The Cardinals' kicking woes last season were well-documented, as Zane Gonzalez missed crucial field goal attempts in close losses to the Patriots and Dolphins. Matt Prater nailed a game-winner at State Farm Stadium in 2020, and believes he can keep it up as a member of the home team. The...

The only thing Rodney Hudson is willing to see when he looks backward is Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray awaiting Hudson's snap. The team's newest center, acquired in a trade Wednesday from the Las Vegas Raiders, spoke as a member of the Cardinals Friday and politely punted the opportunity...

For the first time in his career, Green won't be the No. 1 receiver, of which he found appealing. DeAndre Hopkins will get the lion's share of attention from opposing defenses in 2021, and Green sees a serious benefit from that setup. "I think that's going to take a lot off me," Green said...

The Cardinals have a kicker. After an emotional roller-coaster of a season with Zane Gonzalez and then fill-in work by the ageless Mike Nugent, the Cardinals turned to another veteran Wednesday when they agreed to a two-year deal with Matt Prater. The Cards last saw Prater last season, when...

Peterson wasn't the only player who left the Cards Wednesday. Linebacker Haason Reddick is headed to play for his former college coach, Matt Rhule, in Carolina with the Panthers. Like Peterson, Reddick had hoped to find a lucrative multi-year contract but in this COVID-crunched cap offseason...

The Cardinals re-signed inside linebacker Tanner Vallejo to a two-year contract on Wednesday. The four-year NFL veteran is a key special teams piece and will aim to carve out a rotational role on defense in 2021. While Jordan Hicks and Isaiah Simmons are projected to be the starters at inside...

When asked about starting center Mason Cole and backup Lamont Gaillard last month, offensive line coach Sean Kugler acknowledged the Cardinals would consider bringing in a player from the outside for the position. For a while, it looked like that could be free-agent Corey Linsley, the Packers'...

The search was for a No. 2 wide receiver. And maybe someone who could either team with – or ease the transition without – Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals picked a veteran who has patterned his game after the Cards' longtime face of the franchise. Former Pro Bowl Bengals wide receiver A.J...

The Cardinals have talked about 2020 third-round pick Josh Jones' ability to play guard despite his background as a tackle. Part of that reason may be because of the move to keep veteran Kelvin Beachum, who started all 16 games for the Cards at right tackle in 2020 and did a good job not only...

"That was distressing to hear Kyler is up for extension after this season already. Where does time go, man. So speaking on that window, would you assume we drag it out as long as possible? Pick up his fifth year and tag a couple times? Or do you see an immediate extension ASAP?" Oh Albert, I...

With free agency coming Wednesday and the right for teams to talk to the agents of other teams' free agents beginning Monday morning, the Cardinals looked to keep some key parts by making tender offers to restricted free agent linebackers Dennis Gardeck and Ezekiel Turner. Both can still seek...

All along, Markus Golden said he wanted to stay with the Cardinals, given that he never really wanted to leave as a free agent back in 2019 in the first place. So after the Cards traded with the Giants for Golden midway through the 2020 season, they made sure he'd stick around, agreeing with...

The salary cap was set at $182.5 million. Given rollover cap money and other adjustments, the Cardinals' actual cap this year is about $192M. Of course, any team can make any contract fit if they are willing to make the effort – the Cards' one free-agent signee so far, J.J. Watt, will make...

Chris Streveler surprisingly won the backup quarterback role over Brett Hundley in training camp last season. His only meaningful game action came in the must-win season finale against the Rams when Murray got hurt, and Streveler struggled when thrown into the fire. It was a tough position to...

Watt's two-year contract costs an average of $14 million per year, but he has a cap hit of only $4.9 million in 2021, which allows for an aggressive push when the new league year begins on Wednesday. The Cardinals have about $20 million in salary cap room, per OverTheCap.com, and can use player...

Robert Alford will get another chance with the Cardinals after all. The veteran cornerback was released earlier this week following two straight lost seasons due to injury, but re-signed on Friday, according to the NFL's official transactions page. It is a one-year deal, per NFL Network...

The Cardinals cannonballed into free agency, signing J.J. Watt to a two-year deal. The work isn't done, as GM Steve Keim must fill other holes on the roster this offseason. The new league year begins on Wednesday, March 17, with the legal tampering period opening on Monday, March 15. We will...

There is no argument that Etienne would fit well in the Cards' backfield, a playmaker with significant speed. He's not a huge back, but NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah noted that Etienne's power is his speed. Certainly, Etienne would fit in the locker room, with former Clemson teammate...

When he signed with the Cardinals in February of 2019, Robert Alford was hoping he would be the perfect partner with Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson. But Alford -- and the Cardinals -- never got to find out. Alford missed both the 2019 and 2020 season after serious training camp...
