The Arizona Cardinals have hired former Minnesota Vikings assistant wide receivers coach Tony Sorrentino to be their new receivers coach. Sorrentino spent the last four seasons working with standout receivers like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in Minnesota. He now joins the Cardinals' offensive staff, where he will work with young wideouts Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson.

Why it matters

The Cardinals are looking to bolster their receiving corps after a disappointing 2025 season. Bringing in an experienced coach like Sorrentino, who has worked with some of the league's top young receivers, could help develop Arizona's young pass-catching talent and improve the team's aerial attack.

The details

Sorrentino previously served as an assistant receivers coach and offensive quality control coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2013-2015. He has also spent time in the college coaching ranks. While Sorrentino has not worked directly with new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur, he does have a prior relationship with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who was the Jaguars' offensive coordinator in 2015.

  • Sorrentino spent the last four seasons as the Vikings' assistant wide receivers coach.
  • He is now joining the Cardinals' coaching staff ahead of the 2026 NFL season.
