Cardinals training camp: Rookie CB Will Johnson makes highlight play
The Arizona Cardinals held their annual Red & White Practice on Saturday at State Farm Stadium. The second day in a row practicing in pads, they got in work in front of thousands of fans. There were a lot of plays made, but one play in particular will be remembered, and it gives Cardinals fans a reason to be excited about their rookie class.
Cornerback Will Johnson, their second-round pick, made the play of the afternoon. He intercepted a pass from Kyler Murray intended for Zay Jones. Johnson jumped in front of Jones and took the ball away.
Check out the play.
Will Johnson picks off pass
Johnson will play a big role on defense this season. He is one of the Cardinals' top three cornerbacks right now after Sean Murphy-Bunting and Star Thomas both had season-ending knee injuries. He, Max Melton and Garrett Williams will be the starters and play a lot.
Johnson, selected 47th overall in the 2025 draft after falling tot to the second round. He was considered as high as a top-10 talent in the draft.
Hopefully, that play is just a preview of many like it to come in the regular season.

Ex-Giants running back LeShon Johnson found guilty in largest federal dog-fighting case ever
Ex-NFLer LeShon Johnson was convicted of six felony counts related to his role in a federal dog-fighting bust earlier this year. A federal jury in Oklahoma found the former Giants running back guilty last week of violating the federal Animal Welfare Act's prohibitions against possessing, selling, transporting, and delivering animals to be used in fighting ventures, the Department of Justice announced on Monday. Johnson will be sentenced at a later date and faces a maximum penalty of five years behind bars and a fine of up to $250,000 on each count.

New York Post/Mike Norcia Authorities seized 190 dogs and Johnson has surrendered them to the government, which is pursuing forfeiture of the animals. 'This criminal profited off of the misery of innocent animals and he will face severe consequences for his vile crimes,' Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. 'This case underscores the Department of Justice's commitment to protecting animals from abuse — 190 dogs are now safe thanks to outstanding collaborative work by our attorneys and law enforcement components.' Advertisement Johnson had been charged in March in what federal law enforcement dubbed the largest seizure of dogs ever in a federal case and had said that he had nearly 200 'pit bull-type dogs,' which were used in an 'animal fighting venture.' During the multi-day trial in Oklahoma, prosecutors presented evidence that Johnson had bred and trafficked dogs for his operation, called 'Mal Kant Kennels,' in order to fight them. 3 LeShon Johnson scoring a touchdown in 1999.

Johnson spent five years in the NFL and was drafted by the Packers in the 1994 draft before playing from 1995-97 with the Cardinals and playing the 1999 season with the Giants.

MLB rumors: Will Astros try again for Nolan Arenado trade after vetoed agreement
The post MLB rumors: Will Astros try again for Nolan Arenado trade after vetoed agreement appeared first on ClutchPoints. As St. Louis Cardinals star Nolan Arenado is in rumors ahead of the trade deadline on the evening of July 31, there is no doubt that a bunch of teams could use his talents if he were to become available. With the baseball world wondering what the Cardinals' plans are with Arenado, one team that could be an interesting destination is the Houston Astros. The main reason why the Astros have been mentioned is because of two reasons: the first being that the team could use a third baseman, and the other is that the team went after Arenado before. However, Arenado wouldn't waive his no-trade clause last offseason when a deal could have been in place for him to go to Houston. However, it has been reported that the Astros have 'no interest in reigniting talks' for Arenado, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. 'The Houston Astros would like to find a third baseman while Isaac Paredes recovers from his hamstring tear, but have no interest in reigniting talks with the St. Louis Cardinals for third baseman Nolan Arenado,' Nightengale wrote. They had agreed to a trade during the winter, and the Astros had permission to speak to Arenado, but they couldn't convince him they were still going to contend this year.' Houston general manager Dana Brown would say to USA Today that the team couldn't convince Arenado of their plans. 'We tried to convince him that we're not rebuilding, that the window is always open with our owner,' Brown said. 'We planned to compete in 2025 and beyond. He misunderstood the plan.' Cardinals 'entertaining offers' for Nolan Arenado While people will continue to focus on rumors around a possible Arenado trade away from the Cardinals, the third baseman does hold some leverage as he has the no-trade clause. Still, it would also be reported by Katie Woo of The Athletic that St. Louis will 'entertain offers' involving Arenado. 'St. Louis will entertain offers on Nolan Arenado and Sonny Gray,' Woo wrote. 'Both players have full no-trade clauses but could be motivated to waive them for the right fit. [President of Baseball Operations John] Mozeliak has started to gauge the interest of a handful of contending teams, though the talks are described as preliminary.' 'The odds of either player being traded before the deadline remain slim, but the Cardinals are financially motivated to move their contracts,' Woo continued. 'Gray is owed $35 million in 2026, his final guaranteed year of his three-year contract, and Arenado has $31 million (not including deferrals) remaining over the next two seasons.' Arenado has been great defensively, but his offensive numbers have been down as he sports a .237 batting average to go along with 10 home runs and 43 RBIs. It remains to be seen where Arenado ends up with the trade deadline on July 31, as said before.

Cardinals' Nolan Arenado addresses trade rumors after Ryan Helsley departure
The post Cardinals' Nolan Arenado addresses trade rumors after Ryan Helsley departure appeared first on ClutchPoints. The St. Louis Cardinals are facing the music, embracing their status as a selling club prior to the trade deadline as evidenced by their decision to trade away closer Ryan Helsley to the New York Mets on Wednesday. It's not like the Cardinals have a bad team; despite their 2-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, they have a 55-55 record and in theory could make a late push for the postseason. But considering how well the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs have been playing, one would think that the Cardinals are rather unlikely to make a push for the playoffs, especially when they have to overturn a 5.5-game deficit and pass two teams just to be the third and final Wild Card team in the NL. Thus, more trades could be in order for the Cardinals. In particular, veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado could be the next to go, especially as this could free up a spot on the everyday lineup for a younger option at the hot corner. Arenado is bracing for all options with his and the Cardinals' future hanging in the balance in the next day or so. 'It'll probably be fine [without a trade], but we'll let it play out and see where it goes,' Arenado told reporters after the Cardinals' loss to the Marlins on Wednesday. Arenado has two more years left on his contract after the 2025 season, and he'll be making $16 million in 2026 and then $15 million in 2027. Considering how badly he's struggled this season, it's not a guarantee that he'll get his wish to play for a contender, unless the Cardinals eat a significant portion of his contract. On the season, Arenado is slashing .235/.294/.366 with 10 home runs and 43 runs batted in. This is the worst season of Arenado's career, continuing his worrying trend of declining play over the past few seasons. Can Nolan Arenado turn things around — for the Cardinals or another team? Arenado has been so good for so long that it can be difficult to believe how badly he's been struggling in 2025. But perhaps there is reason to believe that the Cardinals veteran can bounce back even for a little bit, even if not to the level he was when he was at his best. His BABIP is currently the worst of his career; perhaps with his career-best strikeout rate, this suggests that he's swinging at everything and failing to make good contact. Even then, if his BABIP bounces back, his overall production from the plate should improve. And he's still a surehanded presence at third base, which could make him valuable for any team in the looming stretch run.
