Was yesterday in the top ten all time for the Cardinals in AZ?

[Yuma]

If you had to rank top days in Cardinals history, arguably playing in the Super Bowl has to be the top day. I just came away wondering, would yesterday's trade be one of the top ten days in Cardinals history? This is a top talent coming to AZ. Possibly on a Charles Barkley level trade to a franchise. IDK, what do yuo guys think?

Idk about days but it was certainly top 2 in trades since 1976 for sure lol.

In addition to being an AZ Cardinals die hard, I’m also a die hard STL Cardinals baseball fan. In terms of being excited about the trade, it reminds of when the baseball Cardinals traded for Jim Edmonds. In terms of fleecing a team, it reminds me of when the Cardinals traded for Lou Brock, even though that trade was a bit before my time.

It is so sad (but maybe true) when a trade for a WR could be in a franchises top 10 days of all time.

Good post Yuma. Haven't been this excited about a new Cardinal in a minute! Edgerrin James maybe?? Chandler Jones?

It's definitely up there.

I was super excited when we got Palmer for a 6th round pick and this tops it.

It doesn't hold a candle though to the big wins I have gotten to see in person

Awesome yes... but top 10 all time nahhhh... obviously subject to change if he goes on to play for 6-7-8 years here and just kills it and helps bring the championship we want.

 

[CardLogic]

Maybe top 10 trades...

Given the lack of sports news and the enormity of impact on the team, I'd say it may be top 10.

Just for starters -

1947 - Chicago Cardinals win NFL Championship over Eagles
2009 - Arizona Cardinals lose Super Bowl XLIII to Steelers
2009 - Arizona Cardinals win NFC Championship Game over Eagles
1948 - Chicago Cardinals lose NFL Championship Game to Eagles [played in a blizzard]
1925 - Chicago Cardinals awarded NFL Championship
1970 - St. Louis Cardinals beat Cowboys 38-0 on Monday Night Football [Dallas lost to Baltimore in the Super Bowl V that year]

Not to mention drafting/signing/trading for several Hall of Fame players - Ollie Matson, Night Train Lane, Kurt Warner, Ernie Nevers, Larry Wilson, Aeneas Williams, Dan Dierdorf, Jackie Smith, etc. [and eventually, Larry Fitzgerald of course]
