It’s no secret the Arizona Cardinals have a glaring need at the quarterback position and will likely evaluate all avenues in their search for a signal caller this offseason.

According to profootballtalk.com, the Cardinals are expected to target a quarterback in the early stages of free agency.

While it is still unknown who they will go after, the options appear limited at the position.

But, according to the report, the Cardinals could be waiting for Carson Palmer to become available.

Palmer is due $13 million next year and it is believed the Raiders will release him if he doesn’t take a pay cut.

Oakland could also opt to restructure Palmer’s deal and then trade him to net a draft pick in return, instead of releasing him and getting no compensation.

Palmer threw for 4,018 yards and 22 touchdowns with 14 interceptions last season.
