Arizona Cardinals have a healthy and dynamic tight end room heading into 2025

Yahoo22-07-2025
The Arizona Cardinals have all their rookies signed after the final 'holdout' Will Johnson inked his deal today.
So, we won't have to talk about that at camp.
Instead, we can focus on the news as it comes out, but also continue to preview the position groups.

So far, we know the quarterbacks, we have discussed the running backs, and we have talked about how the wide receiver room may play out.
Now, it is the tight end room, that if it stays healthy, may be the best in the NFL.
Tight Ends - One question, who is the fourth tight end on the roster
The Star - Trey McBride
The Receiving threat - Elijah Higgins
The Blocker - Tip Reiman
The Battle - Josiah Deguara, Travis Vokolek
The youngster - Oscar Cardenas
The Cardinals will likely have McBride, Higgins and Reiman on the roster unless someone not named McBride just stinks out loud during camp.
The question becomes who is the fourth tight end?

Is it the free agent signee Josiah Deguara or the veteran who has been with the team in Vokolek?
And if one doesn't make it, can they make it through to the practice squad?
This is one of the more complete rooms on the roster, how do you think the last spot ends up?

"They've definitely cleaned it up in that aspect" - Parish on why he's in favor of the so-called 'soft' NBA era

"They've definitely cleaned it up in that aspect" - Parish on why he's in favor of the so-called 'soft' NBA era originally appeared on Basketball Network. Many NBA legends are critical of how the game is being played these days. For most of them, the league has gone "soft." While that might be the case in today's NBA, Boston Celtics legend Robert Parish doesn't see anything wrong with it. During his playing years, Parish was one of the most dominant big men in the league. He never shied away from banging bodies with his matchups season after season. The Chief believes that today's NBA players are no longer doing the same, and it makes the game "better." Parish argued that players couldn't play their game back then because of too much physicality. Today, however, Robert can see most players being able to play their game without getting hacked or hurt. "From a physicality standpoint, I think it's better because first of all, you're eliminating a lot of the altercations that went on when they had the hand-checking and the bumping and grinding impeding players' progress when they wanted to make a move," Parish told The Signal in a Q&A session in 2016. "So, they've definitely cleaned it up in that aspect." Parish is against load management Even though Parish supports the NBA's shift from physical to softball, he disagrees with some league trends and practices, one of which is load management. For Robert, load management should not exist in a prestigious and competitive league such as the NBA. He believes injuries could be prevented in many ways without compromising the number of games a player is supposed to play each season. The Chief noted that being healthy is the result of a player's discipline and work ethic. He thinks all players are obliged to stay fit to avoid injuries, and resting should never be an option. For Parish, that's what LeBron James does best, and his longevity speaks volumes about his remarkable conditioning. "First of all, I find it insulting. First and foremost, your main and most significant priority should be fitness and conditioning. Load management should not be an issue unless you're coming off a significant injury," the nine-time NBA All-Star once said of load management. "We're all tired. We're all banged up and beat up. You take personal pride in your fitness and conditioning." "Everybody in the NBA needs to take a page out of LeBron's book in terms of fitness and conditioning, to take it as serious as he does. If you take care of your body the way LeBron does, load management should not be an issue," he pointed made a good point In all fairness, Parish made a good point with his take on today's NBA. He enlightened fans about the positive side of the soft NBA era and what players should do to stay healthy, apart from load management. Not everybody would agree with Robert, but he was right about players being able to maximize their abilities because of the absence of physicality. Moreover, Parish has also proven that load management isn't the key to avoiding injuries, as he lasted 21 years in the NBA just by being disciplined and dedicated. All told, it's quite interesting to know that a legendary player from the past era believes that the evolution of the game is good for the story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
