In a stream of issues for the Arizona Cardinals this is a new one, and maybe one of the biggest and most damning.

Their Director of College Scouting, Ryan Gold was suspended indefinitely for violating the leagues gambling policy.

From the NFL

“The League’s investigation determined that Gold provided confidential, non-public inside information regarding 2026 Draft selections by the Cardinals before they were announced, and that Mr. Gold participated in parlay bets on NFL and college games.

“Although there is no reason to believe the integrity of any NFL game was affected, the League takes any violation of the Gambling...

This year’s training camp for the Arizona Cardinals begins July 22nd. That is about a week earlier than the other clubs in the league. This year, the Cardinals will play in the Hall of Fame Game to be played on Thursday, August 6, in Canton, Ohio. Kickoff is 8:00 p.m. (Eastern).

The game will become one of the highlights of the weekend that will see former Cardinals’ receiver Larry Fitzgerald inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Right off, the Arizona Cardinals running back room is full. Full of talent, full of guys who have NFL experience. And full of promise.

The next room that appears to be good? The receiver group.

Currently, there are 12 bodies under contract in this room. Most NFL clubs only keep six receivers on the final roster.

Then, the GM will attempt to stash a couple on the practice squad. This is tricky because it involves being exposed on the waiver wire, where any of the other 31 clubs can claim...

The Arizona Cardinals invested more than any other team in their running back room this offseason, and in doing so, have made it a question on how they will deploy things in 2026.

Sure, it would be easy to just give Jeremiyah Love the ball every touch, but is that the way to get the...

The Arizona Cardinals have a quarterback problem going into this year’s training camp.

Not enough bodies? No. None of the guys has any talent? Nope. Need players who have more NFL experience? Que va!

The problem then? Last year’s starter, Jacoby Brissett, wants to be paid more going into 2026.

He signed a two-year deal before the 2025 season for $12.5 million. The premise was that Brissett would be starting QB Kyler Murray’s backup. $6.25 million is a good haul to dress out, stand on the sideline, and hold the tablet for just...

The life of an Arizona Cardinals fan relies almost solely on hope.

Every once in a while we see things come to fruition, Budda Baker and Trey McBride are really the only two consistently great players the Cardinals have had since the Bruce Arians era ended almost a decade ago.

Yet, we always come back to the well of hope and this last survey shows just that.

We asked, who do you think will finish second on the team in sacks (with the idea that Josh Sweat will be on the roster and healthy for the whole season) and the...

For the Arizona Cardinals there is one thing that is unquestionable, Trey McBride is a great player.

While some may debate his overall ranking among his peers at the position, he’s one of the best tight ends in the NFL.

So, when the Madden 27 rankings started to leak, it was great to see that McBride is part of the 99 club.

Now, maybe the leaks are fake, this is the internet, and the reality is the rankings on Madden are hit and miss, but for McBride to be among a handful of players that were designated with the ranking,...

The one thing that this new offense for the Arizona Cardinals will feature is a heavy run game. They revamped the offensive line, have seven tight ends on the roster going into training camp, and have six capable running backs.

Throughout the franchise’s history, the offense has featured guys who run the rock down the defense’s throat, such as Ollie Matson, David Johnson, Stump Mitchell, O.J. Anderson, Charley Trippi, James Conner, and Johnny Roland.

The Arizona Cardinals have a new offensive system. If you are a fan of the team, you know this; you just haven’t seen how it will actually work with live players. Team OTAs and minicamps have been the only glimpse so far.

Everyone wants to see this new scheme in motion. Because the new head coach, Mike LaFleur, is the former OC with the Los Angeles Rams, perhaps watching some 2023, 2024, and 2025 Rams games to see what to expect.

Happy Friday one and all.

The Arizona Cardinals are close to getting into their 2026 training camp, and as rankings come out we know that most of the rankings won’t be kind to the Cardinals.

However, when ESPN dropped their tight end rankings it was a little shocking to see that while Trey McBride is ranked highly, he is not the top guy.

From ESPN:

2. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals

Highest ranking: 1 | Lowest ranking: 5
Age: 26 | Last year’s ranking: 4

McBride made a serious case for No. 1, earning...

Every year, right before training camps begin, national media giant ESPN comes out with its “best of,” which is broken down into positional rankings. The voters are not fans, or players, but head coaches, national scouts, and team front office executives.

This week, their seventh edition of these annual rankings was revealed for the defensive tackles and EDGE rushers.
