Arizona Cardinals hold the No.1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and many people want them to pick Oklahoma’s quarterback Kyler Murray with that selection. But even if that is true, Cardinals don’t want to reveal their cards too soon.

Cardinals’ general manager Steve Keim recently spoke with reporters and said that the organization is still undecided on their selection when draft officially kicks off on Thursday, April 25.

“The fact that I don’t know what we’re doing, but everyone else does, that’s concerning,” – said Keim on Tuesday. “We are not done with this process. We have not made a decision on the No. 1 overall pick.”

Ever since Arizona Cardinals hired Kliff Kingsbury as their new head coach, the majority of NFL analysts had them selecting Murray with the first overall pick. The 21-year-old is seen as a perfect fit for Kingsbury’s offense, who praised the Heisman Trophy winner on several occasions during his time at Texas Tech. Arizona also started taking phone calls about a potential trade for QB Josh Rosen, whom they selected 10th overall in 2018 after moving up in the draft.

On the other hand, both Keim and Kingsbury have been full of praises for Rosen in recent weeks and didn’t give any indication that they are willing to move on from him.

“He’s been phenomenal,” – said Kingsbury. “He couldn’t have been better honestly. First one to show up. Engaging. Into it. Very sharp, as everybody knows. Can’t say enough good things about my interactions with him so far.”

“We’ve had good communication. He is a pro’s pro.” – added Keim. “And the one thing I’ve appreciated the most since we’ve drafted him. The kid has an unbelievable amount of mental toughness. You saw that last year as he took a beating and we went through the injuries that we went through up front. Physical toughness, mental toughness — Josh Rosen has it all.”

It seems like Cardinals aren’t willing to reveal their plans until the draft, so anything is possible. We will just have to wait and see.

Short after losing their head coach Bruce Arians, the Arizona Cardinals will have to look for a new quarterback as well. Just like Arians, Carson Palmer announced that he is retiring from NFL. He revealed the decision via a letter posted on Cardinals’ social media and official website.

“Over the years, I’ve had teammates who decided to hang it up and I would ask them how they knew when it was time to walk away,” – wrote the 38-year-old. “The answer was almost always the same: You just know. For me, that time is now. Why? Quite simply, I just know.”

This means that Palmer’s NFL career actually ended in Week 7 when he broke his arm in a match against the Los Angeles Rams and was ruled out for the rest of the season. Although the player said back in December that he feels good about returning to the field, it looks like he had a change of hearts.

Carson Palmer played college football at USC for five years, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2002. Cincinnati Bengals took him with the first overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft but didn’t allow him to take a single snap in his rookie season. He was named the team’s starting quarterback in 2004 and led the Bengals to their first winning season in 15 years in 2005. Palmer reached the playoffs with Bengals in 2009 once again, before asking for a trade. He then spent time with Raiders before signing with Cardinals and reviving his career. He compiled a 92-88-1 record with these three teams, finishing his NFL career with 46,247 yards, 294 touchdowns, and 187 interceptions.

Prior to Palmer announcing his retirement, Cardinals’ head coach Bruce Arians revealed he is also walking away from the NFL after 42 years of coaching and 5 years at the helm of the team. Arians explained his decision by saying that he wants to spend more time with his family.
