The Arizona Cardinals’ Chief Financial Officer and multiple other employees have been laid off by the team, numerous sources told Betting Odds.

Longtime CFO Greg Lee was one of three high-level employees given the ax by the Cardinals. The others were the Vice President of Corporate Partnerships and the Vice President of Digital Content & Creative.

Several lower-level employees also lost their jobs in the shakeup. The total number of employees laid off was in the double digits, per sources.

Lee had been with the Cardinals since 2006 and was its CFO for the past 15 years.

Fans: We want the Playoffs!

Bidwill: Layoffs? OK! Don't ever say I don't listen to the fans!

My friend was one of the people laid off.

Hopefully they'll all land on their feet somewhere.

Someone definitely deserved to lose their job over that fiasco.

If you follow them on LinkedIn, they have also been hiring and have other openings. Also, other teams and the NFL have done similar, recently.

Wasn’t your friend a coach or was that someone else’s friend?

This is Walls

I’m pretty confident Bidwill was told by the league to get his house in order or they Sterling/Sarver him. Looks a lot like what happened in SF post-Harbaugh

That's what I was thinking too.

This could be part of why the Cards...the NFL and other teams have been laying off some staff. The almost $7 billion anti-trust class action lawsuit has been certified and the NFLs last appeal was denied. The trial is slated to start in February, so this person is speculating that a settlement will probably come down ahead of that.

Teams like the Cards, with family owners who have no money sources outside the team, would have a harder time absorbing a large judgement.

4-13 with them; 4-13 without them.

ALL NFL owners can print money. Don't believe the cries of poverty.

They have a new Chief Operating Officer that started recently. This will be him restructuring the business.

He's also opening a new sales office over the road from the training complex and adding 40 new season ticket salespeople in there.

He was a coach and his contract expired this month.

I love the Cardinals so much. Part of me thinks it would super duper cool to work for them.

Hate to see anyone lose their jobs. Sports biz is a tough one — even for the office folk.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Just some of who they've hired in the last month. Layoffs make headlines, but it's not like they are just cutting costs...sounds more like a restructure or reallocation of resources to me.

I think I even started a thread a few months ago, to show their LinkedIn posts and things they've been doing on the business side of the team.

 

[jbjarko]

One thing pops out, they're all VERY young.

Imagine getting laid off because you couldn't sell season ticket packages at full price during a tank season. Cardinals Glassdoor will likely be fire very soon.
