The Arizona Cardinals have officially introduced new general manager Monti Ossenfort. Here's everything you need to know about their new leader.

He knows expectations come with a name being tied to the Patriots and their Super Bowl wins over the last twenty years, but he isn’t naïve to it coming to him easily in Arizona. 31 of the trades did come during the first three rounds of the draft, with lots of talent to grab early in the draft and accumulating picks in the process. At his introductory press conference on Tuesday, Ossenfort showed a stern but passionate speech on what he wants from the top to bottom of this organization. He spent 15 of his 21 seasons in the NFL with the New England Patriots. Keim had been with the team since he started as a regional scout in 1999. Ossenfort was previously with the Tennessee Titans since 2020 where he worked as the director of player personnel under former general manager Jon Robinson.

"We talked about a number of things, but that's one of the things (Ossenfort) is going to be evaluating," Bidwill said.

Fresh into his new role, Arizona Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort's checklist is lengthy and detailed.

We’re going to look for the right type of players. “The little things make all the difference,” Ossenfort said. He’s building for sustained success, not a quick fix that ultimately sends the organization backward in the long run. The first order of business is getting Murray back on the field healthy. “There’s one goal here: to win,” the GM added. “We’re going to turn over every stone to find the right players for this team,” Ossenfort said Tuesday.
