You can expect to hear a lot about the battle between Kevin Kolb and John Skelton over the next few months. Both quarterbacks have started for the Cardinals. Both quarterbacks have won games for the Cardinals. Both quarterbacks have potential. Neither quarterback is a proven commodity. Day 1 of OTAs is certainly no time to […]
Phoenix teams and their fans are no strangers to poor officiating. Many a time has a game, series or season turned on some questionable calls, which consistently seem to go against Arizona’s teams. Are we complaining too much when, in reality, our teams are just not better? Perhaps. But that doesn’t change the frustration of […]
As it pertains to the Cardinals QB competition, only one thing is certain: Neither Richard Bartel nor Ryan Lindley will open the season under center. Unless, of course, disaster strikes, in which case the team may as well fold up shop because they aren’t winning much this year anyway. Assuming disaster does not strike, one […]
The Arizona Cardinals inked another member of their 2012 NFL Draft class Thursday, coming to terms with 7th-round pick Nate Potter.

For his career, Potter played in […]
The Arizona Cardinals have four of the NFL’s best 100 players. At least, according to CBSSports.com’s Pete Prisco, they do. In a piece titled Top 100 NFL players: No influence here, other than scouts, film, Prisco ranks Larry Fitzgerald ninth, Calais Campbell 58th, Adrian Wilson 70th and Darnell Dockett 92nd. Here’s what he has to […]
Cardinals rookie Jamell Fleming did not expect to be there in the third round for the Arizona Cardinals. Figuring he’d be a late second rounder, the corner from Oklahoma didn’t think he’d end up in the Valley — until, of course, he did. “They called me early on in the round, like right when the […]
Bill Bidwill has a reputation as one of the NFL’s worst owners, with much of it deserved because his teams have perennially been at or near the bottom of the standings. Things have changed around the organization ever since Michael Bidwill took over, with impressive results to show for it. However, that wasn’t enough for […]
The Arizona Cardinals signed free agent defensive end Landon Cohen to a contract, the club announced Wednesday. Cohen, a four-year pro from Ohio University, spent the 2011 season with the New England Patriots, playing in one game. The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Cohen was originally a 7th round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in 2008. In […]
Bobby Massie does not know why he slipped to the fourth round in the 2012 NFL Draft. Graded by many to be a second-round talent, that he fell to the Cardinals at 112 is something that will motivate him going forward, as he looks to prove to everyone that he should have been taken sooner. […]
The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms with four of their seven 2012 draft choices, the team announced Tuesday.

Their trip to the Cardinals complex isn’t a long one — just 10 miles from where they played their college ball. Their goal to stay, however, may require a much longer journey.

The Arizona Cardinals just completed their rookies-only minicamp, and apparently liked what they saw out of some of the players who were invited on a tryout basis. The team announced Monday it had signed safety Eddie Elder, running back Javarris James, cornerback Larry Parker and kicker/punter Ricky Schmitt. Elder should be familiar to Valley fans, […]
Tempe, Arizona — The Arizona Cardinals continued the rookie-only minicamp Saturday, giving first-year players a chance to make an impression on the coaching staff without any veterans around. That in itself makes for an interesting weekend, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said, though it has its benefits, too. “It’s certainly, from the standpoint of intimidation factor […]
Calais Campbell is happy the business of his contract has been taken care of. The 25-year-old defensive lineman and the Cardinals agreed to a five-year contract, ensuring the emerging star remains in the Valley until at least 2016.

This is the first rookies only […]

The team announced late Thursday that they and Campbell have agreed to a five-year deal that will keep the emerging star in the Valley through 2016. Campbell, 25, is coming off a career year in […]
Patrick Peterson may have been a Pro Bowler as a rookie in 2011, but that has not stopped a prominent NFL writer to pick him as a breakout candidate for 2012. In fact, if CBSSports.com’s Pete Prisco is right, Peterson, who is an impact player in the return game, will become the cover corner the […]
Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely is offering his support to the Phoenix Coyotes, along with a large contingent of the Birdgang. Feely tweeted a picture of the Cardinals group before embarking on a bus trip to Glendale for the Coyotes series-clinching win against Nashville. Getting ready to leave for the Coyotes game. Cardinals supporting Yotes!!! […]
As the saying goes, the backup quarterback is the most popular player in the NFL. If true, what does that say about the backup’s backup? Ryan Lindley, whom the Cardinals selected in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft, is seeing his stock rise without having thrown an NFL pass. Sports Illustrated’s Peter King […]

The football world shook Wednesday morning following the announcement of the suspensions to four players in the wake of the New Orleans’ Saints pay-for-performance/bounty program. The NFL’s official release made public Wednesday made reference to a $10,000 bounty put on Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner during their 2010 NFC Divisional Playoff game, won by the […]
The Arizona Cardinals, by most accounts, had a solid 2012 NFL Draft. The Cards gave their offense a new weapon by drafting Notre Dame star receiver Michael Floyd in the first round, addressed needs by drafting three offensive lineman and also invested in their defensive secondary by using picks on cornerback Jamell Fleming and safety […]
The Arizona Cardinals stayed true to their draft board this week, and watched it pay dividends with the players afforded to them. One draft pick that was a bit of head scratcher was the selection of San Diego State quarterback Ryan Lindley 185th overall. While Lindley boasts a strong frame and was a consistent presence […]
Never will you hear a coach talk badly about his draft. So, it should come as no surprise that Arizona’s Ken Whisenhunt told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug and Wolf he felt good about what the team accomplished over the weekend. “I think that the way the players came off the board, I felt like we […]
