Cardinals’ 2nd round pick DE Calais Campbell finally agreed to terms for a 4-year contract earlier this week, leaving only top pick Dominick Rodgers-Cromartie unsigned as of the time.
In order to make room for Campbell on the 80-man roster, the Cardinals released veteran DE Bo Schobel who, I’m sure, will find work quickly.  When Rodgers-Cromartie [...]

Rookies Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Calais Campbell are poised to contribute great things to Arizona’s 2008-9 season.  One area gaining significant attention is blocking opponents’ kicks.  The Cards [...]
