We have another report connecting Cardinals to Blaine Gabbert

We noted 10 days ago a couple of smart reporters who believe the Cardinals prefer Blaine Gabbert to Cam Newton, should the team take a quarterback with the No. 5 overall pick.

In the meantime, the Bidwills have personally attended a private workout for Gabbert in Missouri.

In the strongest sign yet that Gabbert could be ticketed for the desert, SI.com’s Peter King writes Monday that Gabbert “will not get past Arizona.”

King hears the Cardinals aren’t fond of Cam Newton, although we suspect it won’t really matter. Newton seems unlikely to get past Carolina, Buffalo, and Cincinnati in succession.
