Get to know new Arizona Cardinals WR Robbie Anderson (Arizona Sports)

The Arizona Cardinals acquired wide receiver Robbie Anderson from the Carolina Panthers for two future late-round draft picks.

Mayfield started five of Anderson’s six games in Carolina this year and Newton started five games for the Panthers in 2021. On Sunday, Anderson played 52% of offensive snaps in a 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Only five players posted faster times at the combine, with Will Fuller (4.32) as the only wide receiver. Though he’s 30th in receptions in that span, he averages more yards per reception than Hopkins, as well as Odell Beckham Jr., Cooper Kupp and Davante Adams. Anderson, 29, struggled in six games for the Panthers this season. However, he has eight receptions for 104 yards since Week 2.

Robbie Anderson has found a new home but will have to get up to speed in Arizona quickly.

Pelissero reports that Anderson is owed $690,000 of his base salary; that will be paid by Arizona after the trade. Anderson is under contract until 2023, so the Cardinals can keep him around beyond this season if they so desire. Like Brown, Anderson is a deep threat who has a 1,000-yard season to his name. So, Anderson will serve as a like-for-like replacement. Anderson refused even to sit with his fellow receivers, prompting interim coach Steve Wilks to tell him to leave the field. The Cardinals entered the season with plenty of recognizable names on their depth chart.
