    It felt like a miracle to look up at the end of last season and see the Cardinals defense somehow rank among the NFL’s middle class. Nick Rallis, their defensive coordinator, was not in the conversation for the NFL Assistant Coach of the Year award, but perhaps he should have been. Consider the five defensive linemen who played more than 250 snaps: Zaven Collins, L.J. Collier, Dante Stills, Roy Lopez and Naquan Jones.

    A former franchise star will be back in the Arizona Cardinals’ building next week. No, it does not appear as if Patrick Peterson is returning to the defensive backfield that he dominated from 2011-20. But he will be in Arizona to retire, ESPN reported, with the franchise that defined his NFL career. The reunion is set for Monday, April 14, the Cardinals announced, when Peterson will participate in a news conference at the Cardinals' Tempe facility.

    With each of the Arizona Cardinals’ marquee offseason moves, Kyler Murray has offered his excitement on social media and expressed optimism regarding the future of the franchise.

In the interview, he restated his view of general manager Monti Ossenfort’s offseason work.

    The Arizona Cardinals’ off-season makeover keeps chugging along. Since the start of March, they’ve extended multiple internal free agents, signed three starters on the defensive line and inked Trey McBride to a record-setting deal. Now, the next opportunity to significantly improve the roster — barring a major surprise — is at this month’s NFL draft.

Interesting data that reinforces the value of focusing on the trenches in round 1

Teams are getting wiser to positional value and, more importantly, the lack of availability of tackle talent outside of the early rounds. I've highlighted OT as one of the "Tier 1" positions that NFL teams need to draft early https://t.co/uKvC6Fs7kN

Per Cardinals PR, the team has sold over 7,000 new season tickets this offseason, “on pace to lead the league.” Their renewal rate over 90% is the team’s highest in over a decade.
