An offseason tradition we have had for years on this site is to, on Sundays, take a look around the NFC West to see what has been going on with the Arizona Cardinals’ division rivals.
What has been going on for the San Francisco 49ers since their Super Bowl loss?
Below are some stories from the last week for Cardinals fans to know about.
