The Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks both need a QB, and they appear to be after the same player. With the bidding war sure to be intense, the last thing the Cardinals want to do is see Charlie Whitehurst head to the northwest. Wait, what? Yeah, roughly a year ago the birds battled over the […]
Sal Paolantonio has already made it clear that the Seahawks and Cardinals will battle it out to obtain the services of Kevin Kolb, but what exactly could that do to the asking price for the Eagles signal caller? Like bidding in an eBay auction, the additional competition will likely just raise the price in the […]
As division rivals the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks go head-to-head twice a year. Thanks to the lockout and a lack of first string quarterbacks on the rosters, the two teams may square off three times in 2011. No, part of the new collective bargaining agreement won’t include a third game against division opponents — […]
While linemen are arguably the most important people on the football field, fans love to watch impact players. Touchdowns, interceptions and jaw dropping hits are what drive ratings and jersey sales. Everyone wants an impact player and in Patrick Peterson, the Cardinals seem to have one. In an ESPN blog about the future stars of […]
Larry Fitzgerald is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, but the Arizona Cardinals can not let his status as a free agent after the season influence what they decide to do with the quarterback position. It is a huge mistake for an organization to base decisions around one player — just ask the […]
Darnell Dockett is a character. He tweets while being pulled over by the police, about his pet alligator and, well, anything else that’s on his mind. He’s funny, confusing and, sometimes, frustrating. But he’s not James Harrison. Harrison, of course, is the Steelers linebacker who, among other things, voiced his displeasure for NFL Commissioner Roger […]
While media and fans may love Darnell Dockett and his new pet alligator “Nino,” PETA does not feel the same. The pro-animal organization sent Dockett a letter acknowledging that he had purchased the alligator and telling him to get rid of it. Dear Mr. Dockett, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was alerted […]
While it may appear that the NFL lockout could be nearing its end, the Cardinals’ Jay Feely isn’t quite so sure. The team’s player representative for the player’s association, according to AZCardinals.com, told ESPN’s Sportscenter, “I do not think (a resolution) is as close as some people make it out to be.” That’s probably not […]
Although they cannot participate in football related activities due to the NFL lockout, a few current and former Cardinals will get together to golf. Joey Porter, Ken Whisenhunt, Steve Buerlein, Chris Chandler and Jim McMahon will all take part in the 2011 American Centurty Championship celebrity golf tournament July 14-17. Porter will play in the […]
Each year the NFL Draft comes and goes, and by the time every selection is made fans and analysts alike go over the picks and determine who did the best job. One factor everyone looks at is who got the biggest “steals” of the draft. You know, players who fell in the draft, only to […]
When the Arizona Cardinals selected LSU’s Patrick Peterson with the number five overall selection in the 2011 NFL Draft, they got themselves a player with as much potential as anyone in the draft. At 6 feet and 219 pounds, Peterson has the size to match up with the best WRs in the game. And with […]
Well, the Bidwill family certainly isn’t allowed to cry poor anymore. According to Forbes, the Arizona Cardinals are the 30th most valuable sports franchise — in the world. Valued at $919 million, the team’s recent success has to have played a role. Combine that with a stadium that is not even five-years-old, and the team […]
It takes a bad team to win just five games in a season, and bad teams are not usually filled with good players. So, it should really come as no surprise that the Cardinals, according to Grantland.com, had two of the 25 least valuable players in the NFL last season. Coming in at number 12 […]
The NFC West is still one of the weakest divisions in football, and the Cardinals could be a QB away from returning to the top. “Yes, I will give up a first round pick for Kevin Kolb,” Doug Franz said on Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug and Wolf show Tuesday. “Because I think the division’s so […]
Many people around the NFL and in media would like you to believe that the Houston Texans’ Andre Johnson is the best receiver in the NFL. The statistics would indicate otherwise. According to the statistical wizards over at ProFootballFocus.com, the Arizona Cardinals’ Larry Fitzgerald just barely beat out Johnson for the top spot among wideouts […]
