The Facts: The Cardinals are closing in on a deal with Vance Joseph, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported, per a source informed of the situation.

Diehards Line: At Kliff Kingsbury's introductory press conference Tuesday, the Arizona Cardinals said they were looking to match their offensive-minded rookie head coach with an experienced defensive coordinator. They're hiring one with head coaching experience, too. The former Broncos head coach had garnered interest from several teams and had just interviewed for the Browns' DC vacancy -- a job that may now go to former Cardinals HC Steve Wilks.
