NFL Lockout's Impact On The Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals are one of the teams hurt the most by a lockout, despite having a returning head coach. Arizona needs a quarterback and I'm convinced they're the front runners to land Philadelphia Eagles back-up Kevin Kolb. A lockout will prevent any trades until a new CBA is reached, leaving the Cardinals with John Skelton and Max Hall at quarterback for now. The other big issue is the Cardinals defense. They really needed this off season to bring in free agents and rework their sagging defense.
