Braylon Edwards will be in the NFC West this season. He just won’t be a member of the Arizona Cardinals. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Edwards will be calling San Francisco home in 2011. Filed to ESPN: Free agent WR Braylon Edwards and the San Francisco 49ers reached agreement on a 1-year, $3.5 million deal.less […]
The Arizona Cardinals made a lot of moves once the lockout was lifted, most of which have been well received by pretty much anyone who follows football. And really, how could they not be? Adding Kevin Kolb, Todd Heap, Daryn Colledge, among others, showed the Cardinals were ready and willing to spend money in order […]
The Arizona Cardinals have over $14.6 million to spend and a hole at wide receiver left to fill. The question is, which wide receiver will they try to fill it with? 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. While he got the chance to field punts on Saturdays, with a multi-million dollar contract and a defense relying on his cover skills, some wondered if he’d be a part of the Cardinals return game on Sundays in 2011. […]
Fans anxious to see Kevin Kolb play in a Cardinals jersey won’t have to wait long, according to head coach Ken Whisenhunt. “He’ll play some in the first preseason game,” the coach said of his QB, who will have roughly a week of true practice time under his belt before next Thursday’s game in Oakland. […]
On Wednesday Ken Whisenhunt named Beanie Wells the Cardinals starting running back. While the move didn’t come as a huge surprise to most, seeing as Wells’ main competition the last few years, Tim Hightower, was traded to Washington over the weekend, it sounds like the Ohio State product has earned the job with his work […]
Kevin Kolb knows there is pressure. He knows there are doubters and he knows there are some who think the Cardinals overpaid to get a guy who hasn’t proven anything in the NFL. It doesn’t matter. “There’s always a little bit of pressure,” he said. “I know that, I’m not naive enough not to think […]
Coming to a new team and having to learn a different offense can be a daunting task. Doing it all in a span of a couple weeks, without being allowed to practice during one of them? That can be downright impossible. But, as Kevin Kolb told Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug and Wolf Thursday, one of […]
Kevin Kolb hasn’t even been allowed to practice with the Arizona Cardinals, but that hasn’t stopped national media members from speculating just how well he’ll do with his new team. Sports Illustrated’s Peter King was on with ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd Thursday and shared his thoughts “Kolb will go through some growing pains, some chemistry […]
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. But, listen to offensive coordinator Mike Miller enough and even the biggest Kolb doubters may become believers. “The thing I always look for first is poise,” Miller told Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug and Wolf Thursday. “I want to see […]
Normally NFL players would be roughly a week into training camp, possibly already getting tired of monotonous practices. This year is different, though, as players who are with new teams have not been allowed to practice. While that is not a good thing, especially for a team with new players who figure to play key […]
PHOENIX – With the whirlwind of free agency and trades the past few days, most have started to forget that the NFL is coming out of a lockout. Not so fast. The Pittsburgh Steelers players rep Ryan Clark was quoted in a tweet by Ed Bouchette that he “doubts the CBA will be ratified in […]
The Arizona Cardinals would like to sign free agent receiver Braylon Edwards, there’s just one problem: They still have to sign Larry Fitzgerald to a contract extension. According to Sports 620 KTAR’s John Gambadoro, the Cardinals do not want to risk losing their star receiver, and because of that are reluctant to pay Edwards the […]
After every Arizona Diamondbacks game we’ll examine the box score and provide you with instant analysis. So it’s time to go Inside the Box for August 3, 2011: Giants 8, Diamondbacks 1 The Good: No one got injured? Alright, that was a little too sarcastic. There was actually somewhat of a bright spot for the […]
Another day, another new player. Vonnie Holliday, acquired in the deal that sent Tim Hightower to Washington, made his Cardinals debut Wednesday morning. Holliday was on the sideline watching practice even though he had practiced three times with the Redskins prior to the trade. A 14-year veteran, Holliday called the trade a “little bit of […]
The Arizona Cardinals have added quite a few new players over the last week, and they may not be done. According to sports agent JR Rickert, the Cardinals are one of five teams interested in Jordan Babineaux. Babineaux, 28, has played his entire seven year career in Seattle for the Seahawks, and has tallied 10 […]
The 2010 season for the Arizona Cardinals wasn’t exactly an easy one. Especially when it came to the quarterback position. The combination of Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson was supposed to lead the Cardinals back to the playoffs (and we all know how well that worked out). Apparently the duo was not only incapable of […]
Adrian Wilson knows he had a down year in 2010. Yes, he made the Pro Bowl, and his 88 tackles were more than he had in any of the previous four seasons, but he had troubles in coverage for a defense that struggled all season long. And he’s heard the criticism. “It’s very heartbreaking to […]
The Cardinals could still use another wide receiver, and Braylon Edwards is still available. A match made in heaven? It would appear so, and Cardinals Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt was asked by ESPN’s Colin Cowherd Wednesday if something may happen between the former Jet and the Cardinals. “We’re still looking at all opportunities out there […]
The Arizona Cardinals new defensive coordinator Ray Horton may be known for the hard hits his squad will deliver, but he may soon be known for his softer side for a gift he delivered. On his way out of Pittsburgh the former Steelers assistant made it a point to take care of someone most in […]
Justin Upton has not gone a game without a hit since July 18th, when he went 0-4 in a win over Milwaukee. Since then he’s gone 24-55, with seven home runs and 21 RBI. Oh, and the Diamondbacks have gone 9-5 over that stretch, pulling into a first place tie with the Giants in the […]
The Arizona Cardinals have filled a lot of holes over the last week but there is still a glaring one left. With the loss of Steve Breaston to the Kansas City Chiefs the team is still in search of a No. 2 wide receiver. While most of the talk has surrounded former Jets wide receiver […]
Sure, there may be question marks surrounding Kevin Kolb’s ability to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. However, there weren’t any in Philadelphia, and ESPN’s Mark Schlereth says that’s a good reason to have faith in the Cardinals’ new signal caller. “[The Eagles] were willing to go into a season, give Kevin Kolb a […]
For years the name Bidwill wasn’t exactly music to Cardinals fans ears. While the team seems to be changing their ways on the field and in negotiations with players off it, the team’s supporters haven’t changed their stance when it comes to ownership. It’s something that Sports 620 KTAR’s Ron Wolfley thinks is long overdue. […]
August 3rd, 2011. The Arizona Diamondbacks, with 110 games in the books, are tied for first place in the NL West. A division title, and the playoff birth that comes with it, is a real possibility. Then again, so is the NL Wild Card. “Even though we should keep all of our eyes focused on […]
PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks were busy at the MLB trade deadline acquiring starter Jason Marquis from the Washington Nationals and reliever Brad Ziegler from the Oakland Athletics. One ESPN insider believes the acquisition of Marquis helps improve the team’s rotation. “I’ve seen him pitch a whole bunch of times this year in Washington and […]
PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks are tied for first place in the NL West, so logic would dictate that now isn’t the best time to call up a young kid like Paul Goldschmidt from the minors and throw him right into the middle of a stretch run. Right? “Why not? We brought him up to […]
After every Arizona Diamondbacks game we’ll examine the box score and provide you with instant analysis. So it’s time to go Inside the Box for August 2, 2011: Diamondbacks 6, Giants 1 The Good: Paul Goldschmidt will always remember this game for the rest of his life. The D-backs recent call-up hit his first career […]
That the Arizona Cardinals had some issues with the quarterback position last season is no secret. So, it should come as no surprise that the addition of Kevin Kolb is being looked at as the most important move of the off-season. At least, that’s what kicker Jay Feely thinks. “When you can get a guy […]
