Arizona Cardinals: Claimed LB Austin Keys off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings. Placed S Kitan Crawford on injured reserve. Released OL Tyler Cooper from the practice squad.

Waiver claim of depth LB (likely PS-level) for a team addressing linebacker need is a neutral depth move. Loss of Crawford to IR is unfortunate but unavoidable. Releasing Cooper from PS is inconsequential. Overall a marginal roster adjustment with no significant impact.

Based on media coverage and fan discussion

The Contract Value Index rates this as a fair-value signing with a CVI ratio of 1.28. Tyler projects at below-average production (45/100) for the OL position. The salary is well below the OL market rate (34/100), contributing to the value profile. At 95/100 on the age-prime scale, Tyler is in or near his prime years.
