The Arizona Cardinals needed depth at the cornerback position and they were not shy about snapping up players on waivers. Former Pittsburgh Steeler Crezdon Butler and Cincinnati draft pick Korey Lindsay are now apart of the Arizona Cardinals. Both players will offer the Cardinals young talent while adding much-needed depth to a position that has […]

Say what you will about the Arizona Cardinals heading into the 2011 season, but the team is certainly better on paper now than it was at conclusion of 2010. “The one thing we can say coming out of preseason is that the Arizona Cardinals management, their front office, is unified and committed to winning,” Arizona […]
The Arizona Cardinals parted with punter Ben Graham Friday, cutting their punter of the last 2+ seasons in favor of veteran Dave Zastudil. Sure, Graham had his struggles last season and wasn’t particularly sharp this training camp, but there was a thought that he’d have an edge in the competition. He was, after all, the […]
PHOENIX – The Arizona Cardinals made their cuts on Friday and one of the biggest surprises was the release of safety Matt Ware. The cut was interesting considering it leaves the Cardinals with only eight defensive backs total on the roster which includes Adrian Wilson and Michael Adams, who have been sidelined with injuries all […]
The Arizona Cardinals cut their roster to 53 players Friday, but that doesn’t mean the team you see now will be the one that opens up the season September 11 against the Carolina Panthers. “The 53 man roster is written in pencil right now,” head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “This will not be the same […]
The Cardinals trimmed their roster to 53 players Friday, making a few surprise cuts along the way. Most notably is punter Ben Graham, who apparently lost the training camp battle to veteran Dave Zastudil. Re-signed prior to camp, Graham was never able to rediscover the magic that led to his excellent 2009 campaign, and it […]
Kevin Kolb finished his first preseason in Arizona having completed 21 of 38 passes for 353 yards and one touchdown. Not bad, but not great. “Seven starts under his belt, a few preseason games,” Kurt Warner said on the NFL Network, “nothing extremely impressive that we’ve seen up to this point in a Cardinal uniform.” […]
Cam Newton will begin his NFL career on the same field where his NCAA one ended. As the starting quarterback. The Carolina Panthers announced the Heisman Trophy winner will be their Week 1 starter, something that really comes as a shock to no one. After all, who else would the Panthers start, Derek Anderson? That’s […]

You’d think having Larry Fitzgerald to throw the ball to is a blessing for any quarterback, but having No. 11 on the field also presents some challenges. “You have to change the whole paradigm shift, the way you think,” former NFL QB Jeff Van Raaphorst said. “You throw to him when he’s covered.” Van Raaphorst […]
Not long ago the Cardinals’ Darnell Dockett fired off a series of tweets about owning a gun. Saying he has a license to carry and doesn’t bring it to work, the Pro Bowl defensive lineman wrote, “I got a son/family 2 look after & no 1 gonna protect them like me period!” Dockett, of course, […]
Being compared to Chad Pennington is probably not something Kevin Kolb was hoping for. Unfortunately for him, and possibly Arizona Cardinals fans, that’s what ESPN’s John Clayton did Wednesday (well, sort of). The reference to the former Jets and Dolphins quarterback came as part of a column where Clayton ranked every quarterback in the NFL […]
The Cardinals could use help at the cornerback position, and they may find it in a familiar face. Bryant McFadden, who played for Arizona in 2009, may be on his way out of Pittsburgh. Arizona Sports 620’s Dave Burns thinks he could wind up back in the Valley. Or, if not McFadden, someone of a […]
The Cardinals didn’t need much time to find a replacement for Greg Toler, signing veteran Fred Bennett late Monday.

Bennett was originally drafted in the fourth round of the 2007 draft […]

Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt is not going to let the recent rash of injuries distract the team from focusing on the ultimate goal: Super Bowl. “It’s part of the game,” Whisenhunt said of injuries. “It happens all over the league.” After news broke that CB Greg Toler will be out for the season, […]
Former Dallas Cowboy great and current Fox NFL analyst Daryl Johnston likes the Arizona Cardinals’ pick up of Kevin Kolb, but isn’t convinced that the team will run away with NFC West crown. “I’m a Kevin Kolb fan,” Johnston said to Arizona Sports 620’s Doug and Wolf on Monday. “I just like him, he’s mentally […]
The Arizona Cardinals made a couple of trades during the offseason, sending Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Tim Hightower to Philadelphia and Washington, respectively. The moves made sense, as the team had depth the cornerback and running back positions, and the trades were used to help fill holes the team had. Oops. “They traded a corner and […]
The regular season is just about two weeks away and Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb is already preparing for the opener.

Patrick Peterson finally got one. With just more than two minutes remaining in the first quarter the rookie read Chargers QB Philip Rivers’ eyes, left his man and made a break on the ball. A little running and a couple of jukes later, touchdown. “It felt great because I was screaming the whole way to […]
Now that was what the Arizona Cardinals envisioned their offense doing when they traded for Kevin Kolb. The Cardinals scored 31 points Saturday — 24 of which came courtesy of the offense — and while they ultimately lost to the San Diego Chargers, the good certainly outweighed the bad in this one. Take, for instance, […]
