First of all, how do we know for sure that it was the Cardinals.

Second, as some people have said, the GM doesn't have to know EVERYTHING that's going on with his team. If a employee is stealing from a restaurant, does their boss get fired if he didn't know? Normally not. Not to say that the Card's GM didn't know about what was going on, but if he didn't, he shouldn't be punished. They may have used the information, but it doesn't mean they knew where it was coming from.
