94 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 94?

USA Todaya day ago

94 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 94? With 94 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 94.
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are now less than 14 weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 94 days away.
As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals.
Who has worn No. 94?
Cardinals players to wear No. 94
No. 94 currently belongs to one of the Cardinals' big offseason additions — defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson. He is expect to have a big impact on the play up front defensively.
DL Dalvin Tomlinson (2025-?)
DL P.J. Mustipher (2024)
DL Carlos Watkins (2023)
DL Zach Allen (2020-2022)
DL Caraun Reid (2019)
DL Cameron Malveaux (2018)
DL Xavier Williams (2015-2017)
LB Sam Acho (2011-2014)
DL Keilen Dykes (2009)
DL Antonio Smith (2006-2008)
DL Antonio Cochran (2005)
DL Peppi Zellner (2004)
DL Marcus Bell (2001-2003)
DL Corey Sears (1999-2000)
DL Bernard Wilson (1994-1998)
LB David Merritt (1993)
DL Jeff Faulkner (1991-1992)
DL Gary Dulin (1986)
No. 94 is another number that has only been used in the last 40 years. It has also been mostly a number for less impactful and transient players, although Wilson was solid for five seasons and Antonio Smith was a key piece to their Super Bowl run in 2008. Based on this list, Tomlinson is the best player to wear it even before he plays a down. Let's hope that he continues his career play so that is a reality.

CB Jalen Ramsey named top trade target for Arizona Cardinals

CB Jalen Ramsey named top trade target for Arizona Cardinals Pro Football Network believes the Cardinals should trade for Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey. In the dead of the offseason, proposing trades is always content that we can consider. Several players are considered on the trading block like Cincinnati Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson and Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Pro Football Network proposed a trade candidate for each team to acquire. For the Arizona Cardinals, that is Ramsey. The Cardinals' offense was elite last season, but to truly contend for the playoffs, they need a better defense. Trading for a proven veteran like Jalen Ramsey could lift the entire group. Now in his 30s, Ramsey has shown some signs of slowing down, but he's still among the game's top corners. Teams targeted him 71 times in 2024, and he allowed a 62% completion rate and an 83.2 passer rating. It's unclear if the Miami Dolphins will actually deal him, but the two sides mutually agreed to explore trade options earlier this offseason. Miami would save $9.9 million against the cap if they move him after June 1. The Cardinals' passing metrics ay they need help in the secondary. They "finishing 27th in PFSN's Defense+ metric" and "also posted the worst pass defense success rate in the NFL at 50.2%." But would acquiring Ramsey make sense when the Cardinals are bullish on their young group of cornerbacks? Sean Murphy-Bunting's season-ending offseason knee injury was almost a blessing in disguise because now it allows 2024 second-round Max Melton and current second-round pick Will Johnson to play. Is Ramsey currently better than either of them? Surely, but what will Miami want in return? Acquiring Ramsey is more for a team who needs a final piece to make them more of a playoff contender. The Cardinals will compete to make the postseason, which means Ramsey might help, but will he fit long-term? The Cardinals are looking for something now and in the future. The Cardinals won't deal for Ramsey, but he would make the secondary really fun to watch.

