Cardinals Trade for Hunter Long | Arizona Cardinals News

The Arizona Cardinals just pulled off a savvy trade, sending a 2028 sixth-rounder to Jacksonville for tight end Hunter Long — and a seventh-round pick in return. This move comes on the heels of trading Corey Kiner to New England, signaling a push to strengthen their TE depth. With Trey McBride locked in as starter, the real intrigue lies behind him: Elijah Higgins is rehabbing from a concussion, and Tip Reiman — a key blocker — remains on PUP with an ankle injury, potentially missing the first four games. Long, who knows coach Mike LaFleur from their Rams days, brings reliable blocking and could be a roster lock. As the Cardinals prepare for heavy two- and three-TD sets, they’re juggling roster spots — especially if Reiman eventually returns. The tight end room is coming together, but health and cuts still loom large before kickoff. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
