Time to stop drafting “Need to get stronger” players and start acquiring those that are ready to play now
The Cardinals need to fortify their interior offensive line in the offseason with free agent and NFL Draft acquisitions in order to remain competitive in the NFC West.
According to Over the Cap, they are projected to have $8,699,065 in salary cap space. With the likelihood of the Cardinals releasing CB Robert Alford and restructuring the...
Hopkins had 1,407 receiving yards this season, which was third behind Stefon Diggs and Travis Kelce. His 115 receptions were tied for second with Davante Adams. You can understand why he feels he was underrated.

Hours before the Arizona Cardinals announced that they have promoted OL coach Sean Kugler to running game coordinator and Cam Turner to QB coach while appointing Sean Jefferson as the team’s new WR coach, I was asked this question by GWatt on Twitter: (@GWattawa):
Walter, have you ever wondered that with the general lack of urgency in the Cardinals FO towards hiring a OC is because they aren’t going too. The team has had the...

The Arizona Cardinals need as much help to add talent as they can get, but they will not be getting any of it through the compensatory picks process.
The folks at Over The Cap released their annual projections for compensatory picks heading into the NFL Draft and the Arizona Cardinals are not projected to have any.
Not surprising when you look at who the Cardinals lost in the free agency last offseason, but the Cardinals could sure use some extra picks without...

The Arizona Cardinals have made some moves in the coaching ranks promoting two within and bringing in a coach for the wide receivers room.
From the team:
Kugler helped the Cardinals run for 2,237 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2020, marking just the sixth time in franchise history and first time since 1984 that the Cardinals had 2,000+ rushing yards and 20+ rushing touchdowns in a season. Arizona finished the 2020 season with the NFL’s...

The Arizona Cardinals have plenty of needs heading into the offseason, but watching what is going on inside the division is also going to be something to watch.
My buddy Kyle Posey is going over some scenarios he has heard the San Francisco 49ers are exploring, and while one he text me about should seriously worry Cardinals fans (please keep Deshaun Watson out of the NFC West), the more realistic scenario is also interesting for the Cardinals.
49ers...

I woke up feeling tempted to write threads about BA, Jason Licht and the Honey Badger —- and if you want to read my instant reactions to the Bucs NFCCG win last night you can visit my Twitter page @WBJMitch —- but Arians, Mathieu and Licht are no longer Cardinals and I do not want to dwell on the past and the billions of “what ifs” —- instead I want to keep my focus on what the current Arizona Cardinals need to do in order to improve their own...

The Arizona Cardinals have a lot of issues that need fixing this offseason. Here’s a blueprint they should follow to become a contender next season.
