary offseason program, selecting to work out on his personal as he has executed previously.
It was unclear whether or not that was associated to the firing of Jonathan Gannon, who Sweat adopted from Philadelphia after two seasons along with the Eagles.

Additional questions have been raised when the Cardinals positioned Sweat on the energetic/bodily unable to carry out checklist to begin coaching camp this week.
Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur stated Friday that the transfer was associated to Sweat’s ramp-up for coaching camp and never any unhappiness from the one-time Pro Bowler.
“I’m going to say no,” LaFleur stated, by way of Darren Urban of the group web site, “because I don’t see any discontent, and he’s never expressed any discontent to me.”
LaFleur clarified that whereas Sweat missed the voluntary work, he was across the Dignity Health Training Center and in touch with the group.

“Everyone is on the same page the entire time,” LaFleur stated. “You guys can believe me or not, but I am not worried about Josh Sweat at all in terms of his health. He’s logged a lot of miles in this league, and I think not only for Josh to peak on Sept. 13 [for the opener], but for Josh to also get through the rigors of a 17-game season the way that he plays and the motor he plays with, this is best for him and the Cardinals.”
Sweat led the group with a career-high 12 sacks final season.
