Happy Tuesday and start to mini-camp one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals started their offseason mandatory mini camp today, and after missing some veterans at their voluntary mini camp over the course of May, all players were present and accounted for on day one.
#AZCardinals HC Jonathan Gannon says everybody is here for mandatory minicamp but the team will see names such as Will Johnson, Josh Sweat, Dalvin Tomlinson and a few others “take it easy” with the team being smart with their workload

In true fashion, no one seemed to follow up on why those three names were going to “take it easy” so we can spend the next several weeks speculating on why, but Dalvin Tomlinson did talk a lot, and had a lot of positives to say about things with the Arizona Cardinals.
"I feel like we talk all day...I feel like he's coaching me a lot."

"I feel like I'm back at Bama...(JG) wants the best in his players and that reminds me of (Nick) Saban a lot."

"He's just fluid...it comes natural for him...he's just a natural, good defensive tackle. Sky is the limit for him."

The Cardinals will have a lot of press conferences over the next three days and thanks to Johnny Venerable we will be able to get some good info out quick, while we wait for the transcripts to become available as well.
However, to start things off, everyone is here and that is the biggest news of the early camp period.
