Raiders, Cardinals, Rams Deny Interest In McNabb

Sep 15, 2014 1:34 AM

The St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals and Oakland Raiders all answered no, either publicly or privately, when asked Thursday if they were thinking about trading for the Philadelphia Eagles' six-time Pro Bowl quarterback. Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo shot down a Philadelphia Inquirer report that the team had offered a second-round draft pick (No. 33 overall) and free safety Oshiomogho Atogwe to the Eagles for McNabb. "There's nothing to that," Spagnuolo said, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "We're not involved in that. At this time of year, there are going to be all kind of things thrown out there. But no, there's nothing to it." League sources indicated to La Canfora on Wednesday that the Cardinals, Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills are interested in McNabb. Several executives on other clubs pointed to the Raiders as being in the heaviest pursuit, although two unnamed team executives told the Oakland Tribune on Thursday that they weren't aware of any calls to the Eagles about McNabb.

Cardinals Were Also Interested In Wimbley

Sep 30, 2014 7:17 PM

The Arizona Cardinals were among the teams interested in trading for former Browns linebacker Kamerion Wimbley before they dealt him to Oakland. The big holdup with them, like other teams, was Wimbley's contract. Wimbley has voided the final year of his deal through performance incentives. Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt did not want to give up a high draft pick for Wimbley without a longer-term deal in place. The Cardinals eventually signed Joey Porter.

Cardinals Sign Joey Porter To Three-Year Deal

Feb 6, 2014 9:01 AM

Linebacker Joey Porter agreed to a three-year contract Friday with the Cardinals after making the Washington Redskins his second visit. ?It is exciting on many levels,? coach Ken Whisenhunt said. ?Two areas that come to mind are his productivity on the field, (because) getting 26? sacks over the last two years is pretty impressive, especially considering last year with not even playing a full season. Also the mentality he brings, it?s something we have made great progress with as a team. Having another veteran player, who has had great success in this league, to contribute to that will only help us in an area defensively where we want to improve.? Porter had nine sacks last season with Miami before the Dolphins cut him. He is expected to fill the starting spot held by departing free agent Chike Okeafor and gives the Cards a needed pass-rush threat.
