CB Marshall One of the Cards Targets in Free Agency

February 19th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in 2012 Free Agency, News

Pro Football Weekly reports that after Calais Campbell, the Cards are likely to target CB Richard Marshall as their next big signing as far as own free agents.

Aside from DE Calais Campbell, who is considered to be a strong candidate for the franchise tag, our Cardinals sources tell us the team’s top re-signing priority is probably CB Richard Marshall, a free-agent pickup last offseason who ended up being a lifesaver due to his ability to play both cornerback and safety after starting FS Kerry Rhodes went down with a lengthy foot injury. Marshall, a two-year starter for the Panthers before heading to the desert, played well enough to have some decent value on the open market this offseason.

Cardinals Don’t Want to Lose DE Calais Campbell

February 17th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in 2012 Free Agency, News

Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this off-season, but general manager Rod Graves says the team has no intention of letting him get away.

“Calais will be with us, rest assured,” Graves told Arizona Sports 620 according to the team’s official website. “We will continue to focus on getting a long-term deal in place and it’s a process. But he will be an Arizona Cardinals player this year and we are hoping certainly to extend that to a long-term deal. Conversations are continuing with his agent.”

A 2008 second-round pick out of Miami, the 6-foot-8, 300-pound Campbell has 180 tackles, 21 sacks and 18 passes defensed as a full-time starter over the last three seasons.

Campbell could receive the franchise tag, which is projected to be worth around $10.6 million in 2012.

Haley and the Cardinals Back to Talking

January 24th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in News

It seems like the Cardinals love affair with having Todd Haley join the staff isn’t quite over yet.

Jason LaCanfora of NFL Network is reporting that the former Cardinals OC and Chiefs head coach is again meeting with the Cardinals about joining their staff in some way from an offensive standpoint.

Haley and the Cards have met a couple times already, and it was thought that he would rejoin the team, but the sides couldn’t agree on a deal, which is odd that they are back at the table again today.
