While coach Kliff Kingsbury has kept his offensive vision under wraps, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has not been shy about his plan on the other side of the ball. Joseph has expressed multiple times his intent to play an attacking 3-4 base defense in 2019, anchored by an array of blitzes...

Right tackle Marcus Gilbert believes Murray’s dual threat skillset will actually make life easier on the blockers. “He has a special talent to change the whole defensive scheme up,” Gilbert said. “I think (defensive linemen) have to be more wary than we are as offensive linemen, because he can...

Nothing has changed for me in terms of thinking Peterson will be here in 2019. He remains one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL (and for those who argue that point, I simply believe you are wrong, as would NFL evaluators) and he'll still be around for 10 games. His value, given everything that...

It was a picturesque Monday afternoon, as intermittent cloud cover and gorgeous weather made for an idyllic start to the Cardinals’ organized team activities. The conditions weren’t the only reason why the Cardinals’ offensive line group was feeling good. Four starters who had their 2018...

Seeking more depth on the defensive line, the Cardinals signed veteran free agent Terrell McClain to a one-year deal Wednesday. McClain, who played last year in Atlanta, is going into his ninth season. The 30-year-old will try to find a spot in a unit that has questions beyond an expected...

Anger accompanied the injuries, White acknowledged. But now, White speaks measured and eloquently about his path, emphasizing he uses it as “fuel to push me forward.” “Something like that is something you can’t ever forget,” White said. “I think it shaped me into the man I am today, mentally...

It’s an odd situation for the Cardinals to find themselves in. Peterson has never missed a game in his NFL career, playing (and starting) all 128 games in his eight seasons. Alford’s signing is another attempt to solidify the spot across from Peterson, and Peterson even helped recruit Alford as...

Patrick Peterson has been suspended for the first six games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy, it was announced Thursday, a significant blow to the Cardinals’ defense in Kliff Kingsbury’s first season as coach. Peterson has never missed a game in his...

Peterson was asked if he planned to participate in the Cardinals’ voluntary OTAs beginning on Monday but it doesn’t seem like he will attend. “I have to be a father,” Peterson said. “My wife’s a doctor and I’m the only one right now that can really take her to school. So I have to take her to...

Butler loved to vacation in Richmond when he was a boy, naturally gravitating to his older cousins, Andrew and Aaron, Jr. While he was grateful to land in a stable environment following Sherryl’s death, the beginning was still fraught with emotion. “You’re grieving and you’re trying to get...

If we are including free agency, then the first names that pop into my head are right tackle Marcus Gilbert and guard J.R. Sweezy on offense and cornerback Robert Alford on defense. Even linebacker Jordan Hicks. Those are the guys that are vets, that have played in this league, and that will...

A pair of former Cardinals safeties continue to move up within the franchise’s personnel department after the organization announced some front office moves Wednesday. Quentin Harris has been promoted to director of player personnel, while Adrian Wilson has been named director of pro scouting...

The Cardinals brought 28 tryout players in for their rookie minicamp, in an effort to fill out the roster for the three days of practice -- although they were also looking for someone to stick around. The Cardinals signed a pair of tryout players over the weekend, adding safety Tyler Sigler...

He knows Keim mentioned after picking Isabella the performances against bigger programs made the wideout more attractive. Isabella, however, laughs at the topic. “I just read a book that says you should be mad if someone asks you a question like that, because you should play as hard as you can...

Sally Kingsbury was diagnosed in 2003, Kliff’s rookie year playing in the NFL. She battled the disease through three rounds of chemotherapy and multiple operations. She passed away in December of 2005, not long after Kliff was able to fly home from New York while playing for the Jets to say a...

The Cardinals rookies arrived Thursday, and already more than half the draft class are signed to their contracts – including No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray. Murray, second-round cornerback Byron Murphy, third-round defensive end Zach Allen, sixth-round wide receiver KeeSean Johnson...

With the rookie class arriving – and contracts soon to be signed – the Cardinals made a series of roster moves Friday to align their 90-man roster to accommodate the new players and sign a couple new ones. The team cut nine players total, including former CFL wide receiver Bryant Mitchell and...

The Cardinals wasted no time in getting all of their draft picks under contract. Wide receivers Hakeem Butler and Andy Isabella – fourth- and second-round picks, respectively -- were among the final five players to ink their four-year rookie deals on Friday, joining the half-dozen who did so...

Byron Murphy sported his new No. 33 jersey at the first day of rookie minicamp on Friday – a number chosen as a reminder of where he was taken in the draft. The Cardinals' rookie cornerback was disappointed he didn’t go in the first round, and coach Kliff Kingsbury was downright stunned...

He is in the NFL now with an obvious upgrade in talent around him, but Andy Isabella could only smile Friday when asked about catching passes from his new quarterback, Kyler Murray. “Probably the best I’ve ever been thrown,” the rookie receiver from UMass said. “Dream come true, basically.”...
