On Monday, he was placed on injured reserve which means the Cardinals will be without the heartbeat of their team for at least four more games. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Lorenzo Alexander talk about what Baker's absence means for the defense and the team as a whole. Plus, discussions on how the Cardinals let a 21-point lead slip away in the second half against the Giants, the improvement shown by QB Joshua Dobbs, James Conner's huge day against the G-Men, Dennis Gardeck making the most of his opportunities and much more.

As the offseason continues, Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi, and former Cardinals receiver Frank Sanders break down Arizona's key free agent additions, potential roster battles, and the team’s evolving identity under new head coach Mike LaFleur. From the physical running back duo of James Conner and Tyler Allgeier to the veteran presence of receiver Kendrick Bourne and the continued rise of Marvin Harrison Jr., the crew explores how competition and leadership could lead to a balanced, high-powered offense. They also take a closer look at the defense, including the return of defensive lineman Roy Lopez and the addition of safety Andrew Wingard, who started 16 games for the Jaguars in 2025. Plus, how might the reported signing of return specialist Devin Duvernay impact special teams under new coordinator Michael Ghobrial?

It’s that time of year when NFL news moves at warp speed. The free agent period has arrived, beginning with the negotiating window ahead of Wednesday’s new league year, when deals can officially be finalized. The Arizona Cardinals appear to be adding more power to their running back room. The team first restructured the contract of James Conner, keeping him in Arizona. Then on Monday, reports surfaced that former Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier will be joining the team. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi, and former Cardinals linebacker Rob Fredrickson discuss the physical punch that Conner and the 225-pound Allgeier could bring to the offense. They also break down other reported moves, including the re-signings of kicker Chad Ryland and punter Blake Gillikin, along with another contract restructuring with cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting.
