Now that it appears Todd Haley will not be coming home again, former Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Kurt Warner weighs in on what went wrong. The former Kansas City Chiefs head coach’s name was linked to the Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback coaches position earlier this offseason. Haley, who served as the Cardinals’ offensive coordinator from 2007-2008, seemed […]
A healthy Peyton Manning is better than any quarterback currently on the Arizona Cardinals’ roster. Manning, who continues to be linked to Arizona should the Colts release him, would bring 54,828 yards passing, 399 touchdowns, a Super Bowl ring and a laser, rocket arm with him to the desert. According to former Cards QB and […]
Rumors about Peyton Manning wearing Cardinal red next season are not going away. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Arizona Cardinals are on the short list of teams that Manning would sign with if he was released by the Colts. Indianapolis owns the first overall selection in this year’s draft and is expected to […]
The Cardinals relieved QB coach Chris Miller of his duties a couple weeks ago, and while there appears to be no favorite to replace him, some big-time names have popped up as candidates. It was reported last week that former Cards OC and Chiefs HC Todd Haley could get the job, and late Sunday NFL […]
It’s no secret the Arizona Cardinals would greatly benefit from having a solid No. 2 wide receiver opposite the explosive Larry Fitzgerald. While a lot of people believe the Cardinals need to find a second receiver elsewhere — either in the NFL draft or via free agency — ESPN Insider Chris Sprow thinks the team […]
The Cardinals have the 13th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, and many think the team will be looking for offensive line help when they make their selection. ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper is one of them. Kiper’s latest mock draft, version 1.0, has the Cardinals taking Stanford tackle Jonathan Martin with their pick. […]
It appears Todd Haley may return to the Cardinals after all, just not as offensive coordinator. Arizona Sports 620’s John Gambadoro reported Wednesday that Haley joining the Cardinals’ staff as QB coach is a real possibility. “Heard he is leaning that direction,” Gambadoro tweeted. One of the reasons Haley was a hot coaching candidate a […]
For the last few years, it seems like there’s been a group of vocal Arizona Cardinals fans who routinely call for the ouster of offensive line coach Russ Grimm. This year was no different after the Cardinals finished 8- 8 and had trouble protecting their quarterbacks for a good portion of the season. Add in […]
Larry Fitzgerald’s hands are the stuff of legend. His ability to catch most anything thrown his way is well documented, and even commercialized by a popular breakfast food chain. Fitzgerald is coming off a season that saw him record 80 catches for 1,411 yards and eight touchdowns — a down year, compared to others he’s […]
Cardinals offensive lineman Daryn Colledge announced on Twitter Tuesday that he is undergoing elbow surgery. Ladies and gentleman the day has arrived, elbow surgery yeah!! I’ll be off my game for a few days. But I’ll see y’all on the other side. — Daryn Colledge (@DarynColledge71) January 17, 2012 We’re not sure which elbow is […]
Former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher made the decision on Friday to take the reins for the St. Louis Rams, turning down an offer made by the Miami Dolphins. Fisher did not coach this past season, as he was fired from the Titans in January 2011 after spending 16 seasons with the team. He has […]
Patrick Peterson had an incredible year as a punt returner. Tying an NFL record with four touchdowns, the Cardinals rookie averaged 15.9 yards per return, and his 699 total punt return yards were 156 more than the second-place total. So maybe it should come as no surprise that the Football Outsiders at ESPN.com (Insider) put […]
Everybody has at least one. Mine is George Michael’s “Freedom.” One song on your iPod that you’re embarrassed to own. One song that, when it blares out of your car stereo, up go the windows. When George belts out “I won’t let you down…I will not give you up” there is an internal acknowledgement; I […]
If you’re anything like us, the idea of Peyton Manning in an Arizona Cardinals uniform is as great as it is far- fetched. After all, if Manning is healthy and if the Colts decide to cut him, he would only come to the desert if he wants to and, even then, only if the team […]
You couldn’t hear a thing. And, in hindsight, you didn’t need to. The look said it for him and, at the same time, said it all. Not the look on his face, mind you. In truth, you couldn’t see that. All you really could see were the slumped shoulders, along with the single bent knee […]
It’s always fun after any NFL Draft to peruse the internet and read the endless grades experts hand out to the teams in the league for the players they selected. But does anybody really know how these players will adjust to the pro ranks and actually help their team? The answer to that question is […]
Ray Horton did a great job in his first year as the Arizona Cardinals’ defensive coordinator. Credited with molding an underachieving unit into one that practically carried the Cardinals to an 8-8 season, Horton is one of the reasons Valley fans are excited about the future of their NFL team. Word leaked last week that […]
Adding to the rumors about the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback situation is the idea of the team deciding to cut its losses and release Kevin Kolb. Cleveland.com writer Tony Grossi made the suggestion that Kolb would be a good fit with the Browns, where they run the West Coast offense the QB knows but doesn’t […]
Pittsburgh-West could be adding another member next season. “Anyone who thinks Hines Ward will retire hasn’t been around him much,” Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette writes. “He plans to play in 2012, whether it’s with the Steelers or somewhere else.” According to ESPN’s NFL rumors page, that somewhere else could be Arizona, as […]
Ken Whisenhunt hinted last week that there may be changes on his coaching staff, and while many have thought that would mean the addition of Todd Haley, the first domino to fall was the firing of QB coach Chris Miller. Reports surfaced late Monday that the team has let go of Miller, who just finished […]
Didn’t we just endure a full off-season and then another 16 games of a “quarterback controversy” here in Arizona? But rumors never stop in sports, especially when former NFL executives spark them on national television. Charley Casserly, a former front office guru with the Washington Redskins and Houston Texans, and now an analyst with CBS […]
Are the Arizona Cardinals a QB away from being a contender? With the way the defense played late in the year and the talent at receiver and running back, it’s hard to argue against the idea. With that in mind, along with questions about whether or not Kevin Kolb or John Skelton will ever develop […]
A guest on Arizona Sports 620’s Doug and Wolf Tuesday, Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said he will use the next few weeks to make some key decisions. “I’m sure there will be some things around here that I need to clean up,” Whiz said. Whisenhunt could have been discussing a variety of things, as […]
The Arizona Cardinals may welcome a familiar face to their ranks in the next few days. According to Chris Hamblin, the Cardinals extended an offer to former offensive coordinator Todd Haley, though the spot offered is unclear. Under Haley’s offense, the Cards produced one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, tying for third […]
Former Arizona Cardinals DB Aeneas Williams is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Williams played 10 seasons in Arizona, without missing a game, from 1991-2000 before finishing his career in St. Louis in 2004.

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback situation in the upcoming offseason will be similar to the story witnessed in 2011. “We’ve got a lot of things to go through in looking at our season,” head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “I think that one thing has been consistent: We’re always going to play the best player, the player […]
Calais Campbell is coming off a season with the Arizona Cardinals setting a personal, single-season high of 72 tackles, leading the team with eight sacks, and finishing fourth on the team for unassisted tackles with 53. The organization would like to see the free-agent-to-be continue his growth continue, still in a Cardinals uniform. “He’s had […]
Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Levi Brown may have played well over the second half of the 2011 season, but inconsistency in the first four-and-a-half years of his career have left many disappointed with his play. Brown is due a pay increase from his recent $5 million to $8.3 million, but the team will likely release […]
Patrick Peterson of the Arizona Cardinals was named as one of the five finalists for 2011 Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year Friday.
