Uh oh. The Arizona Cardinals are frantically trying to cram a full off-season into just a few short weeks and could now be faced with replacing a key defensive player.

Ask almost any Cardinals fan and they’ll tell you the team has not run a successful screen pass since, well, ever.

According to the Arizona Republic’s Kent Somers, there are two names they are considering. Cardinals remain interested in Braylon. Not going to get into […]
Patrick Peterson wasn’t just a great cornerback at LSU, he also was a fantastic punt returner.

Wednesday wasn’t exactly the type of debut Kevin Towers and the Arizona Diamondbacks hoped for from the newest members of their pitching staff. Jason Marquis and Brad Ziegler both struggled as they combined to give up seven earned runs. That doesn’t concern Ron Wolfley. He told listeners of Doug and Wolf Wednesday morning that both […]
The Cardinals traded for Kevin Kolb, so you’d have to believe they’re confident in his abilities.
