Cardinals Ink DE Landon Cohen, Reach Roster Limit

May 16th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in News

The Cardinals have signed defensive end Landon Cohen, a move that puts the team at its roster limit of 90.

The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Cohen has played in 25 NFL games with five starts. He played in one game for the New England Patriots last season. Cohen was a seventh-round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in 2008. He played in 20 games in two seasons with the Lions, four of them as a starter. Cohen played in two games for Jacksonville in 2010 before going to the Patriots.

The signing Wednesday doesn’t preclude further moves, but any addition would require someone to be dropped from the roster.

Fitzgerald Agrees that Saints Players Should Be Suspended

May 8th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in News

Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is speaking out on the recent “bounty gate” involving the New Orleans Saints.

The Pro Bowl WR says that those suspended in the Saints scandal are not “bad men,” but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell needed to suspend them according to NFL.com.

“I think it’s unfortunate … that authority figures in the league implemented such a thing.

“I think Roger Goodell, our commissioner, had to do something to let everybody know that was not going to be tolerated, and moving forward, this is not something that is going to be acceptable,” Fitzgerald said.

“I’ve known Jonathan Vilma for a very long time … Will Smith actually hosted me on my visit to Ohio State in college,” Fitzgerald said. “I’ve known these guys a really long time and they’re not bad men by any stretch of the imagination, so I feel bad that they are losing game checks and losing an opportunity to make a living.”

Cards Ink Safety James Sanders

April 5th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in 2012 Free Agency, News

Free agent safety James Sanders has agreed to a one-year contract with the Cardinals.

A 2005 fourth round pick out of Fresno State by the Patriots, Sanders had 341 tackles, one sack and eight interceptions in his six seasons in Foxborough before he was released after last year’s lockout.

Signed to a one-year deal by the Atlanta Falcons, the 5-foot-10, 210-pound Sanders started six of 15 games and recorded 41 tackles and three passes defensed in 45 percent of the team’s defensive snaps last season. Sanders adds veteran depth to the back-end of a Cardinals defense that played a large part of last season without starter Kerry Rhodes.

Cardinals Restructure the Deal for Center Lyle Sendlein

April 4th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in News

The Cardinals have gotten some cap space, as they have restructured the contract of center Lyle Sendlein.

Signed to a five-year, $16.25 million contract last July, Sendlein was scheduled to receive a $2.4 million base salary in 2012. Under the restructured contract, Sendlein’s base salary has been reduced to $700,000 with the remaining $1.7 million taken as a signing bonus that will be prorated over the last four years of the deal.

The simple restructure — which was similar to teammate Daryn Colledge’s restructure — saves $1.275 million in cap space in 2012, adding $425,000 to Sendlein’s cap numbers in 2013-15.

Undrafted out of Texas in 2007, Sendlein started two games as a rookie before taking over the full-time starting role in 2008. Sendlein has missed just three offensive snaps over the last four seasons — none in 2011 — and his consecutive games (74) and consecutive starts (64) streaks rank fourth among active NFL centers.
