Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim expressed strong confidence in his new head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

After much experimentation, the Arizona Cardinals finally found their potential franchise quarterback in Kyler Murray. As the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Murray is well aware of the expectations that come with being tasked of turning a franchise around. The Cardinals have made quite the investment under center which ultimately culminated […]

Being a No. 1 pick comes with pressure. Being a quarterback adds to that and going to a team that got a coach that fits their game style and traded their first-round quarterback from the year before makes it overwhelming. That is what Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be feeling entering his rookie year. […]

Kliff Kingsbury knows that the arrival of Madden NFL 20 has football and gaming fans giddy to try new players on teams and let loose on the virtual gridiron.

Despite the presence of veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, the Arizona Cardinals are not expected to compete at a very high level in 2019.

Robert Nkemdiche, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals and a 2016 first-round draft pick, hasn’t had the career he hoped for.

Now, […]

Kyler Murray, the Arizona Cardinals’ No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, has yet to have a locker assigned to him in training camp.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson will miss the first six games of the 2019 campaign as a result of a six-game suspension handed down by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, but that won’t stop him from playing in the preseason. While Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that it “remains […]

Some rookie head coaches might feel compelled to establish a rapport with their team before publicly calling out an incumbent for his apparent lack of fitness.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has been around for a long time in the NFL, so his experience and expertise can come in handy on many things.

The Arizona Cardinals’ decision to hire Kliff Kingsbury as their new head coach earlier this offseason came across as a puzzling move to some, as Kingsbury did not exactly have the greatest track record as a college coach. Kingsbury spent six years as the head coach of Texas Tech, going 35-40 with a 1-2 record […]

The Arizona Cardinals tried to deflect. Both rookie coach Kliff Kingsbury and general manager Steve Keim insisted time and again throughout the pre-draft process that Josh Rosen was their team’s quarterback of the present and future. Regardless, no one was surprised when the No. 10 overall pick of last year’s draft was traded to the […]

Via that quarterback swap, […]
