Arizona Cardinals: Tanking or Rebuilding?

For the NFL, it's March 20th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update.

The Arizona Cardinals made big changes heading into the 2026 offseason, firing head coach Jonathan Ganon, and parting ways with.

Quarterback Kyler Murray. General manager Monty Austin Fort and owner Michael Bidwill decided a fresh start was best for both spots.

Now the team has first time head coach Mike LaFloor, but no clear plan at quarterback. Earlier this week at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Austin Fort spoke publicly, but the moves left the Cardinals looking uncompetitive for.

Next season, fans and experts agree it's not a playoff year ahead, with plenty of roster holes to fill.

League insiders are buzzing, and one general manager told reporter Jason Locke and Fora that Arizona is clearly tanking on purpose.

That comment spread fast, questioning if the front office is prioritizing draft picks over wins.

But digging deeper, true tanking is rare and risky in the NFL.

Teams like the Miami Dolphins faced heavy penalties just a few years ago for trying it, losing picks and fighting their owner.

Players and coaches won't throw games when jobs are on the line.

Meanwhile, Austin Fort faces real pressure after just 15 wins in three years.

A week 2026 could heat up his seat, especially with cash and draft picks available to build now rather than wait.
