NFL Ticket Broker > Arizona Cardinals Tickets

The Arizona Cardinals were dealt a huge blow when Kurt Warner announced his retirement. The nearly 40-year-old quarterback was never going to be the long-term answer behind center, but he was winning in the present and was a huge draw at the University of Phoenix Stadium, meaning, at the very least, Arizona Phoenix tickets sales were at a very healthy level all season long. The 2010 version of the football team may struggle through the NFL season schedule and that could result in a dip in the money the owners are willing to spend in the future.

The team that had been to the Super Bowl just two seasons ago and made a decent run in the playoffs this past season came into the 2010 offseason with quite a few needs. They resigned a couple of tight ends to one-year contracts, resigned the back up center and signed another lineman to add depth up front, and added a couple of linebackers to help improve the Cardinals defense.

The team still has plenty of needs going into the NFL draft and for the remainder of free agency. Arizona really needs a talented linebacker to help institute some sort of a pass rush. The Cardinals also need another quarterback to backup Matt Leinart, who will finally be given the starting nod for sure after losing it to Warner a couple of years ago.

The team released Antrel Rolle so they could be in search of a new free safety if they are not sure Matt Ware can handle the job. I already mentioned a blitzing linebacker, but the Cardinals also might add depth to the interior linebacker group. Lastly, assuming Anquan Boldin is not traded, the team just needs an extra wide receiver in case of injury.

Arizona Cardinals tickets for this new season will be interesting. The team is far from out of the running in the NFC West, even without Warner. Leinart could very well finally be ready to take the helm and keep the offense as deadly as ever. The defense could be vastly improved too, to cover for any new deficiencies in the Cards offense.
