The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly demanding a high Day‑2 draft pick for veteran pass rusher Josh Sweat, who requested a trade after head coach Jonathan Gannon was fired. Sweat, under contract through 2028, posted 12 sacks in 2025 but has only two through seven games this season. Teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers are linked to a potential deal. Trading him could net valuable draft capital, yet would leave Arizona short on pass‑rush production.
The Arizona Cardinals’ season is taking shape as many expected. A measly 2-5 start leaves Arizona sitting at the bottom of the NFC West. Entering 2026, Arizona had the toughest schedule, but their dysfunctional performances have left fans with no hope. Arizona must love playing against the city of Los Angeles. The Cardinals secured an […]

The Daily Norseman breaks down the broadcast coverage map for this Sunday’s NFC North showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. Most of the northern U.S., parts of New England, and even Alaska will see the game on FOX, highlighted in red, with the network pitching it as the week’s top matchup by assigning its #1 crew—Kevin Burkhardt and former quarterback Tom Brady.

Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits the Arizona Cardinals against the Dallas Cowboys, highlighting a -6.5 spread and a 30.5 implied total. The Cowboys lead the league with 6.9 plays per possession and convert 74.1% of red‑zone trips to touchdowns, while Arizona struggles, ranking last in passing yards allowed (8.5 per attempt) and red‑zone efficiency (42.9%).

The data‑rich worksheet includes detailed drive, play‑type and efficiency metrics for both teams.
Maxx Crosby cannot keep carrying the Las Vegas Raiders’ pass rush alone. If opposing offenses can neutralize him by throwing extra blockers his way, the Raiders need someone capable of making them pay.

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense, though imperfect, limits the Philadelphia Eagles to 21 points in a 28-21 victory on Oct. 28, 2026. After surrendering two early touchdowns, the unit tightens up, forcing three punts and a crucial interception by DeMarvion Overshown. Key contributors include Overshown (six tackles, one pick), Shemar James (tied for team‑lead in tackles), Quinnen Williams (three TFLs, one sack) and Donovan Ezeiruaku (first full sack). Advanced metrics show the Cowboys posting their best -0.05 EPA/play allowed this season, while the Eagles struggle with a 38.7% success rate. The defense earns a C grade and the Cowboys look ahead to a matchup with the Cardinals.
The Philadelphia Eagles need a jolt, and that’s saying something. Now, few moves would send a stronger message than bringing Josh Sweat back to the City of Brotherly Love. At 2-5, Philadelphia is watching its season unravel. Injuries, defensive breakdowns, and mounting losses are threatening to turn a championship-caliber roster into a cautionary tale. General […]

Bleacher Report analyst Alex Kay says the Buffalo Bills could shock the league by acquiring Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker before the trade deadline. Baker, a 30‑year‑old eight‑time Pro Bowler and four‑time All‑Pro on a $54 million contract, would address Buffalo’s porous secondary, which ranks 30th in scoring defense and allows the league’s second‑most passing yards per game. Kay proposes Buffalo send a 2027 third‑round pick, though the Cardinals may demand more to offset Baker’s $20.9 million 2027 cap hit. The trade would also free up $3 million in dead money for Arizona.
Jerry Jones praises the Cowboys’ running attack after Javonte Williams rushed for over 150 yards against the Eagles—the first 150‑yard game by a Dallas back since 2016. Jones says a run‑first approach opens up the playbook and gets Dak Prescott under center more often. Coach Brian Schottenheimer brushes off media criticism, while rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. describes his “surreal” start in Dallas. Jones also hints that Hall of Famer Troy Aikman could assume a front‑office role. Ahead of Week 8, the Cowboys face a Cardinals run defense that may improve with Jeremiah Love’s return.
The Arizona Cardinals, after trading Marv Harrison and placing Jalen Brooks on IR, held workouts for four receivers and a quarterback. They signed veteran wideout Zay Jones, who previously logged 20 catches for 267 yards in 19 games with the team and suffered a season‑ending Achilles tear in 2025. The other participants were QB Jack Plummer, who led the UFL in passing, and receivers James Proche, Xavier Guilloy and Ronnie Bell, all fringe NFL players. With Simi Fehoko stepping into Brooks’ spot, the Cardinals now have a reshaped receiving corps that includes rookie Reggie Virgil and returner Devin Duvernay.
49ers 49ers DE Nick Bosa hoped to return from a calf strain by Week 6 but still hasn’t. Niners HC Kyle Shanahan said Bosa was too optimistic and ended up sore ahead of Week 7. ”I just think he was a little too optimistic, especially for Bosa because he’s pretty accurate,” Shanahan said, via NinersWire.com.

