Cardinals coach Bruce Arians calls Carson Palmer "as pretty a deep-ball thrower as I've ever seen."
It's safe to say Arians believes Palmer still has the arm strength to succeed in his vertically-minded passing attack. Thanks to an elbow injury, Palmer's drive and velocity were waning near the end of his time in Cincinnati, but his arm appeared much stronger in Oakland. He'll be asked to uncork no shortage of deep balls in the desert.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Cardinals third-round FS Tyrann Mathieu enters the NFL in the league's drug test program.
That means Mathieu is subject to as many as ten drug tests per month. The 21-year-old former LSU Tiger's off-the-field drug problems are well-documented, and he has repeated several times that he's fine with drug testing and that his issues are behind him. Mathieu signed his four-year rookie deal on Thursday, and he received just $265,000 up front. Another $355,000 is available in roster bonuses from 2014-2016, and they will void if he ends up getting suspended.

Cardinals signed third-round FS Tyrann Mathieu to a four-year contract.
There was initial chatter that Mathieu would have to accept a contract with no guaranteed money due to his off-the-field troubles, but we doubt that's the case. Mathieu didn't play safety while at LSU, but he does have experience covering the slot. He'll also be a factor in the return game as a rookie.
