Senger’s rise comes as Arizona’s on-field results were mixed. The Cardinals finished 3-12, yet Jacoby Brissett posted solid numbers by NFL standards, completing 64.9 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns. Arizona’s receiving corps included history-making tight end Trey McBride and wideouts Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. (battled injuries), providing a capable, if inconsistent, supporting cast behind an unreliable offensive line.
The broader context is that Arizona is producing coveted coaches despite its struggles. Detroit Lions’ hire of former Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing to the same role underscores the pipeline, and Bills and Packers now appear to be weighing Senger for their staffs. A young, rising quarterback specialist rarely stays below the radar for long.
If hired, Senger would join a pair of franchise quarterbacks—Josh Allen in Buffalo and Jordan Love in Green Bay—where injecting creativity could become essential given the lack of an All-Pro wide receiver on either team. Proponents suggest a QB coach with fresh ideas could help unlock more from elite talents, just as he appears to have done with Brissett in Arizona.
But Senger’s sample size with the Cardinals remains small, and Buffalo and Green Bay will need to assess him in person to form a clearer judgment. While some may view a quarterback coach as a supporting role, the right blend of scheme innovation and player development can complement a franchise cornerstone.
Ultimately, Senger’s potential move may hinge on the Cardinals’ ongoing head-coaching search and whether he’s positioned to stay within the organization or depart for a new opportunity. The pursuit from two high-profile teams suggests his name will remain in the QB-coaching conversation.
