NFL Personnel & Team Dynamics

The football world mourned the loss of former Cardinals coach Dave McGinnis, who passed away Monday at 74; McGinnis left behind a decorated career that included a tenure as head coach for the Arizona Cardinals and time as a respected Tennessee assistant. Meanwhile, the Cardinals organization is focusing intently on culture, as players indicated that new coordinator Mike LaFleur struck the correct tone in his initial team meeting, emphasizing that "every detail is a big detail" Elsewhere, intrigue continues to surround the Philadelphia Eagles as the draft approaches, largely due to the financial implications that have thus far disincentivized the team from trading away star receiver A.J. Brown ahead of the selection process.
