With 77 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 77. We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are now 11 weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 77 days away. As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals. Who has worn No. 77? Cardinals players to wear No. 77 No. 77 is retired. The last player to wear it was tackle Stan Mauldin. He played for the Chicago Cardinals in the 40s. He played in 1946 and was a starter on the team's only championship in 1947. Then, in 1948, he played in the season opener and tragically died of a heart attack. Because of his contribution to the championship and the tragic nature of his death, the team retired the number.

NFL announces dates, locations of 24 preseason joint practices
NFL announces dates, locations of 24 preseason joint practices The NFL announced 24 joint preseason practices. Here are the teams, dates and locations. The Arizona Cardinals will hold a joint practice in August with the Denver Broncos on Aug. 14. It was announced along with 23 other joint practices around the NFL. With only three preseason games, joint practices has been the new trend. Teams' starters can get competitive, controlled reps in practice against another team, getting them the reps they needed before the season without having to play them as much in the preseason. In the controlled settings, it limits injury risk, although it does not eliminate it. The NFL announced all 24 scheduled practices on Wednesday. Below are all those practices.

Arizona Cardinals offseason report card featuring Cards Wire
Arizona Cardinals offseason report card featuring Cards Wire Cards Wire's Jess Root talks about all the Cardinals' offseason moves and what they can do in 2025. The Arizona Cardinals have completed their offseason program for 2025, wrapping up mandatory minicamp. It concludes an offseason of major moves on defense in free agency and the draft. I was a guest on Proline TV's Arizona Cardinals offseason report card to discuss offseason moves, draft picks and insights for what the depth chart will look like during the season. Host Greg DePalma and I ran down the Cardinals' moves in free agency, where the new additions fit, who will have the biggest impact. The biggest impact will come on defense as the offense remains largely the same. We run down the Cardinals' draft picks and where they will figure in as rookies in 2025. I talk about how linebacker Cody Simon and cornerback Will Johnson are the two rookies likely to have the biggest roles. I wonder how the deep defensive line room will shake out and am bullish about both sides of the ball, giving my season expectations for the team. Watch the full episode below.
