    Chandler Jones Has Eyes Set On NFL Sack Record

    Chandler Jones has usually kept his motivations vague season to season, choosing only to say he'd like to get better from the previous year. Coming off his personal best season of 19 sacks, though, perhaps there is reason to get more specific. Perhaps there's a reason for him to acknowledge...

    You've Got Mail: On To Strength And Conditioning

    "I read where the New Jersey governor stated that no fans are allowed in attendance at any sporting events in the state, which obviously affects both the Giants and Jets. Given this, and given how much every club tries to gain or nullify even the most minute advantage, has there been any...

    Cardinals Hope To Minimize COVID-19 Impact

    The reverberations of COVID-19 hit the Cardinals' roster for the first time on Tuesday when right tackle Marcus Gilbert opted out of the season. The deadline for most to voluntarily opt out is Thursday, but that certainly won't be the end of the coronavirus impact. Even though the Cardinals...

    Top Questions Heading Into 2020 Training Camp, Part One

    Training camp is here. Sort of. The Cardinals are in the middle of testing and/or strength and conditioning. They won't get out to State Farm Stadium for another couple of weeks when normally they'd be there by now. Instead it's work at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center...

    The Mathlete: New Cardinals Wide Receiver DeAndre Hopkins Is Top 10 In 'Top 100'

    To have that wide receiver considered one of the best players in football? Even better. Hopkins was the fifth Cardinal to appear on this year's list. Linebacker Chandler Jones was No. 15, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald came in at No. 69, quarterback Kyler Murray was No. 90 and safety Budda...

    Isaiah Simmons Won't Lower Expectations Amid Abnormal Rookie Year

    You've Got Mail: Players Are In The Building

    "In (last week's) mailbag, someone asked you a question about Isaiah Simmons changing his number. Your response about him being able to choose any number in the 40s, 50s, or 60s surprised me. Hasn't No. 40 been retired and no longer available? If not, why not?" First, a linebacker can be in...

    From Snubbed To Loved: Chandler Jones Gets No. 15 On 'Top 100'

    But no Cardinal had a better year than Jones last season. Yet as recent as mid-season last year, Jones was seemingly still lagging nationally when it came to recognition. "Oh, you don't talk about me," he said at one point. "You're upset that I'm at No. 1 (in sacks)? That's cool. As long as...

    Larry Fitzgerald Makes It 10-For-10 In 'Top 100' Appearances

    Larry Fitzgerald is a different player than he was, for example, during his historic playoff performance in 2008. He's a different player just from when the NFL Network began its annual Top 100 list following the 2010 season. But Fitzgerald, who will turn 37 next month and is going into his...

    Kyler Murray, Budda Baker Voted Into 'Top 100' NFL Players

    The Cardinals have had a love-hate relationship with the NFL Network's Top 100 list. Linebacker Chandler Jones was somehow left off the list – compiled via votes of NFL players taken near the end of the previous season – last year, although wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald's annual inclusion...
