The moment he got off the phone with second-round pick Andy Isabella during draft weekend, Kliff Kingsbury clapped five times and let out an excited scream. The Cardinals coach is known for his offensive ingenuity, but even the brightest football minds will be handcuffed without talent...

That money is already being absorbed on the cap and will be gone after the 2019 season. As of today, the NFLPA lists the Cardinals with about $13 million in cap space. Not sure who would be out there that you'd want to sink a lot of money into right now. They do need a chunk of that cap space to...

The Cardinals signed tight end Maxx Williams, a former second-round pick, to a one-year contract, the team announced Friday. Williams was selected by the Ravens in 2015 but did not live up to his draft billing in four years with the team, accumulating 63 catches for 497 yards and three...

“A lot of the stuff (in coaching) doesn’t appeal to me anymore, but when you say, ‘Get on the grass and coach them up,’ I can do that,” Sullivan said. “You get to a certain point, you’re agenda-free. I’m not trying to prove I know how to coach – I know how to do that.” Sullivan has been...

The Cardinals, after 11 draft choices, are adding another hefty group of undrafted players to the roster after agreeing to terms with 12 more rookies, including Arkansas cornerback Ryan Pulley, Murray State quarterback Drew Anderson and Ohio State linebacker Dante Booker. Also coming in will...

Whether it is a "volatile" camp or not (and Patrick Peterson isn't going to be traded), the leaders aren't going to change. Fitz will have to have a big say on offense, as will David Johnson, but in the end, your quarterback, in whatever way it might manifest, has to be a major leader. That's a...

Byron Murphy sounded almost out of breath and admitted he couldn’t stop pacing around his house. The cornerback from the University of Washington had hoped to be a first-round pick Thursday night, and there was some disappointment when he didn’t. But Friday morning, when a Cardinals scout...

Allen is a versatile piece on the line and is happy to do anything asked of him as a rookie -- on the field or off. “Gain weight, lose weight, whatever it is,” Allen said. “Special teams, sell popcorn, I’m willing to do it.” The Cardinals struggled stopping the run a year ago, and Keim...

Keim said he never actively shopped Rosen in trade prior to the draft, but had conversations with multiple teams from the Scouting combine on the subject. "A team has to make a hard offer, and I always leave that door open," Keim added. Isabella isn’t big, officially 5-foot-9 and 188 pounds...

Sixth round (No. 174 overall): KeeSean Johnson, wide receiver, Fresno State The Cardinals went with a receiver for the third time in the draft following the second-round pick of Andy Isabella and the fourth-round choice of Hakeem Butler. Johnson was ultra-productive his senior season with the...

When Hakeem Butler met with the Cardinals and Kliff Kingsbury at the Scouting combine, the Iowa State wide receiver told Kingsbury that he had wanted to play for Kingsbury at Texas Tech – but Kingsbury never extended a scholarship offer. Saturday morning, Kingsbury – talking to Butler after...

“He’s a dynamic talent, a unique talent that I don’t know if anyone has seen,” Kingsbury said. It does leave a complicated situation at quarterback. The Cardinals did take some calls about potential trades for Rosen, but none that Keim considered reasonable offers. While there is a chance...

The draft is finally here, and the NFL is fixated on what the Cardinals will do with the No. 1 overall pick. The majority of national pundits believe the team will choose a quarterback in the first round for the second straight season, but there has been recent speculation they could instead...

Murray spoke excitedly about the Cardinals and the pairing with coach Kliff Kingsbury, an offensive guru who has long clamored for the dual-threat quarterback to be his maestro. Kingsbury unsuccessfully tried recruiting Murray to Texas Tech but now gets him in the NFL. "He’s a dynamic talent...

The amount of work – 5,000 written reports on between 400 and 450 players, in addition to multiple meetings breaking each guy down – the Cardinals put into preparing for the draft is immense. Yet this spring, it doesn’t seem as immense as the amount of attention that has been spotlighted on...

Well, that's a good question. The Cards have 10 picks total, and I won't be shocked if they end up with fewer draftees than that -- using picks at some point to move up. (If they end up trading down in the first to get extra picks, I reserve the right to change that prediction.) Who they get is...

If the Cardinals bypass Murray and he becomes a superstar, the move will be panned. If Keim drafts Murray and Rosen goes on to become a star elsewhere, there could be similar second-guessing. If Keim nails the decision, he will be lauded as a brilliant football mind. Keim is a talent evaluator...

Kingsbury declined to get into draft conversations again, saying he’d let what he and GM Steve Keim said in last week’s pre-draft press conference stand. But when asked whether plans for the top pick were solidified, Kingsbury said not yet. “We’re still working through it,” Kingsbury said. “I...
