CARDINALS RUMORS & GOSSIP

This QB could make Leach look like Houdini

IF MIKE LEACH pulls this one off, fans will have to consider abandoning The Pirate moniker and embracing a new one. Like The Magician. Brandon Huffman of Scout.com reported late yesterday that Washington State has just offered a scholarship to Los Angeles-area 4-star quarterback Troy Williams. Here's why landing the senior-to-be from Narbonne High would be Houdini-esque...

Cardinals notebook: QB play is everything

You can break down the Cardinals roster position by position. Rate individual performances from a year ago. Project how each player will do in 2012. But how the team performs this season will largely come down to one thing: the quarterback play. If the Cardinals don't receive better quarterback play than a year ago, they won't contend for a playoff spot. It won't matter...

William Gay opens as starting cornerback for Cardinals

Last season, AJ Jefferson was the starting cornerback for the Cardinals opposite Patrick Peterson. However, it appears he will have very stiff competition to remain the starter. The Cardinals brought in William Gay through free agency, Jamell Fleming in the 3rd round of the draft, and also will get a former starter, Greg Toler, back from an injury that caused him to miss the entirety...

Calais Campbell spends over $2000 on D-line dinner

Exactly two weeks ago, the Arizona Cardinals locked up Calais Campbell with a five-year, $55 million contract, which included a $15 million signing bonus and $31 million in guarantees. So what does the 6-foot-8, 300 pound defensive end do to celebrate his new-found wealth? Why, eat of course. And rather heartily at that, with his fellow lineman joining him for a mighty (and rather...

Cardinals’ Beanie Wells’ knee injury could be more serious than originally thought

Early this offseason, Cardinals running back Beanie Wells had surgery on his knee, a procedure he called minor. However, that no longer appears to be the case. Wells has admitted he still doesn’t know when he’ll be able to practice and now is saying that the surgery was “more complicated” than repairing his damaged meniscus. Wells has a history of injury problems, particularly...

Fitzgerald's world travels a chance to help others

Larry Fitzgerald is back from his latest globe-trotting adventure, this one to Southeast Asia. He jokes that the only place he's never been is Antarctica, and he plans to visit there ''late next February.'' But while the Arizona Cardinals' star wide receiver's travels are certainly something he truly enjoys, he says it's also given him a chance to...

Beanie Wells’ surgery was more complicated than a meniscus

Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells was asked if his offseason surgery was to repair a torn meniscus.  He responded by saying it ”was a little more complicated than that.” Wells didn’t go into details of what kind of procedure was done. All we can do now is wonder what exactly was wrong with Wells’ knee last season.  My guess is that the Cardinals...

Could the Arizona Cardinals be in the market for a veteran running back?

The Arizona Cardinals currently have two running backs on the roster in the midst of rehabbing from knee injuries with questionable return dates. Could the Cardinals be in the market for a veteran running back as the team heads into training camp? Despite the injuries to Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams, the Cardinals have not made any moves yet in the offseason other than signing...

Cardinals’ Beanie Wells “doesn’t know” when he’ll be healthy

Former first round pick Beanie Wells has had an injury prone career, but finally got it all together last year to lead the team with 1047 yards and 10 touchdowns on 245 carries. However, after the season, he had yet another knee surgery, a minor one, but Wells is still not practicing and says he “doesn’t know” when he’ll be ready to practice. Wells was already facing a decrease...

Cards notebook: Campbell deal a cap boon

The Cardinals accomplished one of their major offseason goals last week by signing defensive end Calais Campbell to a five-year, 55 million contract that includes 31 million in guarantees. It's a deal that helps the team on a couple fronts. First, Campbell is probably their best defensive lineman, with Darnell Dockett a close second. Campbell is just 25 and had eight sacks last...

Kurt Warner: Past NFL greats

As a St. Louis Rams fan I was used to mediocrity in the eighties and nineties. I was used to ending up behind the San Francisco 49ers in the division. The Rams acquisition of free agent, Trent Green, in 1998 changed the fate of the franchise. Incredibly fast receivers combined with a QB that was reported to be top shelf left the Rams confidently marching into the 1999 season....
