NFL News and Rumors: Arizona Cardinals

Cardinals Hire Former Texans Coach David Culley

The Arizona Cardinals have hired former Houston Texans coach David Culley as their new wide receivers coach. Culley was fired by the Texans after just one season, but he has a long history of success as an NFL coach. He was the assistant head coach and wide receivers coach for the Buffalo Bills from 2017 to 2018, and he was the wide receivers coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2013 to 2016.

Culley is known for his ability to develop young receivers, and he is expected to have a similar impact on the Cardinals' young receiving corps. The Cardinals have a number of talented young receivers, including Christian Kirk, Rondale Moore, and Andy Isabella. Culley's experience and expertise should help them reach their full potential.

Cardinals Sign Former Chiefs Safety Tyrann Mathieu

The Arizona Cardinals have signed former Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu to a three-year, $21 million contract. Mathieu is one of the best safeties in the NFL, and he is expected to be a major contributor to the Cardinals' defense. He is a three-time Pro Bowler and a two-time All-Pro selection.

Mathieu is known for his versatility and playmaking ability. He can play both free safety and strong safety, and he is a dangerous pass rusher. He has 26 career interceptions, including three interceptions returned for touchdowns.

Cardinals Trade for Former Browns Quarterback Baker Mayfield

The Arizona Cardinals have traded for former Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. The Cardinals sent a 2023 first-round pick, a 2024 second-round pick, and a 2024 third-round pick to the Browns in exchange for Mayfield and a 2023 fifth-round pick. Mayfield is a former No. 1 overall pick who has had a tumultuous career with the Browns. He led the Browns to their first playoff victory in over 20 years in 2020, but he struggled in 2021 and was benched in favor of Deshaun Watson.

The Cardinals are hoping that Mayfield can rediscover his 2020 form in Arizona. He will have a chance to compete for the starting job with Kyler Murray, who is coming off of a disappointing season.
