The Arizona Cardinals are scheduled to hold a private workout Saturday at USC for quarterback Matt Barkley, according to ESPN.
The Cardinals own the seventh overall pick in the 2013 draft. Despite completing a deal for quarterback Carson Palmer on Tuesday, the Cardinals are still interested in finding a long-term solution replacement. Like Barkley, Palmer is a USC alum.
Barkley also worked out for the Buffalo Bills in Los Angeles on Monday. At his pro day last week, he completed 56 of 62 passes, including two drops, according to USA Today. He didn’t attend the NFL Scouting Combine in February because he was resting his injured right shoulder.
Though he missed the final two games of the 2012 season, Barkley passed for 3,273 yards and 36 touchdowns as a senior, to become the Pac-12 leader for career passing yards (12,327) and touchdowns (116).
