 |
The Arizona Cardinals, perpetual laggards of the National Football Conference East, thought they'd found a winner in quarterback Jake "The Snake" Plummer. Following the team's first playoff victory in 50 years in 1998, Plummer was rewarded with a signing bonus of $15 million, the largest in league history. However, the team struggled to a fourth place finish in 1999 as Plummer suffered through an injury-plagued year. Continued woes on the field cost head coach Vince Tobin his job midway through the 2000 season. Founded in 1920, the Cardinals called Chicago and St. Louis home before owner Bill Bidwell moved the team to Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. The team will move into a new Tempe stadium in 2004.
