Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals are a professional football team based in Glendale, Arizona, competing in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the NFC West division. Founded in 1898 in Chicago as the Morgan Athletic Club, the franchise is the oldest continuously run professional football team in the United States. The Cardinals moved to St. Louis in 1960, then to Arizona in 1988, settling in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Known for their resilient fan base and a history that includes two NFL championships (1925, 1947) and one Super Bowl appearance (XLIII in 2009), the Cardinals have fielded iconic players such as Larry Fitzgerald, Kurt Warner, and Pat Tillman. The team plays its home games at State Farm Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue with a retractable roof and natural grass field.

As of the 2024 season, the Arizona Cardinals are in a rebuilding phase under head coach Jonathan Gannon, who took over in 2023. The team finished the 2023 season with a 4-13 record, placing last in the NFC West. Key developments include the return of quarterback Kyler Murray from a torn ACL, the emergence of rookie offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr., and a focus on developing young talent through the draft. The Cardinals hold significant salary cap space and multiple high draft picks in 2024, positioning them for a roster overhaul. Recent games have shown competitive flashes but inconsistency, with the team aiming to improve its defensive unit and establish a consistent running game.
