Arizona Cardinals
It may or may not have an impact on the Arizona Cardinals decision with the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but it without a doubt changes things for the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets.
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore will not enter the NFL Draft, deciding instead to return to Oregon for another season.
What that does is make Fernando Mendoza the unquestionable top player in the 2026 NFL Draft at the quarterback position, and then makes Ty Simpson the next guy.
So, does that take quarterback off the market for the Cardinals for the third...

As the Arizona Cardinals continue to add names to their head coaching search, some will pique interest, some will leave you asking who, and some will just make you not interested.
Not sure where Arthur Smith falls, but he is the latest in a now 13 person line of interviews the Arizona Cardinals have either requested or already interviewed.
Smith was the Atlanta Falcons head coach for three uneventful 7-10 seasons, finishing with a 21-30 record. For an offensive coach, he has not really gotten a lot out of offenses since his stint with the Tennessee Titans, where they were...

As the Arizona Cardinals continue to look for another new head coach, they are leaning into things a bit different this time, casting a wide net.
Enter Houston Texans defensive coordinator and former Arizona Cardinals defensive line coach Matt Burke.
Burke is the Texans defensive play caller, and has created a monster of a defense in Houston and could bring a different fire into Arizona.
Burke has shown off in his three seasons as a defensive coordinator with Houston, moving them from 14th in yards and 11th in points, to first in yards and second in points.
They are one...

The Arizona Cardinals continue to do their due diligence as they interview for their next head coach.
A new name has appeared, as the team has interviewed Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter.
Mintere is a soon to be 43-year old defensive wizard, who has had two impressive seasons as a defensive coordinator in the NFL.
His first year with the Chargers he had the top scoring defense in the NFL, helping the Chargers hold their opponents to 17.7 points per game.
This year they fell down all the way to… ninth in overall scoring. They went from 11th...

The Arizona Cardinals had a lot of injuries this year.
They leaned on those injuries as an excuse for why this team was 3-14, that 14 losses is the most in franchise history.
The Cardinals lost some talent, that is not a question, it is a fact. However, they also had less high end talent lost than a lot of teams.
Take for example the San Francisco 49ers.
The last two games the 49ers have given up 13 points to the Seattle Seahawks in a battle for the top seed in the NFC, and 19 points in a Wild Card...

Every sport has its own equipment.
Players can substitute a Buick for first base, but there is still a bat that is needed to whack the ball with. A couple of chairs or a pair of two-liter bottles work well for a makeshift goal, but while playing hockey, the athlete requires a stick to maneuver the puck.

And every outdoor sport that participants compete on grass or dirt needs their shoes to be able to grip the turf for cutting, stops-and-starts, and planting their feet.
That’s why God invented cleats. Or,...

The NFC West Division is the best in the NFL. Three out of four member clubs received a playoff invitation to this year’s postseason tournament.
The Arizona Cardinals were the only member left home without a date. They finished dead last in the division with a 3-14-0 mark, then fired their coach but kept their GM.

The Arizona Cardinals head coach search has expanded to 10 names they have requested interviews with.
After the Los Angeles Rams first round win over the Carolina Panthers, the Cardinals have requested to meet with both of the Rams coordinators.
Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur is the 38-year old younger brother of Matt LaFleur, the Green Bay Packers head coach, and he has a great resume.
He was the Atlanta Falcons offensive assistant in 2015-2016, then went to the San Francisco 49ers with Kyle Shanahan, and was the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach from 2017-2020, before heading to...
