TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals began addressing their issues with cornerback depth by trading an undisclosed conditional 2018 draft pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for cornerback Marcus Cooper on Friday.

Cooper’s size -- 6-foot-2 and 192 pounds -- fits the Cardinals’ preferences and he played in a defensive scheme in Kansas City the last three years that features mainly man and press coverage. But he played just 86 snaps in 10 games last season for the Chiefs, with 68 coming in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers.

Cooper was drafted out of Rutgers in the seventh round in 2013 by the San Francisco 49ers, who waived him after training camp that year. He was claimed by Kansas City and played in all 16 games in 2013 with six starts. He had 41 tackles, 11 pass breakups and three interceptions as a rookie but his playing time slowly decreased after that.

He played in 13 games in 2014 and recorded 18 tackles to go with three pass breakups.

Cooper, 26, enters a cornerbacks room that’s slim on options beyond Patrick Peterson, rookie Brandon Williams and Justin Bethel. Aside from Cooper, there are five other corners on the roster vying for a spot on the 53-man list.

Teams need to reduce their 75-man rosters to 53 by 4 p.m. ET Saturday.
