The Arizona Cardinals reportedly want to trade a quarterback ahead of the NFL trade deadline, according to Jason La Canfora. With veterans Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew currently leading the depth chart, Arizona is reportedly planning to evaluate third-round rookie Carson Beck later this season.
