There's a new running back on the way to the desert.

Cardinals agree to terms with Chester Taylor. Flying into AZ tonight, says league source.less than a minute ago via TweetDeck Favorite Retweet Reply

Welcome to the Arizona Cardinals, Mr. Taylor.

According to Kent Somers, Taylor will arrive in Phoenix tonight and is believed to have accepted a one-year deal.

The former Chicago Bears running back is likely to become the Cardinals' third down and pass protection back.

Taylor was a great pickup for the Cardinals, who were in need of a running back after rookie Ryan Williams suffered a season-ending rupture to his patella tendon.

Taylor's experience will be a good compliment to Beanie Wells' youth. He has mentored other outstanding running backs in the NFL, including Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings and Matt Forte of the Bears, something that Wells would do well to take advantage of.

    Sorry Beanie
    If you need a mentor to get you motivated you have serious issues.

    Chester Taylor to AZ
    I've been a long time fan of Chester Taylor and if he still has gas in the tank, he will be a great addition to the backfield. He blocks - right. He catches passes - right. But just watch this guy run the ball hard. Only some personal problems have kept him from real stardom. Welcome Chester!

    Good Sign
    This is good. Every young player needs a mentor. This will be good, plus if Beanie goes down, we know Taylor can handle the full rushing load. Jarrod

    Here's a big FYI to Kevin Kolb
    You have 3 offensive receivers who can catch the ball on 3rd and long. My suggestion to Fitz: Use both of your hands to catch the ball. This isn't a year to try to look pretty. Your "yards-after-catch" ability is unbelievable. Very good job. Your yards and touchdowns after the catch ability is great. Between Fitz/Heap/Taylor you can get a TD on every red zone attempt. Too bad this roster move isn't updated for madden 12, yet. AND BEANIE IS RUNNING OVER LB'S LIKE HAWK. I'M EXTREMELY EXCITED TO SEE BEANIE RUN DOWN HILL. HE'S READY W/ A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER. I'm just saying...
