Markus Golden Staying With Cardinals
4 years agoThe Arizona Cardinals are re-signing pass-rusher Markus Golden to a two-year deal that will pay him $9 million on Monday, according to a source. Golden left Arizona for the New York Giants, but he was traded back for a sixth-round draft pick last year and has now elected to stay in the desert. The 30-year-old had a career-high 12.5 sacks back in 2016 and had his second double-digit sack total (10) in his lone season with the Giants in 2019. In 16 games (nine starts) between New York and Arizona last year, Golden disappointed with just 33 combined tackles (six for loss), 20 QB hits, one interception, one fumble recovery and 4.5 sacks. He'll return to join recently signed All-Pro pass-rusher J.J. Watt on Arizona's defensive line.
