While Kevin Kolb looks for a house and attempts to gain familiarity with the Phoenix area, it appears he has already gained familiarity with the Cardinals star wide receiver. According to foxsportsarizona.com, Kolb and Larry Fitzgerald organized a private throwing session on the campus of Arizona State University earlier this month. Aware of the media […]
Not every Cardinal free agent is free to just choose his next team. Some are restricted, meaning the Cardinals can match any offer they sign with another squad. Receiver Early Doucet is one such player, and he presents one of the more interesting decisions for the Cardinals to make. Re-up: Taken in the third round […]
Defense and the Phoenix Suns are words not often said in the same sentence. The Suns are known for their fast paced offense and have relied on their ability to outscore teams rather than defend them and win low scoring games. While the Suns may be fun to watch, this style of play is not […]
Despite the devastating season-ending injury to shortstop Stephen Drew, the Arizona Diamondbacks are not changing their trade deadline philosophy. The D-backs are six games over .500 and only four-and-a-half games back of the San Francisco Giants, yet the injury to Drew does not alter the way the team approaches the July 31 deadline. “We were […]
As the lockout nears an end, the Kevin Kolb era in Arizona appears to be nearing a beginning. While Kolb is still a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cardinals appear to be the favorites to acquire the quarterback. NFL experts and analysts think Kolb is coming to the Valley and it appears the quarterback […]
In 2009, Lute Olson retired from coaching and probably expected to step out of the limelight. While that may have happened for a couple of brief years, the former University of Arizona head basketball coach is back in the news for all the wrong reasons. Olson was named as one of many Division I coaches […]
As soon as the NFL lockout ends, rosters across the league will go through rapid changes. Trades will be made, players will be cut and free agents will be signed all in a very short time frame. It will be fast, confusing, chaotic and significant. While most of the Cardinals offseason talk has been focused […]
The player most mentioned in relation to a Kevin Kolb trade is Arizona Cardinals cornerback Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie. The key to the decision is for coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves to figure out who is the real DRC (insert corny Eminem joke here). You throw 2008 out the window. A rookie cornerback is […]
PHOENIX – ASU starting quarterback Brock Osweiler isn’t backing down from recent comments he made about the Sun Devils striving to make it to the Sugar Bowl and compete for a National Championship this season. “We have very high expectations. I did say the Sugar Bowl and I still stand by that,” said Osweiler on […]

So it’s time to go Inside the Box for July 20, 2011: Brewers 5, Diamondbacks 2 The Good: Starter Joe Saunders gave Arizona a chance in this game as he went seven solid innings only giving up five hits […]
The Arizona Cardinals finished 31st in the NFL in total defense in 2010. That, and the fact that the team hasn’t been able to hand out playbooks to their players due to the lockout, hasn’t stopped their new defensive coordinator from having lofty goals for his squad. Ray Horton thinks the Cards defense won’t just […]
PHOENIX – With the decision being made today to send Bary Enright back to Triple-A, the Arizona Diamondbacks are once again looking for someone to be the team’s fifth starter. With Zach Duke and Micah Owings being the most likely candidates to fill the spot, manager Kirk Gibson isn’t ready to commit to anybody. “There’s […]
PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks continued revamping their pitching staff by making a flurry of moves on Wednesday. The team has selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Ryan Cook from Double-A Mobile and recalled right-handed pitcher Bryan Shaw from Triple-A Reno and outrighted pitcher Yhency Brazoban and optioned pitcher Barry Enright to Reno, according to […]
When the Arizona Cardinals drafted Patrick Peterson fifth overall the thought was he would pair with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to form one of the best defensive secondaries in the NFL. But that was before the Kolb for DRC rumors popped up. Now it seems there is a chance Peterson will not be playing with DRC, but […]
The biggest rumor surrounding the pursuit of Kevin Kolb is that the Cardinals are prepared to part with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in order to get him. Sports 620 KTAR’s Sports Interactive, though, does not think that is a good idea. So, they gave three reasons why it doesn’t seem likely to happen. “Argument number one,” Dave […]
The never-ending effort to improve the bullpen has led to another roster move for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks to send down Yhency Brazoban to make room for Ryan Cook. Brazoban had an ERA of 6.00less than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet ReplyJohn GambadoroGambo620 The 24-year-old Cook replaces Brazoban, who pitched in just six […]
It was once thought that while the Denver Broncos were looking to trade Kyle Orton, if they couldn’t get a good deal they’d be happy to keep him around to backup Tim Tebow. Think again. According to Pro Football talk, Orton is due almost $9 million in 2011, meaning he could be just a bit […]
The Coyotes and restricted free agent Lauri Korpikoski agreed to the terms of his new two-year contract about three minutes before his salary arbitration hearing was set to begin in Toronto on Wednesday morning. I’m told negotiations between the Coyotes, Korpikoski and Korpikoski’s agent, Larry Kelly, were rekindled at about 8:45 EDT and a deal […]
New uniforms, new conference, and now a new commercial. The ASU marketing department has been hard at work this offseason preparing a new advertising campaign that highlights the work Sun Devil football players put in behind the scenes. Everyone knows football players lift weights and go to practice as a team, but they also do […]
Ken Whisenhunt is not dumb. He hears all the rumors surrounding his team, especially the ones about which quarterback he’s going to get. However, as he told the Arizona Republic’s Kent Somers, he’s not sure where any of the speculation starts — especially the DRC for Kevin Kolb rumors. He did, though, say no one […]
The new NFL salary cap will mean that some teams will have to spend money and others will have to save money. While the Arizona Cardinals are $37.3 million under the salary cap, they may part ways with Joey Porter. According to ESPN.com’s John Clayton, Porter may be one of many “cap casualties” once the […]
Bryan Robinson joined the Cardinals before the 2008-09 season as a player who was expected to provide solid depth and veteran leadership. Three years later he is looking at free agency and the Cardinals have to make a decision. Re-up: Robinson has been everything the Cardinals expected him to be, and probably more. It’s been […]
Now that the San Francisco Giants have traded for Jeff Keppinger, the pressure to respond is on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Keppinger is not a big name player that will turn a division race upside down, but the Giants have a four-and-a-half game lead in the NL West and are showing their desire to improve. If […]
Just try and keep up with Larry Fitzgerald, right? From NFL defenders to members of the media, the frenetic Fitz always gets a step, maintaining a pace that keeps the Pro Bowler on a constant fly pattern. So, instead of getting beat, we got smart. “Hey, Larry, if you can’t sit down long enough for […]
The San Francisco Giants have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. The same can’t be said about the Arizona Diamondbacks. As divisional races heat up and the trade deadline approaches, the D-backs will look to improve their pitching staff in an attempt to close the four-and-a-half game gap between them and the division […]
Many think the acquisition of a serviceable quarterback will all but guarantee the Arizona Cardinals the NFC West crown. However, as NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks writes, that may not be the case. Although Kolb has shown potential he only has seven career NFL starts and has thrown more interceptions, 14, than touchdowns, 11. Upon coming to […]
Gabe Watson has had an up-and-down career with the Cardinals, and as a free agent it could come to an end once the lockout ends. Re-up: Watson is great at taking up space. At 6 foot 4 and 338 pounds, he’s tough to move off the ball and is pretty good when he’s in shape. […]

If the latest round of rumors is to believed, the Arizona Cardinals are ready to send cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to Philadelphia in exchange for quarterback Kevin Kolb. Surprisingly, though, it appears the Eagles may want more than just the defensive back if they are to part with their backup QB. “To me, I think Rodgers-Cromartie […]
