The Detroit Lions defense has suffered yet another free agency loss. Per Ian Rapoport, defensive tackle Roy Lopez is headed back to the Arizona Cardinals on a two-year, $11.5 million deal. NFL Network is reporting the deal includes $7 million guaranteed. That’s a tough loss for the Lions, as Lopez proved to be a good […]
The answer to the question of who the Arizona Cardinals will bring in to be their new quarterback is… Gardner Minshew II. At least to compete with Jacoby Brissett. From Ian Rapoport: Minshew is another journeyman quarterback in a long line of Arizona Cardinals journeyman quarterbacks. Minshew’s last stop was with the Kansas City Chiefs […]
In the wake of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker heading to the Kansas City Chiefs, hopes were high that the Seattle Seahawks might turn to running back Tyler Allgeier. Perception has largely been that Walker, Allgeier, and Travis Etienne are the three best running backs available this offseason. Allgeier had been part of arguably the […]
Unless something changes, Malik Willis is not going to be the next Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback. Despite working to clear cap space, talking about being aggressive and needing to turn things around quickly, the top free agent quarterback on the market is now a Miami Dolphin. It is a smaller deal than expected, but still […]
It’s a well-known fact that the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line needs help. Start with the guard position, then move to tackle. Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort is about to dive into free agency. A player here and there can change the sad situation along the offensive line. If Ossenfort can ink a good guard and then […]

Caveat Emptor: Your venerable Cardinal chronicler takes no responsibility if what you read makes zero sense, nor for any of the typos which may be contained herein. My fingers have the hippy hippy shakes. I have skipped a light fandango, turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor to get to my keyboard. I am exhausted. I am […]
As the Cleveland Browns continue to assess their quarterback room, another interesting option has entered the mix. The Arizona Cardinals announced that they would be releasing Kyler Murray at the start of the league year. Many teams are in the market for a bridge quarterback and may be interested in Murray, including the Browns. A […]
Coming out of high school, college prospects are allowed five official visits with colleges. With the NFL, teams are allowed 30, commonly referred to as “30 visits.” This is where the club will bring in a kid, show him around the facility, have him meet coaches, scouts, front office personnel, the GM, and usually the […]
In 2015, the Arizona Cardinals under head coach Bruce Arians went 13-3-0 and captured the NFC West Division title. After an embarrassing 49-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship Game, it was determined that the defense needed some extra care. So, with the 29th pick in the 2016 NFL draft, Arizona selected […]
According to Pro Football Focus, Arizona Cardinals nose tackle Dalvin Tomlinson was the 11th-most-played nose tackle in the sport in 2025. The only 2026 free agent who played more snaps than him at the position last year was former Detroit Lions DJ Reader, for reference. On Friday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Tomlinson, who […]
Another one of the big signings for Monti Ossenfort is one and done. The Arizona Cardinals are releasing Dalvin Tomlinson: Tomlinson was supposed to be an integral piece in an improving defense, and instead was basically a non-factor eating up cap space. Moving on after one season makes sense, because you need to show some […]

According to SI.com’s Albert Breer, Arizona Cardinals former Pro Bowl starting quarterback Kyler Murray, who’s expected to be released shortly, has interest in joining the Indianapolis Colts: “The obvious one, as we said earlier, is Minnesota,” writes Breer when asked which top NFL teams are interested in Murray. “Who else? Well, the Jets could potentially […]
The Arizona Cardinals had the worst luck of any NFL club this past season with their running back room. First, it was starter James Conner who went down in Week 3 in a key matchup with the San Francisco 49ers with a foot injury. That required surgery and placed Conner on season-ending IR. RELATED: FREE […]

The Arizona Cardinals have a ton of question to answer, but one thing we know that will be happening with the Mike LaFleur era will be some joint practices. Of course, the hilarity of the joint practices for a first time head coach is that he will be doing those practices with his brother, Matt […]
Well, we have all heard it. We have even read about it. We have seen it in the headlines on every Arizona Cardinals podcast. And each one of us has our own opinions and thoughts.

The Cardinals are parting ways with Kyler Murray after seven years, while the Dolphins are doing […]
The offseason is almost in full swing, and while good teams like the Los Angeles Rams go all-in on things, for better or worse, the Arizona Cardinals are… Well they may or may not get to things.

Cardinals News So… is Jacoby Brissett Arizona’s Starting Quarterback now?
