--OT Levi Brown was one of the team's most committed players this offseason. He stayed in Arizona after workouts concluded and was seen at the team facility in the days before training camp started.
--The team's front office has been upgraded in both numbers and experience. Adding Jason Licht, formerly of the Eagles, will be a big boost to GM Rod Graves, who had little help last season. With Licht handling many duties, including pro scouting, and assistant Justin Casey negotiating many rookie deals, Graves isn't spread so thin.
--Club officials are holding their breath that WR Anquan Boldin reports to camp on time. Boldin, with three years left on his contract, wants a new deal. He reportedly hasn't decided if he's going to show. It would be out of character, however, for Boldin not to report with his teammates.
--Season ticket sales are lagging slightly behind the pace of the past two seasons. The Cardinals have sold out every game in their two years at University of Phoenix Stadium and have sold about 58,000 season tickets. They would like to get that number up to about 60,000. Team officials say the poor economy is mostly to blame.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I think we have some solid people in place. Where we're young, I know they're aggressive guys. I've got a lot of faith in that these guys will be good scouts." -- GM Rod Graves on the front-office additions and the restructuring of the scouting department.
