Should Moss be growing on the Cardinals coaches?

The Arizona Cardinals missed out on signing both Braylon Edwards and Malcolm Floyd, but there is still a dynamic playmaker without a team. And, former Cardinal-turned-NFL Network-analyst Kurt Warner says the team should go get him. “I still think there’s something in the tank for Randy,” Warner said. “The one thing that you know is […]

Cardinals fixed their defense by adding a quarterback

So, one of the priorities in the off-season was to improve on that side of the ball, and it appears they have. Adding Ray Horton as defensive coordinator was a start, and bringing in players like Patrick […]
