- Aug 30 Josh Weinfuss (X) The Cardinals had a few interesting cuts today: LB Owen Pappoe, DL Jonah Williams, CB Sean Murphy-Bunting and TE Teagan Quitoriano all stood out to me. The trade for Hunter Long was the writing on the wall for Quitoriano. Wasn't surprised by LB B.J. Ojulari, CB Elijah Jones or CB Starling Thomas V. With James Conner going on the IR/designated to return list, there's some clarity on his status and health. A few things of note that stood out: - The Cardinals kept seven wide receivers, as I projected. - Rookie S Wydett Williams Jr., who could've gone back to Ole Miss, made the roster. - Keeping three running backs likely means Jeremiyah Love will be good for Week 1. Here are all the cuts: LB Eugene Asante S Devyn Bobby TE Shawn Bowman LB Elliott Brown P Jack Browning S Hudson Clark CB Elijah Culp OL Ka’ena De Cambra TE Rivaldo Fairweather DL Cam Horsley RB Evan Hull OL Demontrey Jacobs OL Christian Jones CB Elijah Jones CB Kalen King DL Brodric Martin-Rhodes CB Sean…

- Aug 30 Theo Mackie (X) In retrospect, the Cardinals' offseason restructures ended up costing them. They added a $1.8m dead cap hit on SMB and a $2.5m cap hit on James Conner, compared to if they had released both players. Small potatoes but these things add up.
- Aug 30 Bo Brack (X) The Arizona Cardinals have released 34 players as roster cuts continue, including: OLB BJ Ojulari CB Sean Murphy-Bunting CB Eljiah Jones CB Starling Thomas V LB Owen Pappoe QB Kedon Slovis TE Teagan Quitoriano RB James Conner and DL Zach Carter were placed on IR/designated for return. TE Tip Reiman was placed on PUP.

- Aug 31 Josh Weinfuss (X) A few notable nuggets from Mike LaFleur's presser today: - Rookie RB Jeremiyah Love is "progressing really well" toward playing in Week 1 and he took another step yesterday and LaFleur said he'll take another step today. - LaFleur said the same for DB Garrett Williams. He's "progressing well" and is in "good spirits." Williams is in a ramp-up period and his status for Week 1 will go all the way into that week, LaFleur said. - James Conner was "not far off" from avoiding IR, LaFleur said. "It just was in the best interest of the player and the organization to give him a little bit more time. So again, I don't overly ask him, you just know. And, again, he's earned the right with all that. So we just thought it was in the best interest, he thought it was in the best interest to get a little bit more time." - CB Will Johnson is "progressing well" as he deals with a lower body injury, LaFleur said. MLF was purposefully vague because he can be this time of year. There won't be an…
