The NFL does not yet recognize sacks before 1982. That is the year the league began tracking them. Based on the “official” numbers, these are the Arizona Cardinals’ franchise all-time leaders in sacks.
- Freddie Joe Nunn, 66.5
- Chandler Jones, 61.0
- Calais Campbell, 56.5
- Simeon Rice, 53.5
- Curtis Greer, 50.5
- Ken Harvey, 47.5
- Eric Swann, 45.5
- Darnell Dockett, 40.5
- Bertrand Berry, 40.0
- Al Baker, 37.5
However, Pro Football Reference has tracked sacks before 1982 and, while they are not official league stats, the Cardinals’ top 10 would look different.
Here is what the Cardinals’ all-time list would look if they included sacks prior to 1982.
