The Arizona Cardinals are back at it on Monday at team headquarters in Tempe

The Arizona Cardinals will start their offseason strength and conditioning program on Monday at team headquarters in Tempe.  It has been almost three months since the Cardinals 2015 season ended with a bad taste in the NFC Championship game in Carolina.  Now it is time to move on.

This is the first get together of players since that loss.  They finally can start to prepare for the 2016 season.  This will be the first of many dates of team activities over the next two months.

Even though it is just the strength and conditioning that starts tomorrow, it is still a new start.  It all starts in the training room.  What happens now could make the difference of how a player still stands come December and January.  Buddy Morris is the Cardinals strength and conditioning coach.  Roger Kingdom is the assistant strength and conditioning coach.

After tomorrow’s start of the strength and conditioning program, the Cardinals also have the annual Cardinals Charities Golf Tournament on Wednesday at Whirlwind Golf Course in Chandler.  Then on April 28th, 29th, and 30th the NFL Draft takes place.  There will be a draft party on the Great Lawn at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Those 75 players will be joined by draft picks and undrafted free agents in a couple of weeks.  Rookie minicamp will be held the weekend of Friday May 6th-Sunday May 8th.  The first OTA’s will be on Monday May 17th-Wednesday May 19th.  Here we go Birdgang.  Saddle up.
