An arbiter has issued a 61-page ruling on NFLPA’s QB contract collusion grievance
The NFLPA’s collusion grievance as applied to the structure of NFL QBs, much in terms of guaranteed money, has resulted in a 61-page ruling from an arbiter.
The three QBs whom the grievance focused on primarily were:
Here are the contracts (years, total salary, guaranteed money) in question:
The similarity of the contracts would appear to follow a common structure.

What position do the Arizona Cardinals need to look at in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Happy Friday one and all.
We have made it.
The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL rest easy gearing up for training camp and the 2025 NFL season.
But, it is the NFL offseason, so why not look ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft, where PFF dropped one position every NFL team needs to think about for the 2026 NFL Draft, and my buddy Trevor Sikkema has a thought on the Arizona Cardinals.
From PFF:
ARIZONA CARDINALS: INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINE
...
The Arizona Cardinals are represented on the NFL All Quarter Century Team.
Outrage!
That is the response at least from Arizona Cardinals fans and media when ESPN dropped their NFL All Quarter Century team, and while two players the Arizona Cardinals drafted, and two others who had short tenures with the team were included:
Alan Faneca, OG - Steelers (1998-2007), Jets (2008-09), Cardinals (2010)
One year with the Arizona Cardinals, but this dude was the best guard of the era.
Calais Campbell, DT - Cardinals (2008-16, 2025-present), Jaguars (2017-19), Ravens (2020-22), Falcons (2023), Dolphins (2024)
Campbell is back with the...
Reason 1: Isaiah shouldn’t have been the Cardinals’ 2020 1st round pick
Note: for those of you who have expressed your disapproval for ROTB articles involving former Cardinals or opinion-based threads, this long article (2 days to write) is not for you.
In a recent SI article by Donnie Druin, Isaiah Simmons, who was signed to a 1-year deal by the Packers this off-season, expressed appreciation for his new DC, Jeff Hafley, for giving him one specific role to try to “get really good at one thing first,”
Isaiah added, “That’s something...
The Arizona Cardinals have one of the best running back rooms in the NFL
With the offseason really in the off part of season, we have the listacles, the rankings and more coming out.
These are critical, in the sense they’re not important at all, but does give us discourse and a reason to remain mad and engaged.
So, today when PFF dropped their running back unit rankings I thought it was a fair one, but was also curious to see who was ahead of the Arizona Cardinals.
“9. Arizona Cardinals
James Conner’s brilliance over the past two seasons simply...
Who do you think leads the Arizona Cardinals in sacks in 2025?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Arizona Cardinals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Arizona Cardinals had a bad defensive front, especially rushing the passer in 2024.
So, they made growing that the last two offseasons a priority, whether it was Darius Robinson in the draft, in season with the acquisition of Baron Browning, and then obviously this offseason with...
Especially given the size of his main targets
Yesterday, with an assist from Chris Simms, we analyzed and discussed Kyler Murray’s baseball windup type of throws and how it would be a good idea if he can tighten up his release in order to get the ball out of the pocket more quickly and accurately.
The thing is —- Kyler has a quick release in his passing bag of tricks.
Cases in point:
Pinpoint TD laser to TE Dan Arnold.
Pinpoint quick slant TD to slot WR Greg Dortch.
Pinpoint laser TD to TE Zach Ertz.
Precise quick fade TD...
What adjustments do Kyler Murray need to make to be a Top 10 NFL QB in 2025?
First off, I am a fan of Chris Simms’ due diligence in watching and breaking down copious reels of NFL game films. While I occasionally do not concur with some aspects of his evaluations and rankings, I fully appreciate how Simms’ analyses and rankings provoke and stimulate healthy and robust conversations among NFL pundits and fans.
Recent case in point:
When I first perused this list, a general feel of “what if” was haunting me.
Cardinals fans are already excited for the upcoming season.
Happy Monday one and all!
The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are now in their quiet period. We can’t even fight over the upcoming NFL Free Agent and NFL Draft because we are done.
So, that begs the question: are you excited?
Everyone is excited during the pre-free agency period and then that either ramps up or completely implodes depending on how much you and the fanbase like what happened.
Then of course it grows again as we head into the NFL Draft.
However, with how the Arizona...
Hope all of you dads out there have a great day.
Happy Father’s Day one and all from Revenge of the Birds.
I was fortunate enough, maybe unfortunate, to have season tickets as a kid with my dad from 1995 to 1998 for the Arizona Cardinals.
Every Sunday dad and I would head down to Sun Devil Stadium for a game, we’d grab a quick bite to eat on our way in and then battle the heat in the south end zone.
It was crazy every week. Despite the terrible product on the field, the south end zone was like...
Safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson had this to say about the Cardinals’ new look defensive line
Arizona Cardinals’ second year safety Dadrion Taylor-Emerson, aka “Rabbit,” recently had a tremendously informative and entertaining interview with Dan Bickley and Vince Marotta of Arizona Sports Radio. This is so good, you really ought to hear it:
Perhaps the highlights of the show occurred when Rabbit was asked to offer his thoughts about the Cardinals new look defensive line and without blinking Rabbit exclaimed:
“They look like big ole woolly mammoths out there!”
Cardinals’ 2025 defensive front pf players 6-3+:
Discussing the Arizona Cardinals 2025 minicamp.
Happy Saturday one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals 2025 mandatory minicamp has come and gone and Jess and I are back to talk about it.
First off, we talk about the overall takeaways from the 2025 offseason for the Arizona Cardinals and what are thoughts are.
From there, Jess and I get into the Will Johnson injury and discuss a number of topics, including me talking about having a chat with a physical therapist who gave me his opinion on the situation, but with the caveat we only have the public information and obviously...
