    You've Got Mail: Filling Out The Roster

    "Darren, in light of the trading of Mason Cole for a sixth-round draft pick, I have a question about late-round picks: do the Cardinals (or any other team for that matter) ever target a pick who would be considered a stud special-teamer first and a position player secondarily? I am referring to...

    Cardinals Trade Mason Cole For Draft Pick

    Once the Cardinals traded for Rodney Hudson to play center, there was a question what that meant for the future of 2020 starting center Mason Cole.

    Cardinals Agree To One-Year Deal With Malcolm Butler

    Jaycee Horn, Other Prospects Could Kickstart New Cornerback Era For Cardinals

    The Cardinals have traded away three of their first six picks in the draft, but still have their first- and second-rounders. Cornerback is currently the biggest need on the roster, and even if a veteran or two is added in free agency, it is a spot where youth would be coveted. Horn will likely...

    Brian Winters Ready To Compete On Cardinals' Offensive Line

    However it shakes out, Winters should adjust quickly with some friends in the position group. Winters said he joined the Cardinals in large part because of his pre-existing relationships with Pugh and Beachum. "Justin and I came out in the same draft class, so we have a connection through...

    You've Got Mail: How Is Free Agency Going For You?

    "Hey Darren, why do you think the Cards didn't re-sign Reddick? Maybe you can shine a little bit of light on me, perhaps in terms of cap or etc, but I feel like we would've been able to match or offer even better than the Panthers for him, yet we went for Golden. Now don't get me wrong, I love...

    Wide Receiver Setup Getting Clearer, But Larry Fitzgerald Future Still Fuzzy

    Markus Golden, Kelvin Beachum Find Ideal Fit With Cardinals

    In free agency, money is almost always the main motivation for signing with a team. But for Golden and right tackle Kelvin Beachum, it may not have been the top priority. Golden's contract was reportedly for two years at $2.5 million per season plus incentives, a value deal for a player who...

    With Matt Prater On Board, Cardinals Release Brett Maher

    Once Matt Prater signed his contract, it was clear who the Cardinals would have kicking for them in 2021. With the hope COVID restrictions won't be as intense this season -- and therefore less of a reason to keep a backup kicker on hand on the practice squad, as the Cards did with Mike Nugent...
