The Cardinals don't want Baker to change a thing. They made him the highest-paid safety in the NFL during training camp and the contract has looked like a bargain through the first six games of the season. In the one contest Baker missed this season – Week 4 against the Panthers due to a thumb...

He went to the Giants on a one-year contract and had a team-high 10 sacks last year for New York, but still couldn't find the big-money free agent deal on the market and subsequently returned to the Giants. He still is owed about $631,000 in salary and about a million in per-game roster bonuses...

The phrase popped up among analytics gurus on the internet, after countless numbers said the Seahawks were better off when Russell Wilson passed more often – "Let Russ Cook." This year, Pete Carroll finally has done that, and Wilson, future Hall of Famer that he is, hasn't disappointed. He's the...

"There's nothing like winning," Patrick Peterson said Thursday to open his press conference, the veteran cornerback coming off a good game in Dallas and one in which his excitable personality was on full display for the national TV audience. So when Peterson was asked later about if his...

Through six games, Reddick leads the team and is tied for 12th in the NFL with four sacks. "He's much more comfortable where he's at now, and you're seeing the results," coach Kliff Kingsbury said. "He's able to use his athleticism. He's a tough player, a physical player, very competitive...

The Cardinals-Seahawks game Sunday just got moved to national TV. The original "Sunday Night Football" matchup was Buccaneers traveling to Las Vegas to play the Raiders, but with the Raiders dealing with several COVID-19 cases this week, that game was swapped into the Cardinals' original time...

"He took that to heart, and I thought he did a nice job of finishing runs downhill, was getting north and south from the first play on, and you see the dynamic speed when he gets in open space," Kingsbury said. Even without the final 69-yard touchdown run, Drake had his best game in Dallas...

Hopkins only finished with two catches in the game, snapping a streak of 23 straight games with at least five receptions, but he accumulated 73 yards because the second was a 60-yard catch-and-run. It has been a fantastic six-game start to his Cardinals career, as Hopkins leads the NFL in...

When Chandler Jones was lost for the season with a biceps injury, the rest of Cardinals' captains went to Kliff Kingsbury to tell the coach it made sense to fill the captaincy with Budda Baker. It made sense to Kingsbury, who couldn't think of a player more deserving. Then Baker went out and...

"This 'take it slow' thing with Simmons is so frustrating. Other than injured guys and Green Bay backup QB Jordan Love, Simmons is the single least used first-round rookie. And almost a mockery, a practice squad LB name Isaiah is likely in line to see more reps than our No. 8 overall LB Isaiah...

The Cardinals activated running back D.J. Foster back to the practice squad Tuesday, now that Foster has healed from his quadriceps injury. Foster had been on the practice squad/injured reserve, which like its regular injured reserve counterpart, allows players to come back after a minimum of...

The Cardinals were expected to be an offensive dynamo this year, but their calling card has been balance. The defense has exceeded expectations under Vance Joseph, as it is second in the NFL in points allowed and ranked No. 9 in efficiency. Takeaways were in short supply through five games...

Budda Baker got the cash in training camp, and on Monday he added some cachet. The highest-paid safety in the NFL showed the Cowboys -- and the country -- why he deserved the big bucks with an outstanding performance on "Monday Night Football." Baker had seven tackles, a sack, a forced...

But if Murray was the story, the defense was the surprise twist. Baker had one of his best games, including his first NFL interception as the Cardinals forced four turnovers – one more than they had total in the first five games of the season. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, playing two days...

DALLAS -- With the Cardinals needing some help at outside linebacker because of injuries, the team elevated undrafted rookie Reggie Walker from the practice squad to the roster Monday ahead of their game against the Cowboys. The Cards also elevated defensive lineman Trevon Coley from the...

It will also be Kingsbury's first game in Texas as an NFL coach since joining the Cardinals in 2019. The San Antonio native will be Arizona's adopted son if he continues leading the Cardinals on their current trajectory, but his Texas roots run deep. Kingsbury not only grew up in the state but...

The Cardinals are attempting to find a defensive plan that can account for the loss of top pass rusher Chandler Jones. One of the more obvious ways for the team to help, however, comes on the other side of the ball. "That's something that obviously ran through my head when (the injury)...

The three biggest things to watch for Sunday when the Cardinals play the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Dallas: Pass rush is crucial in the NFL – duh – and losing your best pass rusher for the season is incredibly painful. No, Chandler Jones wasn't producing sacks at the rate he was at last...

After Kliff Kingsbury had already said both starting right guard J.R. Sweezy and defensive lineman Rashard Lawrence would miss Monday night's game in Dallas, the Cardinals confirmed their absence will be longer than one week. The team placed both Sweezy (elbow) and Lawrence (calf) on injured...
