The Cardinals' receiving production was lopsided a season ago, as Hopkins had 786 more receiving yards than the second-leading receiver, Christian Kirk, which was the widest gulf in the NFL. Kirk, who is expected to move into the slot in 2021, is aiming for a more consistent season, and Green...

Murray still has improving left to do. He isn't quite as plug-and-play-at-a-high-level in his career as say, an Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. But he is getting closer. That's all Keim is looking for now – continued growth. Through two years, Murray's efforts to earn him NFL Offensive Rookie of...

Murphy is at a funny place in his career. The former second-round pick still resembles the youthful player that arrived in 2019, but the NFL moves fast, and he's now the cornerback with the most experience in Joseph's defense. "He's been the mainstay for three years," Joseph said. Rookie...

"I had Houston Texas season tickets for 5 years. Now that DeAndre Hopkins, and JJ Watt, two of our most beloved players are wearing red, every NFL fan loves them, I have renounced my allegiance to Houston, and am now with the Cardinals. Already sporting my JJ jersey. I can think one thing your...

"There is always that question when you're going in practice, going against our starting offensive line and you're like, 'Man I'm ready to be out there (on defense) and doing those things, maybe it's different on game day, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm overconfident,' " Gardeck said. "You see it...

For Juneteenth, Cardinals offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum penned a first-person column about the holiday and shared it with azcardinals.com. Today is Juneteenth – the 156th anniversary of the day 250,000 enslaved people in Texas learned of their freedom via military order, nearly...

In 2019, Vance Joseph had to grin and bear it. On a near-weekly basis, the Cardinals' defensive coordinator was pelted with questions about miscues during his Thursday press conference with reporters. It was a year to forget, as the defense ended up allowing the most yards (402 per game) and...

Kyler Murray's sack total went way down from 2019 to 2020, but that doesn't always tell the whole story. It did in this case, as the Cardinals' offensive line was equally adept at limiting pressure. The Cardinals allowed a team hurry probability of only 7.2 percent last season, per...

Former Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, who has always been known for his honesty, was blunt when asked if the team brought in a specialist to explain the benefits of the vaccine to his team. "I'm the specialist," Arians said, per ESPN. "If you want to go back to normal, get vaccinated...

In a press conference on Wednesday, Collins rattled off some of the myriad duties he must master over the next few months. There are standard play-calls, audibles, alerts, knowing down-and-distance, two-minute situations and how to effectively get everyone lined up and on the same page. But...

"Hi Dazza. Might be a silly question but with all the fanfare on draft pick signings do they actually have guaranteed money? If a seventh-rounder signs a four-year how much does he actually get? Also do you watch other sports like Rugby League? Check out State of Origin coming up in a week if...

Two "Protect the Nest" ticket plans will go on sale beginning Tuesday, June 15 at 10 a.m. Each "Protect the Nest" plan features four games, including prominent primetime matchups at State Farm Stadium. The "Red Plan" includes the Thursday Night contest vs. Green Bay in Week 8 and the...

J.J. WATT HAS ALREADY MADE AN IMPACT The Cardinals need newcomer J.J. Watt to produce as a defensive lineman, and his ability to do that won't be known until the games begin to count. But there is little question Watt, who arrived for the aforementioned voluntary OTAs and minicamp, has already...

Alford was originally due to count $9 million on the 2021 salary cap, which wasn't going to happen. The Cardinals released him to save $7.5M in cap space, but just a couple days later, Alford had re-signed for the league's minimum veteran salary. "He basically told us 'Hey I want to come back...

The Cardinals wrapped up offseason work with the final day of minicamp on Thursday, and the best-case scenario in 2021 is a perfectly-healthy Murray from start to finish. However, if an injury slows him down, or if teams game-plan to curtail his rushing like they did down the stretch, the...

The entire Cardinals' draft class is under contract after second-round pick Rondale Moore signed on the dotted line Wednesday. The speedy slot receiver's deal is for $6.9 million over four years, including a $2.9 million signing bonus, according to salary cap website Spotrac. Moore, who...

But as he did a year ago, Hopkins downplays any specific statistics he might seek, looking instead for that playoff berth that was at hand before the Cards struggled down the stretch. "I want to win a championship," Hopkins said. "I feel like a guy like me, who sees a lot of attention from a...

While right guard is in flux, the Cardinals have the potential to roll out an imposing left side of their line. Humphries was one of the best left tackles in the NFL in 2020 and, at age-27, is in his physical prime. Pugh had some penalty issues last season but was otherwise solid, while Hudson...

Zaven Collins was left in tears on draft night when the Cardinals took him with the 16th pick of the first round. Six weeks later, the emotions weren't quite as intense Tuesday as the inside linebacker signed his first NFL contract, but it didn't make it less meaningful of a step. "It's...

The Cardinals added to depth on the defensive line Monday by bringing back a familiar face in Xavier Williams. To make room, the Cards cut linebacker Shareef Miller. Williams signed a one-year deal. Williams played 23 games for the Cardinals from 2015-2017 after signing as an undrafted...
