Prospect linked to the Cardinals may have a flaw

The Arizona Cardinals own one of the prized draft spots in the entire draft, which will begin Round 1 on Thursday night in Prime Time.

An All-Offense Cardinals draft: What if?

The Arizona Cardinals decided that an offensive-minded coach was in order going forward and hired Mike LaFleur away from the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams and San Francisco 49ers are known for their offensive efforts, and now, that strategy and scheme is going to be part of the Cardinals’ offense going forward. LaFleur is ready […]

Cardinals Rough Draft: QB Cole Payton

The Arizona Cardinals may or may not need to bring in and develop a young quarterback. Or perhaps, they may wait until next year’s college draft. This year’s crop is top-heavy, and then it is a quagmire of developmental guys. Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort may not want to develop a young signalcaller, and instead draft […]

Cardinals Rough Draft: S Michael Taaffe

The Arizona Cardinals are in need of another safety. Jalen Thompson unfortunately left in free agency and the team signed Andrew Wingard away from the Philadelphia Eagles. But every defensive backfield needs three capable safeties. Currently in the safety room are Pro Bowler Budda Baker, Kitan Crawford, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, and Joey Blount. RELATED: SAFETY BUD […]

Cardinals Rough Draft: S Bud Clark

What is the status of the Arizona Cardinals’ safety room? Budda Baker is one of the league’s best. His partner in crime was Jalen Thompson, who played well but was on the free agent list and found a new home very quickly. So far in free agency, the franchise inked Andrew Wingard from the Philadelphia […]

Jacoby Brissett not attending offseason workouts, wants new contract

The Arizona Cardinals offseason is going swimmingly, in the sense that they are drowning. After moving on from the head coach, quarterback, but somehow retaining the GM and defensive coordinator, they also seemingly were going to stay with the quarterback who led them to that 1-11 finish after the starter was “lost to injury”. Well, […]

Arizona Cardinals pick up fifth-year option on Paris Johnson Jr.

The Arizona Cardinals have done the expected, picked up the fifth-year option on their left tackle, Paris Johnson Jr. From Mike Garafolo: PJJ has been the one staple along with Hjalte Froholdt along the offensive line since the beginning of the Monti Ossenfort era, the issue for Paris has not been his play, but instead […]

Cardinals Rough Draft: EDGE Derrick Moore

The Arizona Cardinals could use another stud at the opposite side of Josh Sweat. What would occur if both sides exploded off the snap? As you look at Arizona’s “shopping list” compared to what will be available in Round 3, it is extremely possible the Cardinals take an EDGE rusher at pick #65 to satisfy […]

Cardinals Rough Draft: OT Caleb Lomu

What a good offseason the Arizona Cardinals have had this year. At season’s end, the offensive line was viewed as a dumpster fire. Both guard spots had huge issues, along with OT Kelvin Beachum. So, GM Monti Ossenfort rolled up his sleeves, opened the checkbook, and signed some seasoned veterans. He brought in the best […]

Cardinals Rough Draft: S Caleb Downs

The Arizona Cardinals want to change their defense going into 2026. Lack of good tackling was an issue last year. So was the run defense and pass coverage of tight ends from the linebackers.

Cardinals Rough Draft: C Parker Brailsford

The Arizona Cardinals don’t center a new center. Veteran Hjalte Froholdt is doing a great job, and the franchise isn’t looking to replace players who are doing their job. Day 3 guys usually are earmarked for backup spots. Lord knows that the offensive line will go through a lot of bodies each season. And so, […]

Cardinals Rough Draft: WR Tyren Montgomery

What is the status of the Arizona Cardinals’ receiver room? GM Monti Ossenfort has done a great job at supplying this group with talent. And yet, players get hurt, and suddenly the situation becomes dire, and backups become the norm. As long as Michael Wilson and Marv Harrison can remain vertical, the receiver group is […]

Cardinals 2026 draft: Small-school running back prospects

The Arizona Cardinals had the worst luck with running backs last season. Both starters ended up on IR, and the backups and practice squad guys ended up leading the way down the stretch.