Former Executive Says Ravens' Lamar Jackson Will Lead NFL in Passing

Former Executive Says Ravens' Lamar Jackson Will Lead NFL in Passing originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has long been one of the best quarterbacks in the sport. With one-of-one athleticism, an uncanny ability to find explosive plays out of structure, and tantalizing accuracy over the middle of the field, he is thoroughly among the pantheon of the NFL's elite. Advertisement That lends itself to hype and industry-wide respect from fans, analysts, players, and coaches. No serious person is doubting a two-time MVP at the peak of his powers. But it is important to tether expectations for his performance. Former Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson dropped his bold take about the Ravens' superstar on 'Good Morning Football,' suggesting that Jackson will lead the NFL in passing this season. "He's got Zay Flowers, he's got [DeAndre] Hopkins, he's got [Mark] Andrews, he's got [Isaiah] Likely, he's got [Offensive Coordinator] Todd Monken cooking up plays for him," Robinson said. "He's been an MVP in the past. They're knocking on the door of going to a Super Bowl." Robinson is right that Baltimore is well equipped to improve on offense and that a Super Bowl is very much within the range of outcomes. Leading the league in passing yards, though, feels like a bridge too far for Jackson – and that's probably for the best. Advertisement Since Jackson's meteoric rise in 2019, the following quarterbacks have been named the NFL's passing champion: 2019: Jameis Winston 2020: Deshaun Watson 2021: Tom Brady 2022: Patrick Mahomes 2023: Tua Tagovailoa 2024: Joe Burrow Winston's 30-touchdown, 30-interception season was as productive as it was chaotic, a statistical anomaly defined by unrelenting aggression. Watson led the league on a 4-12 team that needed to find explosive plays to feign competitiveness. Brady and Mahomes are inner-circle Hall-of-Fame-level pocket passers. Tagovailoa's offense supplanted the run game by funneling passers to the sport's most explosive receiving corps, and Burrow's defense demanded he perform like an MVP for much of the season. Jackson is never going to produce in the risk-laden ways that Winston did. The Ravens, and by extension, their defense, should be good enough to block the paths Watson and Burrow took to the top of the leaderboard. As far as Brady and Mahomes go, Jackson is similarly potent, but does so much more of his work on the ground. That's what makes Baltimore's offense special, and not an indictment of his talent. If Jackson had to stand in the pocket and deliver, maybe a 4,500-yard season would be in store. But with how important his legs are to creating explosive plays that's not going anywhere any time soon. Advertisement Further, Baltimore, by design, throws the ball infrequently. According to nfelo, the Ravens have posted a negative pass rate over expectation in every year since Jackson became the full-time starter. With about half the league boasting better odds at various sportsbooks, Jackson is a longshot to make good on Robinson's prediction. We won't put anything past the NFL's most electric player, but Jackson's success on the ground and the scoreboard make passing titles a race for other quarterbacks to run.

Ravens Won't Play Games With Potential Lamar Jackson Extension

Ravens Won't Play Games With Potential Lamar Jackson Extension originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Competency is underrated. A handful of teams have franchise quarterbacks. Several teams have playoff-caliber star power. But few teams are capable of recognizing when they have something good and doing everything in their power to hold onto it. Advertisement The Baltimore Ravens already made quarterback Lamar Jackson the highest-paid player in the sport in 2023. Just two years later, he's eligible to be extended again. While it may seem early to ask for another extension, Jackson isn't off base. Since Jackson earned his big payday, nine quarterbacks have signed extensions for more average annual value (Over the Cap). Thus, Baltimore may soon return to the negotiating table. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta recently foreshadowed another Jackson extension coming down the chute. "We've had some conversations before the draft, after the draft, in person last week," DeCosta told Jerry Coleman on the 'BMore Baseball Podcast.' "I think we're in the introductory sort of stage of looking at what an extension might look like." Advertisement The right details may still be in the works, but it should be rather simple. Jackson, soon enough, will be the highest-paid player in the sport once again. He could very well pass the $60 million mark that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott set ahead of the 2024 campaign. His current deal is worth five years and $260 million. The biggest obstacle in inking Jackson long term (again) might be the talent already on the roster. "We've got a lot of business that we're conducting with different players," DeCosta said. "We're in a situation where we're blessed to have most of the team coming back, but as we look out over the next two, three, four, five years, we're trying to keep as many good players as we can. We've got some guys that we feel like have a chance to really be prolific players for us that can be here a long time. We're trying to get as many of those guys signed up as possible. That's a big challenge, and Lamar's certainly a big part of that." A deal isn't imminent, and with multiple years left on his deal, the situation isn't particularly urgent. Jackson may stand to gain from waiting even longer for more stars to get paid. Advertisement In either event, the number on Jackson's next deal isn't something for Ravens fans to be worried about. He's a superstar with no signs of slowing down playing the sport's most important position. Pay him what he wants and try to win a Super Bowl.
