The Arizona Cardinals are not in much need at the top of their depth chart at the quarterback position with starter Kyler Murray returning and former Atlanta Falcons starter Desmond Ridder joining the team as a backup this offseason. But that isn’t stopping the team from adding more players to try to bolster their depth.
According to league insider Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Arizona Cardinals are bringing in former Maryland Terrapins quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa for a tryout with the team this week.
“Former Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa, who participated in the #Seahawksβ rookie camp, accepted an invite to the #AZCardinalsβ rookie camp this week, source says. A second crack at a roster spot in the NFC West for Tagovailoa,” Garafolo said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Taulia Tagovailoa is the younger brother of current Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. He is battling to make an NFL roster this offseason after going undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft last month.
Obviously, the team’s decision to bring in Taulia Tagovailoa for a tryout led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Would love to see Taulia Tagovailoa compete with Clayton Tune for the No. 3 QB job.
Safe to assume Desmond Ridder will be the No. 2 QB behind Kyler Murray
With that said, the Cardinals might just keep two QBs on their 53-man roster with the third being on the practice squad https://t.co/0wgsUgxFbI

Most likely a camp arm with a shot to get snaps in preseason game 4 one would guess a la going up against Tune (assuming Ridder is QB2) https://t.co/tXEiTCxRKP

We’ll have to see whether or not the Cardinals ultimately sign Taulia Tagovailoa.
