The Arizona Cardinals will have a new look in 2025, and it isn’t just from a roster standpoint. Sure, the team chose to move off of seven-year quarterback Kyler Murray, as well as firing Jonathan Gannon after only three seasons as coach, turning to a young and experienced first-year coach in Mike LaFleur.

The team also saw plenty of change in the secondary, as veteran safety Jalen Thompson opted to depart Arizona in favor of a three-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys. There has been a ton of shifting around in different parts of the Cardinals organization.

However, the Arizona fanbase just saw one of the biggest changes from a viewership standpoint, as sports broadcaster Dave Pasch announced that he would be leaving Arizona radio behind.

After 24 years covering Arizona sports, the 53-year-old opted to step down from his role in favor of a new deal with TESPN. Many fans reacted to the move, including Arizona congressman Andy Biggsi.

“Arizona Cardinals gameday broadcasts won't be the same without Dave Pasch at the microphone. Thank you, Dave, for your decades of service to the Valley. Best of luck to you in this next chapter of life.” —Andy Biggsi

The Cardinals kick off training camp in a little less than a month, and we will be able to see how the quarterback competition has progressed. We will also get to take a look at who Mike LaFleur plans to start as the lead running back. With James Conner, Jeremiyah Love, and Tyler Allgeier all in the same running back room, it seems likely LaFleur has planned in-game situations for when to use them.
