Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
PHOENIX, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Arizona Cardinals General Manager Rod Graves and head Coach Ken Whisenhunt have each been given new contracts, the team said Thursday.
Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said Graves and Whisenhunt have both been placed under contract until 2013, with a 2014 option for Whisenhunt.
"We couldn't be more excited that both Rod and Ken will continue to lead the team for the foreseeable future and build upon the foundation that they helped to establish," Bidwill said.
Graves began as assistant to the Cardinals' president in 1997, rising to vice president of football operations in 2003 and then to general manager in 2007.
The Cardinals went 8-8 in 2007, Whisenhunt's first season, then went 9-7 in 2008, winning the NFC West title and then going on to the Super Bowl, where they fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cardinals repeated as NFC West champs in 2009, when they went 10-6 -- the first 10-win season for the franchise since 1976.
