beyond starved - no cardinals no suns no reason to watch baseball - living off world cup scraps

There's the Cornhole Championship on today....I'm not sure why it's on one of those channels with all the adult movies though?

Why isn’t Glendale hosting a WC game this year?

The NFL will not allow the Rams to play at the Glendale Galleria. Maybe if they get another fire or something they can.

Man the Diamondbacks have fallen off a cliff, so I agree but I'll still watch

Well, I believe the Cards need to finish in the 2-4 spots in the Conference standings to host a Wild Card game.

This might have already been posted, but if so, I didn't see it.

"This is the time of year that I HOPE that no player or coach gets arrested." No news is good news.

Michael Wilson, amid extension talks, hopes to stay in Arizona long-term.

"I would love to stay here and be fortunate enough to be an Arizona Cardinal for as long as my play dictates."

assuming WC means World Cup

i think the Phoenix metro being in triple digit temps this time of year has something to do with it

i get the stadium has AC, but its about the fans experience in the area outside of the actual game

cant say i disagree

Monti working to get out ahead of why a PJJ extension hasn't gotten done while they are sitting on 35 mil in cap space. I find this report very questionable.

Projecting sub-Chase Brown numbers. Yikes.

Will Johnson on the NFC West:"That's the best. You get to go against the best every week, and that's how you prove you're the best. I think we got a good opportunity in front of us to surprise a lot of people this year."(via

That is a strong rookie season, especially for one with QB concerns. Would have zero concerns about that

Sub-Bucky Irving numbers but okay

He’s asking $40 mil, which seems steep!

Isn't that in the ballpark for top-ish tackles? Or do the cardinals do the cardinal thing and trade a good player?

Except he’s not a top tackle.

 

[Card'em]

Highest annual compensation for tackles in the NFL is more like $30 mil. Last year PJJ mused in conversation that he'd like to make $40 mil some day. This is far removed from an actual contract demand.

 

[CFLredzoned]

I could have sworn the $40 million comment was like a year ago or more. Is he saying it again? Or is this just Weinfuss making it look like a new story and everybody else in the media piling on because there's nothing else to talk about?

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Sub-Bucky Irving numbers but okay

Those projected stats lineup pretty closely with Bijan Robinson’s rookie season, with the same TD vulture in Alligier on the team.

 

[Chopper0080]

I don't believe he is. I think this was leaked from the team or Weinfuss is aggregating his article from Nov 2025 where he spoke with PJJ and PJJ said if top pass rushers get paid 40 mil so should the top guys blocking them. It doesn't make sense for a player who has never made a Pro Bowl to ask for an extension that is approx 10 mil per year more than the highest OT salary in the league. No agent is going to seriously start at that number.

 

[Chopper0080]

Isn't that in the ballpark for top-ish tackles? Or do the cardinals do the cardinal thing and trade a good player?

The highest per year OT salary is Tunsil at 30.5 mil per year.

Yes...I believe this is either #content or the team is using Weinfuss.