If the Cardinals were a single guy at the bar, Kevin Kolb would appear to be the lady they are eyeing from across the way. At least, that seems to be the case, as the Arizona Republic’s Kent Somers, on Weisman Trophy show, said the Cardinals are “very attracted” to the Eagles QB. “I think […]
Rumors and speculation about Kyle Orton being traded may have run rampant for a majority of the lockout but there had been very little credible information to suggest the Broncos would actually pull the trigger on a deal. That is, until now. Denver Post Broncos beat writer Mike Klis, who by all accounts is very […]
When the NFL lockout ends the Cardinals will officially begin the search for their next QB. Where will it lead them? Well, if Dan Arkush of Pro Football Weekly has his way, it would be straight to Kyle Orton. Truth be told, Orton has been lost in the shuffle for whatever reasons much of his […]
Kurt Warner retired from the NFL less than two weeks after he and the Cardinals were eliminated by the New Orleans Saints in the 2010 NFL Playoffs. It was largely believed he hung up his cleats because, after 12 NFL seasons, the 38-year-old wanted to spend more time with his family. At least, those were […]
Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart still believes he can contribute in the National Football League. The current free-agent has been called a bust, a title that seems fair at this point, plenty of times. In his six-year career the QB has thrown just 14 touchdowns while being picked off 20 times. Still, the former […]
Ask any fan of the Arizona Cardinals about their team’s most pressing need and you will almost always get the same answer, quarterback. While signal caller may be the team’s most obvious hole right now, others argue that resigning wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald may be of bigger concern for the future. The Pro-Bowler is not […]
PHOENIX – The talk surrounding the Arizona Cardinals pursuit of Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb has centered around what players such as Daryl Washington or Dominique Rodgers Cromartie or draft picks it would require to pry the Philly signal-caller to the desert. However, a new possibility has emerged that could make more sense for both teams […]
With all the talk and speculation about who will line up under center for the Arizona Cardinals in 2011 — if there is an NFL in 2011 — we decided it was time for someone to simplify the entire process. With that in mind we put together our QB Stock Watch where you can find […]
Kyle Orton is on the move. While Orton has not been traded — yet –, neighbors say he moved out of the house he was leasing in Denver which could mean one of two things. Either Orton believes he will be the starting quarterback in Denver and he is looking for a new permanent home […]
Kevin Kolb has been at the center of all Arizona Cardinals quarterback discussions, but some believe Kyle Orton may be the right guy for the job. “I want Orton,” Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug Franz said on Doug and Wolf. “I want Orton based on the price. If I have to give up a first round […]
Larry Fitzgerald is good and everybody knows it. In fact, he is so good he was named the best player in the NFC West. Fitzgerald is obviously the best receiver in the division and arguably the league, but to be the best overall player in a division is special. The NFL is a quarterback driven […]
When selling real estate it’s all about ‘curb appeal’, a strategy where you make your property look as interesting as possible to potential buyers who pass by. It sounds like the Arizona Cardinals are taking a similar approach in their attempt to land a new quarterback. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt, as a guest on ESPN […]
Rookies are often drafted to help a team in the future, however Cardinals first round draft pick Patrick Peterson is expected to make an impact now. Not only is Peterson expected to start, but he will also have a significant role in a Cardinals’ secondary that is trying to improve upon the 228 yards per […]
The quarterback dilemma of the Arizona Cardinals has been highly reported, yet that is not the only area of concern. ESPN’s Mel Kiper acknowledges the Cardinals need a quarterback, yet he also realizes that this team has other, less focused upon needs. “I think the biggest, most obvious area of concern is what the Cardinals […]
PHOENIX – While the world waits for the NFL lockout to be over so the Arizona Cardinals can ratchet up their pursuit of Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb, a former Cardinals player has thrown a new name and quarterback the team should look into acquiring before Kolb. Former Cardinals defensive lineman Bertrand Berry believes Titans quarterback […]
