The Arizona Cardinals’ 2019 NFL Draft class is full of offensive players expected to change scoreboards in the desert. Kyler Murray, Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler, and KeeSean Johnson created a class inspired by Kliff Kingsbury’s offense. In the preseason, all of them will be worth watching meticulously, but a defensive player stands out, in my […]

Arizona Cardinals receiver Kevin White has had a tough road so far in the NFL. Supremely talented coming out of college, he hasn’t been able to stay healthy in the pros. The Bears bet big on White’s upside when they drafted him seventh overall out of West Virginia back in 2015, and it blew up […]

For a while on Monday, it looked like Michael Crabtree was joining the Arizona Cardinals. Then it was reported that he was leaving the desert without a deal.

The Arizona Cardinals debuted their first unofficial depth chart for the 2019 season earlier this week. As expected, quarterback Kyler Murray is listed as a starter.

There were memes floating around when the Arizona Cardinals were reported to have signed Michael Crabtree in free agency.

Despite the questions, Murray is a big-time talent and […]

The Arizona Cardinals continue to rebuild their wide receiver room. According to Pro Football Talk, the team is signing veteran Michael Crabtree.

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. It also means we get pixelated portrayals of players and coaches, and not everybody is too pleased with how they’re looking in the video game. The […]

Despite the presence of veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, the Arizona Cardinals are not expected to compete at a very high level in 2019. However, Fitzgerald will have the chance to mentor soon-to-be rookie quarterback Kyler Murray, who was recently selected by the Cardinals at No. 1 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft out of […]

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.

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 […]

Kyler Murray isn’t used to losing. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner led the Oklahoma Sooners to a 12-2 record and an appearance in the College Football Playoff during his lone season as a starter. He won 43 consecutive games and three straight state championships at Texas’ Allen High School. Needless to say, Murray is probably […]

The differences don’t end at coach and signal-caller; as they drafted 11 players, got a deep […]

Only one team made a pick in last week’s supplemental draft, and it was the Arizona Cardinals taking Washington State safety Jalen Thompson.
