Schultz reported multiple teams would have interest in Sweat, and that the belief around the NFL is he’d be open to a trade, as he has been since the offseason.
High Price, No Rush
Schultz wrote it’s up to Arizona whether it ultimately decides to deal him, and the Cardinals did rebuff trade interest in Sweat over the summer.
Sweat said after Week 1 that he wanted to be in Arizona, and the 3-5 Cardinals beat Dallas 33-30 in overtime Sunday with Sweat recording a sack.