In Week 8, the Dallas Cowboys aim to extend their first recent winning streak under head coach Brian Schottenheimer by taking on a historically dominant Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium. Dallas comes off a Monday night victory over the Eagles, while Arizona is reeling from a loss to the Broncos and poor home attendance despite Larry Fitzgerald’s Hall‑of‑Fame celebration. The Cowboys lead the all‑time series 1‑8 since 2008 and will rely on Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and a bolstered defense featuring Joey Porter Jr. and Christian Parker. A trade rumor linking the Cowboys to Cardinals pass rusher Josh Sweat adds intrigue to the matchup.
During Denver’s 30‑16 win over Arizona on Oct. 24, longtime Broncos broadcaster Dave Logan highlighted an unprecedented sea of orange in State Farm Stadium’s lower bowl, noting it was the most visiting‑team fan presence he’s ever seen. The sight underscores the Cardinals’ 10‑game home losing streak, even as the franchise honored Larry Fitzgerald with a Hall of Fame ring, Ring of Honor induction, and jersey retirement. The overwhelming Broncos fan turnout raises questions for Arizona ownership about rebuilding fan confidence and restoring a true home atmosphere.
The Arizona Cardinals are bringing back a familiar face to help address their wide receiver problems. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Arizona is signing veteran wide receiver Zay Jones after spending the 2024 and 2025 seasons with the team. Jones returns with more than 300 career receptions, nearly 3,300 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns. […]

The Dallas Cowboys released running back Emari Demercado and tight end D.J. Rogers on Oct. 27, 2026, a day after a 38-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles that lifted the team to 3-4. Demercado, waived twice this month, had been inactive for the Eagles game and logged only five carries for 15 yards in two appearances. He originally joined Dallas from the Chiefs after final cuts on Aug. 30 and was expected to contribute on special teams under offensive coordinator Klayton Adams. Rogers, an undrafted TCU rookie, never played a regular‑season snap and was on injured reserve following an MCL sprain. The moves come as Dallas battles injuries at linebacker and safety ahead of its Sunday matchup with Arizona.

The Arizona Cardinals place fourth‑year wideout Jalen Brooks on injured reserve after a season‑ending injury, ending his 81‑yard, five‑reception campaign. On the same day, the team re‑signs offensive lineman Austin Deculus (#75) and safety Wydett Williams Jr. (#31) to the practice squad while releasing safety Jerrick Reed II. The moves were announced at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe.
The Arizona Cardinals have reached the red zone seven times in their last two games but scored only one touchdown, prompting head coach Mike LaFleur to defend starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett. While fans advocate for rookie Carson Beck, LaFleur says the fix may be simpler: returning first‑round running back Jeremiyah Love from a left‑ankle injury. Love’s presence boosted the offense to 25 points per game, compared with just 16 in his absence, and could restore a balanced attack ahead of the Week 8 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Arizona Cardinals sit at 2-5, sparking fan frustration over a defense that's worse than expected and an offense that hasn't improved despite Jacoby Brissett's 21 PPG (12 games) and 20.3 PPG (7 games) under coaches Drew Petzing and Mike LaFleur. SB Nation Reacts asks whether the team should abandon Brissett now and give rookie quarterback Carson Beck his first start, seeking fan confidence in the franchise's direction.
The Dallas Cowboys snap a slump with a Monday Night Football win over the Philadelphia Eagles, improving to 3‑4 and staying within striking distance of the NFC East lead. Their next five games feature a soft schedule—Cardinals (2‑5), Colts (2‑5), 49ers (6‑1), Titans (1‑6) and a rematch with the Eagles—leaving only one tough opponent. Yet doubts linger: the Cowboys have lost eight of the last nine matchups against Arizona, and they remain a work‑in‑progress that can lose to anyone. The article polls fans on whether Dallas can string together victories or fall prey to the Cardinals’ “curse.”
A new report dampens hopes for the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals as they hunt a franchise quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft. Both clubs sit 2-5 after seven weeks, with veteran Geno Smith and Jacoby Brissett likely on their way out. Although the 2027 QB class was projected as talent‑rich—featuring Arch Manning, Dante Moore, CJ Carr, Darian Mensah and Trinidad Chambliss—scouts now flag serious flaws, even praising a former walk‑on, Drew Mestemaker, as a top prospect. NFL executives warn the class’s overall value is declining, meaning the Jets, especially without a top‑three pick, may face a disappointing rookie QB. The article explores the implications for both franchises.
After a severe concussion ended Dante Moore’s Oregon Ducks career, the former top‑five 2026 draft prospect now eyes the 2027 NFL Draft. Sportsnaut breaks down his five best landing spots, highlighting the Cleveland Browns as the top choice—thanks to a quarterback‑friendly scheme, emerging weapons like KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, and two 2027 first‑round picks that could be used to trade up. The New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons, and Arizona Cardinals also make the list, each offering strong offensive pieces and draft capital. Moore, now projected as a top‑20 pick, could reshape any of these franchises with his arm talent.
