7 Arizona Cardinals players who would be good fits on US flag football team
7 Arizona Cardinals players who would be good fits on US flag football team Which Cardinals players would make great flag football players?
On Tuesday, NFL owners approved the participation of NFL players in flag football, coming to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. With that news, the next logical thing to do is to see which players would be a great fit.
Let's look at the Arizona Cardinals.
Flag football is not the same as regular football. It is about speed, timing and elusiveness. It is more about playing in space, so not everyone will be a fit.
Cardinals running back James Conner? Not so much a fit, as he is big and physical.
Who would be good flag football players?
Arizona Cardinals player fits for US national flag football team
Quarterback Kyler Murray: Murray is fast. He is elusive, and he can throw an accurate ball.
RB Michael Carter: Carter can catch the ball and is the most slippery of the backs on the Cardinals' roster.
WR Greg Dortch: Dortch is not the fastest, but he is one of the most elusive players in space.
WR Marvin Harrison Jr.: His length makes him a hige threat, and he does have good speed.
TE Trey McBride: Imagine someone having to guard someone as big as McBride who moves as well as he does. Now, he probably won't be hurdling anyone in flag football because no one tries to tackle players low, but his size and length would be incredible.
CB Will Johnson: You need cover guys and he excels at disrupting the ball, and he can take it to the house when he picks off a pass.
S Rabbit Taylor-Demerson: He is athletic and a ballhawk. He had 10 interceptions in his final three seasons at Texas Tech and broke up 23 passes.

Aaron Rodgers reportedly signs one-year, $13 million deal with Steelers
After months of speculation and will-they-won't-they narratives, the wait has officially come to an end, and Aaron Rodgers is set to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. Earlier this week, the Steelers and the 41-year-old quarterback agreed to terms on a one-year contract. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Rodgers was in the Steelers' facility on Saturday and signed a one-year, $13.56 million contract that includes $10 million guaranteed along with incentives. Rodgers is expected to attend the Steelers' mandatory mini-camp next week. Throughout his career, Rodgers has thrown 62,952 yards and 503 touchdowns. Last season, he threw 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions for 3,897 yards. Quarterback carousel continues to spin in Pittsburgh Since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger after the 2021 season, the Steelers have been on the hunt for their next franchise quarterback. Their first attempt at finding the next one came in 2022 when the Steelers drafted former Pitt quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Kenny Pickett 20th overall. Ultimately, the Steelers would trade Pickett just two years later to the Philadelphia Eagles. In 24 starts with the Steelers, Pickett posted a record of 14-10, threw for 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. The trade came as a bit of a shock, but Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported, citing sources, that the Steelers traded Pickett because of the way he "was poorly handling the arrival of Russell Wilson." Prior to sending Pickett to Philadelphia, the Steelers signed veteran quarterback Wilson to a one-year deal. Wilson came to Pittsburgh after being cut by the Denver Broncos after just two seasons. Along with Wilson, the Steelers also traded for the 2021 11th overall pick, Justin Fields, from the Chicago Bears. Fields started the season as QB 1 following an injury to Wilson in training camp, but Head Coach Mike Tomlin continued to reiterate that Wilson had "pole position" to be the team's starting quarterback once healthy. For the first six weeks, Fields posted a 4-2 record, passing for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. He ultimately would be benched in favor of Wilson in week seven, who took the job and held onto it. Following a 28-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Wild Card round, the Steelers would lose both quarterbacks to free agency. Fields signed with the New York Jets, and Wilson signed with the New York Giants, while the Steelers brought back 2018 third-round pick Mason Rudolph. Now, they'll turn to Rodgers as the search for the next long-term solution at quarterback continues. Aaron Rodgers to face old teams this season Joining the Steelers for the upcoming season means that Rodgers will face off against teams that employed him, as well as teams he has long-standing rivalries. It begins week one when the Steelers play the New York Jets. Not only is it a showdown with Rodgers' former employer, but it will be the Steelers' first game against Justin Fields. In week 8, the Steelers will host the Green Bay Packers, the team that Rodgers spent the bulk of his career with, including a Super Bowl XLV victory over Tomlin and the Steelers. Steelers' offense undergoes offseason changes With both Fields and Wilson departing via free agency, and Mason Rudolph returning, the Steelers' offense will look much different in 2025 than it did in 2024. Along with the addition of Rodgers, the Steelers traded young, star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys not long after they acquired wide receiver DK Metcalf who they signed to a $150 million contract. In the backfield, running back Najee Harris opted to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Steelers tendered a one-year, restricted free agency deal to Jaylen Warren. They also added former Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell.

Adam ‘Pacman' Jones arrested, charged with assaulting officer, public intoxication
Former NFL cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones was arrested Saturday morning on charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assault of an officer. He was booked into Kenton County Jail (Ky.) at 1:51 a.m., according to public records. The Covington Police Department did not respond to a request for comment about what led to the arrest. Jones, 35, was released Saturday on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Monday. Advertisement In November, Jones was arrested in Arlington, Texas, hours after the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match on charges of assault on a peace officer, public intoxication, evading arrest and resisting arrest. He was previously arrested in 2023 near Cincinnati on charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening for unruly behavior on an outbound flight at CVG Airport. The former cornerback was a first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2005 and played primarily for the Cincinnati Bengals during his career, which spanned from 2005 to 2018. He was out of the NFL for two of those seasons, in 2007 due to suspension and in 2009 after being released by the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he was also suspended for four games in 2008. During his playing career, Jones was arrested or questioned by police in eight separate incidents, including a 2007 shooting at a Las Vegas nightclub that paralyzed a man and cost Jones $11 million in damages. In May 2017, Jones pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge of obstructing police, leading the NFL to suspend him for the 2017 season opener. He retired in 2018 after playing seven games with the Denver Broncos. (Photo of Jones in 2017: Wesley Hitt / Getty Images)
