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.
Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells is undergoing another knee surgery today according to Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic.
Wells had a torn meniscus repaired in September of 2010.
Despite missing two games last season, the Ohio State alum registered 1,047 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.
Former Oakland coach Hue Jackson is in conversations with the Cardinals about their vacant quarterbacks coaching job, league sources said Sunday.
Former Chiefs coach Todd Haley, who had previously been the Cardinals’ wide receivers coach, was the first choice for the opening but he and the team could not agree on the exact scope of the role and Haley is exploring other options.
Jackson, who was fired by new Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie earlier this month, met with new St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher last Wednesday about the team’s offensive coordinator job, a position that eventually went to former New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. Jackson went 8-8 as Oakland’s coach after spending the 2010 season as the team’s offensive coordinator.
The Dolphins will closely monitor the health and availability of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.
In addition to the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN says to count the Cardinals interest in Manning as the real deal. The Cardinals have had a habit of bringing in veteran stars(Emmitt Smith, Edgerrin James, and Kurt Warner).

Family parties around the NFL have always been a staple in my family. My first memory from a family party was Super Bowl XVII on January 30th 1983.
While that was fun, finally in 2006 it was my turn to host my first Super Bowl party, a bash complete with food, games, and the two best teams that season in the league.
The menu was pretty basic, yet effective. Pizza, wings, pasta, red potatoes, a veggie and cheese tray, and even fruit salad. The party kicked off with some squares, a football tradition, and even some football bingo with some small prizes for those lucky enough to take home a game. Finally at 6:25pm, it was kickoff of Super Bowl XL.
While I have gone back and watched the game probably about 3-5 times, the real memories of that party is not the game, but the fact that it was all about the people that attended.
We had a number of people rooting for both teams, so the game vibe was pretty solid, which was a cool element to the party. Add to the fact the game was close, there was a lot of rooting during the contest.
There was a healthy mix of people that included relatives and friends. The conversation during the game centered not just on football, but on the holidays that had passed just a few weeks before, new jobs, new relationships, and even about other sports like baseball and basketball.
That’s the best part about football parties. It’s the games, the food, and most important, the people that make the game great, like the family and friends you spend it with.
Cardinals fans had their chances for a party back in 2008 when the team made the Super Bowl. If you remember the parties in Arizona that week, they were some of the best I will ever remember!
February 6th is another chance to create memories at yet another Super Bowl party, and now there’s a perfect way to figure out just who to invite!
Visa has come out with the Visa’s YOU+TEN Draft app, and it’s a perfect way to have some fun figuring out who to invite over for the big game on the first Sunday in February, or if your actually lucky enough to win the sweepstakes – WHO to take to the game!
Super Bowl XLVI – another chance to create that connection with family and friends once again. Don’t miss out on it.

A couple of assistant coaches are coming back to the Cardinals in 2012, as the team announced today they have have re-signed the five assistant coaches whose contracts expired following season.
Returning coaches include Russ Grimm, the team’s assistant head coach/offensive line coach. The 52-year-old Hall of Fame offensive lineman has been a head coaching candidate with the Steelers and Bills in recent years.
Joining Grimm are special teams coach Kevin Spencer, tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens, running backs coach Tommie Robinson and defensive line coach Ron Aiken. Grimm and Kitchens each got two-year contracts.
The Cards have reached a deal with TE coach Freddie Kitchens. He inked a two-year contract to remain with the team according to XTRA 910 AM. The Cards are scheduled to bring in two candidates on Monday to interview for the QB coach position, vacated when Chris Miller was fired recently.
