It concludes an offseason of major moves on defense in free agency and the draft. I was a guest on Proline TV's Arizona Cardinals offseason report card to discuss offseason moves, draft picks and insights for what the depth chart will look like during the season. Host Greg DePalma and I ran down the Cardinals' moves in free agency, where the new additions fit, who will have the biggest impact. The biggest impact will come on defense as the offense remains largely the same. We run down the Cardinals' draft picks and where they will figure in as rookies in 2025. I talk about how linebacker Cody Simon and cornerback Will Johnson are the two rookies likely to have the biggest roles. I wonder how the deep defensive…...

10+ mon, 3+ week ago (412+ words) The Arizona Cardinals have begun their offseason and have two months to re-sign players scheduled to become free agents before the new league year begins in March. One key player and defensive captain, linebacker Kyzir White, suggested on social media that he won't be back with the Cardinals in 2025. He posted this on his Instagram account: He said thank you to the state of Arizona. This is a typical goodbye social media post. White will be a free agent after two seasons with the Cardinals. If you check the comments, you will see notes of support and sadness from teammates, all seeming to be well-wishing goodbyes in terms of being a teammate. Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters in his season-concluding press conference on Monday that change is coming. "Everybody knows in this building change is inevitable. That's going to…...

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to be active in free agency, as they have more cap space than…...

4+ mon, 3+ week ago (423+ words) The Arizona Cardinals lost five of their last seven 2024 NFL regular season games when things seemed to be going well early on. Will the Arizona Cardinals win the NFC West in 2025? Cardinals' fans are hoping their team can live out their potential in 2025. The Arizona Cardinals loss five of their last seven 2024 NFL regular season games when things seemed to be going well early on. Operating under new leadership in head coach Jonathan Gannon still didn't inhibit quarterback Kyler Murray from making costly mistakes down the stretch. Nor did offensive coordinator Drew Petzing develop enough dynamic running plays to make third downs more manageable for the team offense. The most gut-wrenching defeat for the Cardinals came on Dec. 22 when defensive coordinator Nick Rallis had his defense give up a whopping 243 rushing yards to the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers finished 5-12 on…...

We know they will end the season against a division opponent, because that is how the league does things every year. We also know all the Cardinals…...

2+ mon, 1+ week ago (419+ words) Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis has to be exhausted knowing his unit left in all on the line in Week 3. Cardinals DC Nick Rallis can't keep being the hero with his headset Rallis and the Cardinals rank No. 5 opponent points allowed For three consecutive weeks, Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis has been asked to save the day, repeatedly. Even with the casualties that caused injuries to rookie defensive back to Will Johnson and Garrett Williams, his unit did its part by standing up to the San Francisco 49ers defense countlessly in Sunday's 16-15 loss. With 5:19 left to go in Week 3, Rallis schemed a combo coverage to bait quarterback Mac Jones into an errand throw that allowed for Cardinals defensive back Dadrion Taylor-Demerson to grab his first career interception. Sequentially, the Cardinals' offense took over on their own 39-yard line, needing…...

10+ mon, 3+ week ago (260+ words) The Arizona Cardinals face the San Francisco 49ers in their season finale and have made roster moves to prepare for the game and deal with injuries. Let's have a look at the updated roster and depth chart for Week 18, as well as who might be inactive for the game. This has been the same all season. James Conner, Trey Benson and Emari Demercado are all on injured reserve. Jones was elevated from the practice squad. Carter was signed this week from the practice squad. We will see whether Jones or Dallas are the backup running back and third-down back. Wilson is questionable and could be inactive, which would give Weaver the shot at playing. If Wilson is active, Weaver will not dress. This has been the same all season. Vokolek likely will not dress. He has dressed only once when McBride…...
