  "account": "The Arizona Cardinals have entered the preseason with a receiver room that is brimming with talent, and the coaches are faced with the challenge of making the final cutdown to 53 players by August 30. With six receivers on their active roster, the team must decide which players to retain and which to let go in order to make room.\n\nTwo rookies, Kendrick Bourne and Xavier Weaver, have been injured at different stages this preseason and are most likely out for the year. The other two spots on the roster are up for debate.\n\nBourne, who signed a two-year, $10 million contract, is considered a lock for one of the outside receiver spots. He has the experience and proven ability to handle the slot role.\n\nThe final three spots are up for grabs, and the Cardinals will have to choose between Reggie Virgil, a 22-year-old rookie with a four-year, $4.94 million contract, and Devin Duvernay, a 28-year-old veteran with a one-year, $1.85 million deal. Both players have unique skills that could make them valuable additions to the teams offense, but ultimately, the coaches will have to make the final decision.",
