The Arizona Cardinals are not exactly new to high-profile free agent signings. In 2000, they landed pried center Mike Gruttadauria away from the Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams. In 2002, they landed cornerback Duane Starks from the Ravens and tight end Freddie Jones from the Chargers. In 2003, the team signed Super Bowl MVP […]
What a fantastic start of the NFL year for the Arizona Cardinals and just think, they still have the NFL Draft to fill the rest of the holes on the roster. The Cardinals need a little help in round one to do that though, they need someone to fall to them in order to address […]
John Carlson may not be the flashiest of the Arizona Cardinals’ free agent signings, but he may prove to be one of the most important. He’s coming off a 32-catch, 344-yard, one-touchdown performance in a 2013 campaign that was cut short due to a concussion, but prior to his two-year stint with the Vikings, Carlson […]
Once released by the New York Jets, Antonio Cromartie was a free agent able to sign with whatever team he wanted. After less than two weeks on the open market, he signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals. “I think the biggest part I was just surprised by not having, once I got released, […]

Our latest poll question asked readers what they thought of the Arizona Cardinals signing of cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who was recently released […]
Jonathan Dwyer was not the biggest name on the free agent market. The running back had a respectable four-year run with the Pittsburgh Steelers after being selected in the sixth round of the 2010 draft out of Georgia Tech, but his career totals of 971 yards and two touchdowns are not exactly eye-popping. But the […]
Antonio Cromartie wanted to find a team that was going to contend for a Super Bowl. So, he landed in Arizona. The Cardinals signed the cornerback to a one-year deal reportedly worth $3.25 million, with another $500,000 available if he plays in all 16 games. While being introduced to the media Thursday, the former New […]
Antonio Cromartie is new to the Arizona Cardinals, signing a one-year deal with the team looking to rehabilitate his value and resuscitate his career. A three time Pro Bowler, he has to do so because of what most considered to be a down 2013 season in New York with the Jets. Cromartie spent the last […]
Antonio Cromartie is a game changer. This is a Pro Bowl corner that has sick ball skills and he’s long. Line him up opposite of Patrick Peterson and the Arizona Cardinals suddenly have five Pro Bowls on the perimeter. Steve Keim has made a concerted effort to get longer and more athletic in the secondary […]
All morning I’m thinking nothing will take me away from college basketball. This is my time to do nothing but do what I love. Baseball and college basketball. Then the Cardinals strike. Antonio Cromartie and Patrick Peterson are in the same defensive backfield. It’s not just the signing that makes Steve Keim impressive as a […]
The Arizona Cardinals have their cornerback. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter was the first to report the team had come to an agreement on a one-year deal with New York Jet Antonio Cromartie, and the team has since confirmed the news. Financial terms of the deal are not yet known. Cromartie, 29, started all 16 […]
The NFL free agency period has been friendly to Carson Palmer so far. After the first week of negotiations between players and teams, the Arizona Cardinals targeted the specific position players they needed, went out and got them. The 34-year-old quarterback received help on the offensive line with the signing of 6-foot-8 tackle Jared Veldheer, […]
Another one of the Arizona Cardinals’ free agents has flown the coop. Defensive back/kick returner Javier Arenas, who spent just one season in the desert, has signed with the Atlanta Falcons on a one-year contract. The Cardinals acquired Arenas in an offseason trade with the Kansas City Chiefs that sent fullback Anthony Sherman to the […]
The Arizona Cardinals’ search for cornerback depth is leading them in a new direction. According to AZCentral Sports’ Kent Somers, Mike Jenkins is expected to visit with the team Tuesday. Jenkins, 28, spent last season with the Oakland Raiders after being with the Dallas Cowboys the previous five. The former first-round pick, now 28, tallied […]
When the Arizona Cardinals step to the podium to use the 20th overall selection in the NFL Draft on May 8, there’s a small chance they’ll take one of the players being mocked to them — especially mocks that have occurred in March. With the Cardinals needs being fairly obvious, that leaves figuring out the […]
As of now, the Arizona Cardinals have a combined four Pro Bowl appearances from the members of their secondary thanks to Patrick Peterson (3) and Justin Bethel (1). They could nearly double total that with just one signing. Antonio Cromartie, the former New York Jet and San Diego Charger, was in for a visit with […]
The Arizona Cardinals announced they had re-signed cornerback Bryan McCann to a one-year contract. Terms were not disclosed. McCann played the final six games of the 2013 season with the Cardinals, registering two special teams tackles. He has also spent time with the Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders. For his career, […]
Depending on who you ask, the opinions of free agent cornerback Antonio Cromartie will be rather varied. He made the Pro Bowl each of the last two seasons, which should indicate he’s at least pretty good, but then he graded as one of the worst cornerbacks in the NFL last season by ProFootballFocus. Since being […]
New York Jets free agent cornerback Antonio Cromartie visited the Arizona Cardinals organization Thursday. And according to ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, he met with the team again on Friday. It’s hard to make out how far the talks went, but Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson apparently tried to play ambassador to the team Saturday on Twitter. Peterson […]

The early returns for what the Arizona Cardinals have done in free agency, at least on a local level, have been pretty positive. Their two biggest moves, signing Raiders left tackle Jared Veldheer and Panthers receiver Ted Ginn, Jr., appear to have filled two of the team’s biggest holes. Left tackle? Check. Fast wide receiver? […]
The Cards signed Ted Ginn Jr. to a three-year contract worth $9.75 million. I applaud the signing and eagerly look forward to watching the impact it has on Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd. There’s an axiom in life that says the only thing more powerful than money is the promise of money. Well, in the […]
It’s only been three weeks and the Arizona Cardinals’ needs have…well, they haven’t changed too much. Possibly the order of importance of those needs has, however. The Cardinals came into the offseason with specific needs as outlined by their general manager Steve Keim. Based on their roster the needs were: • Offensive Line • Edge […]

TEMPE, Ariz. — They say you can’t teach speed. You may be able to coach up a player to better utilize whatever speed he possesses, but someone who is not particularly fast will never become particularly fast. Ted Ginn, Jr. does not have that problem, and because of that the Arizona Cardinals have the deep […]
Bruce Arians finally found his speed. The Arizona Cardinals have signed receiver Ted Ginn, Jr., formerly of the Carolina Panthers, to a three-year deal. A former first round pick of the Miami Dolphins’, Ginn caught 36 passes for 556 yards and five touchdowns last season. His average of 15.4 yards per catch would have ranked […]
The Arizona Cardinals may be looking to dip into the free agent pool of cornerbacks. Former Jets CB Antonio Cromartie is visiting the Cardinals today, per source. #nyj — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) March 13, 2014 Cromartie, 29, was in New York the last four seasons. In 2013, he picked off three passes and tallied nine […]

Linebacker Marcus Benard was re-signed by the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday. The team announced it had penned the 28-year-old Jackson State product to a one-year deal.
