Even with a QB, "at the same time there is a tremendous amount of pressure to surround that player with the right type of player," Keim said. "You have to view this as a window in time that you have the opportunity to go out and put pieces of the puzzle around him." The rookie contract Murray...

The NFL Scouting combine is still in Indianapolis. It still is about player interviews, medical evaluations and on-field drills. But this year, there has been upheaval, all in the name of television. And while the Cardinals are in a better place than last year given that coach Kliff Kingsbury...

"A quick comment before my question. I surely enjoy the 'Underground' (podcast) and look forward to it immensely each week. Your insight, patience and sanity with 'Paulie Pencil Neck' and the 'Professor of Analytics' is noteworthy. Two questions: First, are there any plans in the future to...

A big step toward continuity came earlier this week when left tackle D.J. Humphries inked a three-year contract extension. Humphries only gave up two sacks in 2019 and will be counted on to lock down Murray's blindside for the foreseeable future. Kugler was impressed to see Humphries'...

"How about some trade talk? I've got three proposals: Patrick Peterson for Trent Williams (let D.J. Humphries walk in free agency and extend Williams). Andy Isabella for N'Keal Harry (each 1st year disappointing WR gets to go back to the team near their glorious college days). David Johnson to...

The idea when the Cardinals drafted D.J. Humphries in the first round in 2015 was that he would develop into the team's long-term left tackle. That was anything but a sure thing for few years, while Humphries both matured and endured injuries. But after a solid season in 2019, when Humphries...

Choosing the starting running back for the Arizona Cardinals is simple, General Manager Steve Keim said Friday. "The guy who is under contract, and the guy who earns it," Keim said during an extended interview on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. The Cards have already engaged in contract talks with...

When the Cardinals traded for Pittsburgh's Marcus Gilbert last offseason, he headed to Arizona with both talent and injury concerns. The latter prevailed, as the veteran right tackle tore his ACL days before the regular season and missed the whole year. It was the latest in a spell of...

-- Bidwill said he was in favor of the league moving to a 17-game season. The expansion of the schedule is one of the main negotiating points between the league and the NFL Players Association as they attempt to agree on a new collective bargaining agreement. The current CBA runs out after the...

It's dangerous enough to wait a round or two and not take a guy because you think someone will be there who you need later in a particular draft, but waiting an entire year? Yes, in hindsight it makes sense but no one was advocating such things ahead of time. You can't plan like that. As for BPA...

Larry Fitzgerald will eventually reach the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but Sunday, he bested someone already enshrined in Canton -- on the golf course. The Cardinals' wide receiver teamed with Scottsdale pro Kevin Streelman to win the ATT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the second time in three...

The Chiefs have the NFL version of a unicorn: a superstar quarterback at an absurdly discounted rate. Patrick Mahomes had a cap number of only $4.48 million in 2019 because he's still on his rookie contract, which allowed the front office to load the roster around him on the way to a Super...

Buckner spent 2018 as Tampa's defensive line coach after his five years in Arizona. During his time with the Cardinals, Buckner worked with Calais Campbell, Corey Peters, Rodney Gunter and Josh Mauro, among others. He was also a front-facing motivator, his style captured near the end of the...

Let me just say that I don't ever recall players paying for drinks since I've been around. But like anything over the last 20 years, things have evolved for sure. The moving into State Farm Stadium in 2006 was a giant move, especially when it came to an influx of cash flow. But while there might...

The Cardinals have signed a quarterback, and what he's done in the Canadian Football League may give an indication of what Kliff Kingsbury could use him for in the NFL. Chris Streveler, who just won a Grey Cup championship with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, inked a futures deal the team Tuesday...

For all the smiles Edgerrin James would wear throughout his NFL career, the work the running back would put into his football life was no laughing matter. "I take this way too serious," James once said, after signing with the Cardinals in 2006. "I take it way too serious." It made a...

Murray threw for 3,722 yards while completing 64.4 percent of his passes for 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He also rushed for an additional 544 yards and 4 scores. He was only the second rookie (and sixth player ever) to pass for at least 3,500 yards and run for 500 in a season. He also...

Murray threw for 3,722 yards while completing 64.4 percent of his passes for 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He also rushed for an additional 544 yards and four scores. "Those individual accolades, everybody knows about them," Murray said. "But for me I think winning (games) is the most...

Rams coach Sean McVay watched his own quarterback, Jared Goff, make significant strides from year one to two, and outlined how Murray can follow the same path. "Athletically and from a physically-gifted standpoint, there are no limitations that he has," McVay said. "I think repetition is the...
