Arizona Football Daily with Mike Jurecki, Tim Ring & Steve Keim

Huge NFL trade Wednesday as Buffalo sends Stefon Diggs to the Texans. Also today, the Cardinals missteps in handling the Terry McDonough grievance costs the team 3 million dollars. What exactly did they hire a "crisis manager" for? It appears while helping the team navigate the situation - he helped them drive the car right off a cliff. Plus, the Suns latest "big game" is Wednesday night at home against Cleveland. Winning or losing once again has major implications in the Wild West standings. 

Heavy on the basketball talk Monday as the Final Four is set for this upcoming weekend in Glendale. Plus, it's a star-studded Monday in the women's college game and the Suns face a huge challenge in New Orleans. If the Suns have any hope of escaping the play in tournament, is tonight a must-win?

The Suns may catch a huge break Friday night in Oklahoma City while the Cardinals size up Nabors and Odunze - is a draft day deal inevitable?

The NFL meeting are underway in Florida and on Monday the league votes to pass a rule change that has NFL defenders displeased.

The NCAA Tournament is underway and already one Cinderella is born on day one. A look at the madness of March both present and past. Also today, the Suns beat the Hawks Thursday night and now stare down the final 12 games of the regular season. Just how realistic is their "play in" fate?

The Cardinals 'heavy lifting' in free agency 2024 appears to be over but one could argue that the lifting wasn't really all that 'heavy'. The Cardinals add depth and maybe a trio of defensive starters but the team once again avoids spending the money to sign a real difference maker. Good strategy or a bit too 'thrifty' for Cards fans liking? 

Legal tampering began Monday morning in the NFL as player and teams rushed to the tables to consummate new deals.
