As they did with a blistering statement issued by external public relations advisor Jim McCarthy three weeks ago after former personnel executive Terry McDonough filed an arbitration claim against the Cardinals and made sure the news became public, the club answered in kind this week through its attorneys, not only with their official response but also ensuring it too is…
It’s been a whirlwind for Monti Ossenfort in the three months since he was hired as the Cardinals general manager. Of course, that’s the way it usually is when a new hire arrives, has to help in the hiring of a new head coach and then prepare for free agency and the draft, essentially with the holdovers from the previous…
Terry McDonough isn’t going away. That much is obvious. Two weeks after the former personnel executive’s grievance against the Cardinals became public, McDonough continued his attack on owner Michael Bidwill in texts he sent to Doug Franz, the former host of the morning show on ArizonaSports 98.7. That came one week after ProFootballTalk published a letter from Dec. 18, 2019,…
Catching up on the “breaking news” . . . The Cardinals might trade down in the first round of the draft Wow. That’s ground-breaking. The reaction was palpable last week when ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that at least six teams have inquired about trading for the Cardinals’ third overall pick in the first round. Really? That’s news? The real story…
It didn’t garner much fanfare last week when the Cardinals announced additions to their sports performance staff after earlier adding Shea Thompson to the new position of director, football performance. However, considering the team has had one of the smallest, if not the smallest, groups in that area working with the players, it could be the most significant decision this…
Back in November, PHNX Sports introduced you to Heidi’s Village, a full service animal shelter that offers a safe harbor to dogs and cats from rescue groups all over Arizona. Periodically, we will be highlighting some of the animals that need good homes. The final three dogs were are featuring in this round of profiles are Georgia, Eva and Zazu.…
Just when you think you’ve heard it all . . . That can be the only reaction after a bizarre Tuesday that becomes another headline in the more than year-long soap opera that has engulfed the Arizona Cardinals. Somehow it seems strange that the team’s training center is named and sponsored by Dignity Health because there wasn’t much of that…
There’s no question Jonathan Gannon is approaching his foray into being a head coach with confidence. Confidence in himself and confident in the staff he has put together, despite its youth and glaring lack of NFL experience. Still, it’s a staff where Gannon is allowing them to do the jobs they were hired for while he is the leader of…
The second week of the 2023 NFL league year has just begun, yet it feels like it’s been going on for much longer. Perhaps that’s because nearly 400 players have either changed teams or re-signed in the last two weeks. Of that number, 190 will have new addresses this year. Those include players traded, signed as unrestricted free agents, signed…
The first three days of this year’s free-agent period surely hasn’t been a frenzy for the Cardinals at least when it comes to money out the door. They have added three outside free agents (linebacker Kyzir White, interior lineman Hjalte Froholdt and defensive lineman Kevin Strong), while re-signing five of their own unrestricted free agents (tackle Kelvin Beachum, guard Will…
