When trades like the Kevin Durant deal occur, they ignite a city at its core. It is rare for superstars to change teams in any manner, but especially via in-season trade. A look at Valley pro sports history reveals no more than 20 trades that could really be labeled as big, and far fewer that had a major impact. Sometimes…
With the NFL Draft now in their rear view mirror, the Arizona Cardinals have begun to reprioritize what's left of the veteran free agent market with the hope of bettering their roster. At this point forward, any additions made by general manager Steve Keim will not impact his precious compensatory picks earned thanks to the departures of Christian Kirk, Chandler Jones and Chase Edmonds. In many ways, the free agency period is only just beginning for Keim and company.
For the first time in six seasons, the Arizona Cardinals will suit up next fall without star pass rusher Chandler Jones. Gone from Arizona to Las Vegas will be his near sack per game pace (71.5 sacks in 84 games) that included 33 forced fumbles. Jones was once upon a time brought in as the “missing piece” for a then…...
For the better-part of a half decade, Chandler Jones has been one of the few constants for the Arizona Cardinals. Despite a losing record with the club with only one playoff berth (2021), Jones has been a bright spot for an otherwise forgettable era of Cardinal football. His arrival in the desert was meant to finalize the missing piece of…...
For the first time since his bout with COVID-19, Arizona Cardinal pass rusher Chandler Jones spoke to the media about his health among other things. “I feel really good,” said Jones. “I’m still getting my taste and smell back. I just had a stomach bug that was kind of benign. It came and went.” Jones, who debunked a report that…...
Barring a minor miracle, based on the end result of a vicious collision Sunday against San Fransisco, standout tight end Maxx Williams is likely set to miss significant time with a right knee injury. On Wednesday morning, the Cardinals announced Williams would be heading to injured reserve with no definitive timetable for a return. UPDATE: https://twitter.com/williams_maxx/status/1448309608863256579?s=20 The seventh year player,…...
Regardless of what those inside the organization say publicly, Sunday’s 37-20 victory over the unbeaten LA Rams was an emphatic statement game for the Arizona Cardinal football franchise. Especially for head coach Kliff Kingsbury and star quarterback Kyler Murray. “We just wanted to get a week better,” said Kingsbury. “We liked how we had progressed throughout the season…I thought we…...
Since he was hired as the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams back on January 12, 2017, the Arizona Cardinals have never beaten Sean McVay. Not Bruce Arians, Steve Wilks nor Kliff Kingsbury (to this point) have been able to get it done. To make matters worse, the Cardinals haven’t just lost to McVay, rather they are often times…...
If the Arizona Cardinals are going to take that vital next step en route to the NFL post season, they’ll need their young core players to help get them there. For too long, this has been a franchise overly dependent on band aid free agents and mega trades as opposed to homegrown additions via the NFL Draft. If Sunday’s 31-19…...
Cardinal head coach Kliff Kingsbury approached Sunday’s post game presser looking like a man relieved. “Gotta tip my hat to Minnesota. We knew we’d get their best shot, they were awesome…offensively, defensively…I thought they played their tails off.” The Minnesota Vikings had just driven 58 yards in just over two minutes to setup a chip shot 37-yard field goal which…...
