2011 NFC West Preview & Predictions

Arizona Cardinals

The addition of Kevin Kolb should be enough to catapult the Cardinals to the top of a weak NFC West. Veteran tight-end Todd Heap will also provide Kolb with a nice security blanket over the middle. One of the main keys to the Cardinals success is the maturation of running back Beanie Wells, who will be getting the majority of the carries now that Tim Hightower is gone. Overall, the Cardinals made some nice roster upgrades and will be fighting for the top spot on the NFC West.

Key Arrivals – Kevin Kolb, Todd Heap, Vonnie Holliday, Daryn Colledge, Patrick Peterson, Stewart Bradley

Key Departures – DRC, Steve Breaston, Matt Leinart, Tim Hightower, Derek Anderson, Gerald Hayes, Ben Patrick, Gabe Watson, Alan Faneca

Prediction – 9-7/First in NFC West
