Kolb, Skelton Will Compete For Starting Job

Jun 18, 2014 5:16 AM

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt isn't going to hand out starting titles, which means Kevin Kolb and John Skelton will battle in camp. "Both guys are going to get opportunities because John certainly deserves it from the way that he played over the back half of the season and Kevin certainly deserves it from the reason that we went out, got him, and brought him in," Whisenhunt said of the team's two quarterbacks. Kolb started nine games last season, leading the Cardinals to a 3-6 record while completing 57.7 percent of his passes for 1,955 yards with nine touchdowns and eight interceptions. Arizona went 5-2 with Skelton under center, including wins in two of its final three games. Skelton, though, had similar numbers to Kolb, completing 54.9 percent of his passes for 1,913 yards with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

The Cardinals expect Calais Campbell to be with the team next season. Campbell, a free-agent defensive end, could receive the team's franchise tag. "Calais will be with us, rest assured," general manager Rod Graves said. "We will continue to focus on getting a long-term deal in place, and it's a process. But he will be an Arizona Cardinals player this year, and we are hoping certainly to extend that to a long-term deal. Conversations are continuing with his agent."
