The Arizona Cardinals have officially announced their team captains for the 2026 season, selecting five players for the honor. The chosen captains are quarterback Jacoby Brissett, center Hjalte Froholdt, safety Budda Baker, linebacker Mack Wilson, and long snapper Casey Kreiter.

While these players are recognized for their leadership, there is speculation about whether other deserving Cardinals players were overlooked due to the limited number of captain spots. This discussion arises in a season where some teams have appointed up to ten captains.

Fans are encouraged to share their opinions on the captain selections in the comments section.

In related news, running back Bam Knight has garnered praise from offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur for his style of play. Additionally, there is positive news regarding Jeremiyah Love's availability for the first week of the season.

On a broader NFL scale, coaches and executives are making predictions about the league's 2026 award winners, while four quarterbacks are projected to be first-round picks in the 2027 mock drafts. The New England Patriots have also reached a four-year contract extension with cornerback Christian Gonzalez.
