Cardinals Ranked 10th

Cardinals Ranked 10th Overall in Madden 07

Offense: (3)-- Never thought I'd see the day the Cardinals have a respected offense. But with Edge (97) holding it down at RB, and two stars at WR in Larry Fitzgerald (93) and Anquan Boldin (92), they are a force. Like the Bengals they lack a top TE, that would make this attack even more dangerous.

Defense: (3)-- They actually aren't that bad. They have two solid ends in Bertrand Berry (93) and Chike Okafor (87). They have a stud MLB in Karlos Dansby (90). They could be a lot worse.

Outlook: This seems like a team you could select, your buddy will laugh at you and then say "Oh wait they have Fitz, Boldin and Edge." You could do some damage with that crew. And if you’re feeling lucky, trot out Leinart (81) to run the Cards' high powered O.

Leinart a No Go!

Arizona Cardinals say no go! Matt Leinart apparently is seeking more money than the No. 10 overall pick typically has been paid.

Matt Leinart spent much of last week in Arizona working out and getting in some throwing. He has however now left Arizona and gone back to Southern California where he waits for a call to fly back to Arizona.

Cardinals Sign Deuce Lutui

Arizona went out and got the best running back in free agency, so it stood to reason to get a stellar offensive lineman in the draft for him. And that's why head coach Dennis Green took USC guard Taitusi Lutui in the second round, and now "Deuce" has signed a four-year contract.

The Cardinals have had their share of holdouts over the years, but Lutui said he was anxious to reach agreement with the team he cheered while growing up in nearby Mesa. "It's something I discussed with my agent, that I wanted to play right away and make my mark on the field," Lutui said.
