Floyd earns shot at larger role for Cardinals
TEMPE, Ariz. The cynical view is that the Cardinals wasted a first-round draft pick on wide receiver Michael Floyd. With how badly the Cards need help on their offensive line, and with how little Floyd has impacted the offense this season, why shop for luxury when you still have basic needs to fill?
But that view is also short-sighted and short on evidence, with only the first...

I promised last week to be earlier with this posting, and I delivered, although it’s admittedly still later than I’d like to get these names out. We’ll shoot for late Friday or early Saturday for next week unless there’s someone worth stashing from the Rams vs. Cardinals game Thursday night.
As always, this is not intended for teams that have good depth filling out their...

UDFA Laron Byrd is now over 1st rounder Floyd in depth chart for Arizona
I know it is really early to call anyone a bust that hasn’t even taken a snap in the NFL, but I was so high on Floyd earlier this year.
