It’s June 14th, and with respect to Maxx Williams, the Arizona Cardinals currently do not have a capable receiving tight end on their roster.
Now you could make the argument that after the arrival of wide receivers A.J. Green and Rondale Moore, the team is best positioned to fully embrace the “10 personnel” approach. This of course being the package of four wide receivers and a single back; something that head coach Kliff Kingsbury was often known for during his time at Texas Tech.

Over the past 36 years, the Cardinals have not seen a 600-yard receiving season from a tight end. Jay Novacek, of Cowboys fame, leads the pack with 569 in 1988. Since moving to Arizona that year, the Cards have used five second- or third-round picks on tight ends most recently Rob Housler and Troy Niklas and signed the likes of Todd Heap, Jermaine Gresham, and Maxx Williams. But the franchise has long displayed apathy for this post and now employs a coach not big on tight end usage. Dan Arnold did show promise last season but became a Panther for two years and $6 million. A fascinating, half-committed search continues.
