Cardinals linebacker recruiting top pass rusher in uncertain offseason
The Arizona Cardinals badly need a top pass rusher off the edge. Linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. knows this after playing his first season with the team. He sees an opportunity for the Cardinals.
The Las Vegas Raiders are undergoing changes. They fired head coach Antonio Pierce and have hired former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll to replace him.
After years of losing, many speculate that defensive end Maxx Crosby could be looking to get out.
That's where Wilson comes in. He recently reposted something Crosby had on social media, adding that Crosby would "look good it Cardinal Red."

Crosby could become available and the Cardinals would of course look into it.
He has been selected to the Pro Bowl four consecutive seasons. He had 7.5 sacks in 12 games last season and 34.5 sacks over his last three seasons. He is 27 years old.
He has two years remaining on his contract and is due to make more than $22.2 million in 2025 and then more than $18.8 million in 2026, although he has no guaranteed money remaining on his deal.
With more than $70 million in cap space this offseason, the Cardinals can make this move.
We will see if Crosby actually becomes available and whether the Cardinals will be players in trying to acquire him.

We hit 77 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We've reached 77 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 77 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 77 Who's wearing it now: T Thayer Munford Munford was the final pick for the Raiders in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was considered a mid-round level talent going into the draft, so getting the standout Ohio State product at pick 238 was considered a good get. Coming into last season, he was given every opportunity to be the team's starting right tackle, but couldn't hold onto it. He got injured in camp as well as the season and was outplayed by rookie third round pick DJ Glaze. These days the team is trying Munford at guard to see if he can carve out and NFL career there. Who wore it best: DE Ike Lassiter Lassiter came to the Raiders in 1965 after three years in Denver. Each of his five years with the Raiders, he put up double digit sacks including the Raiders 1967 AFL Championship season in which they faced the Packers in Super Bowl II. That season, Lassiter was a holy terror off the edge, putting up 17 sacks and heading to the Pro Bowl and named a second-team All Pro. Two seasons later, he put up 15 sacks and was once again a second team All Pro. In total he had 61.5 sacks in five seasons. If sacks had been an official stat at that time, that would be good for third in Raiders franchise history. Honorable Mention: DE Lyle Alzado Alzado spent the final four seasons of his 15-year NFL career with the Raiders. He joined the team at the age of 33 and in his second season, he was a big part of the Raiders third Super Bowl win.

Punishment Decided For MLB Announcer Who Accidentally Said Homophobic Slur
Punishment Decided For MLB Announcer Who Accidentally Said Homophobic Slur originally appeared on The Spun. Punishment has been decided for the MLB announcer who accidentally said a homophobic slur during a game on Saturday, June 21. Advertisement Chip Caray, a veteran American sports broadcaster who calls games for the St. Louis Cardinals network, made an unfortunate slip-up while reading a promo. Caray, 60, made an unfortunate mistake in the top of the fourth inning against the Cincinnati Reds. Caray was reading a promo for the Cardinals' Disability Pride Night. The veteran MLB announcer immediately recognized his mistake. His on-air slip-up was followed by about 30 seconds of silence. "Disability Pride Night is Thursday, July 10 and with a themed ticket, fans take home a Cardinals cap featuring the Disability Pride (Expletive) and Cardinals in brail," he said. After about 30 seconds of on-air silence, Caray continued with the broadcast. Advertisement Front Office Sports has reported that Caray will not be punished for his on-air slip-up, which seemed like a truly honest mistake. "St. Louis Cardinals announcer Chip Caray will not be suspended or punished for now despite uttering a homophobic slur during a Cardinals game telecast Saturday, sources tell Front Office Sports," the report states. "FanDuel Sports Network Midwest declined to comment when FOS reached out on Saturday afternoon. But sources said the network is not disciplining Caray, the son of the late sportscaster Skip Caray and grandson of the late legendary announcer Harry Caray. Instead, the network is chalking it up to an 'honest' mistake during a live read by an announcer who meant no insult to any viewers."
