Eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson will be in Arizona on Monday to retire as an Arizona Cardinal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Peterson, who hasn't been a Pro Bowler since the 2018 season, will hang up his cleats after a 13-year NFL career that saw him play for the Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers. The 34-year-old also was named a first-team All-Pro three times. He did not play at all in 2024 and had 42 tackles (34 solo), two interceptions and 11 pass breakups in 17 games (16 starts) for the Steelers in his final season in 2023. Arizona took Peterson with the No. 5 overall pick in 2011 out of LSU, and he was named a Pro Bowler in each of his first eight years in the league with the Cardinals. In his prime, Peterson was one of the best lock-down corners in the NFL. He finishes his career with 652 tackles (571 solo), four sacks, 36 interceptions and 122 pass breakups in 201 total games.

The Arizona Cardinals hosted Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. on Monday and plan to host Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams on Wednesday, according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The Cardinals ranked 28th in pass rush win rate (33%) last season, and that is a clear area of need for the organization under head coach Jonathan Gannon. Pearce was a first-team All-SEC selection in 2023 and 2024 behind 17 sacks over the last two campaigns. Williams was a second-team All-SEC performer with 9.5 sacks over the same span. Both prospects present a high upside at the next level.

The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms with former Chicago Bears offensive lineman Jake Curhan on an undisclosed contract. Curhan signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent back in 2021 and spent three seasons there before a one-year contract in Chicago. The 26-year-old appeared in ten games (two starts) while participating in 22.98% of the team's offensive snaps. Over his four seasons, he's garnered 11 starts. Curhan has spent most of his time at left guard but is familiar with the opposite side and right tackle. He'll serve as a versatile depth piece for the squad in 2025 and joins new teammate Evan Brown as the Cardinals' offseason offensive line acquisitions.

Free-agent veteran offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum re-signed an undisclosed one-year deal to return to the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Beachum will be entering his 14th NFL season in 2025 and his sixth with the Cardinals. The 35-year-old offensive lineman was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the seventh round (248th overall) in 2012 out of SMU, and he spent the first four years of his NFL career in the Steel City. Beachum did start 12 of the 16 games he appeared in last year with Arizona, but he's mostly been a backup offensive tackle in recent seasons under head coach Jonathan Gannon. In 2023, he started just two of the 11 games he appeared in. However, Beachum brings plenty of experience to the team's offensive line and has the ability to play on either side.

The Arizona Cardinals are making Pro Bowl tight end
Trey McBride the highest-paid tight end in NFL history with a four-year, $76 million contract extension on Thursday, according to his agents. The deal includes $43 million guaranteed and a $19 million average per year, which is the highest ever for any NFL tight end. The 25-year-old former second-rounder (55th overall) in 2022 out of Colorado State was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2024 while setting career-highs in receptions (111), targets (147), receiving yards (1,146) in 16 games. Despite only finding the end zone two times, McBride still finished as the TE2 in standard scoring in his third year in the league, with his 111 catches falling just one short of
Brock Bowers' 112 for the league lead. He should score more in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL, making him an elite TE1 target for fantasy managers.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Arizona Cardinals are signing veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell to a one-year, $5.5 million deal. The 38-year-old returns to the team that selected him in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Campbell bounced around the league after departing from the Cardinals following the 2016 season, including stints in Jacksonville, Baltimore, Atlanta, and finally Miami in 2024. Even at 38, the Denver native played nearly 58% of the team's defensive snaps, collecting 52 tackles, five sacks, and a forced fumble in 17 appearances. Arizona has beefed up its defensive line in free agency, with Campbell joining Josh Sweat as pass-rushing reinforcement.

Exclusive-rights free-agent tight end
Travis Vokolek officially signed his one-year tender offer on Monday to return to the Arizona Cardinals. It was merely a formality, as his lone option was to sign and remain with Arizona after they extended him a tender earlier this month. The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent will now return in 2025 for his third season with the team. Vokolek has only appeared in three games with the Cardinals in his two seasons in the NFL and has yet to be targeted or catch a pass on offense. The Nebraska alumni will merely be competing for a roster spot in training camp this summer as a special-teamer and for tight end depth. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder originally joined the Cardinals in 2023 after being signed off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad that December. On offense, Vokolek is a blocking-first tight end.

Per Darren Urban of the team, the Arizona Cardinals are signing free-agent offensive lineman Royce Newman to a one-year contract. The financial details have not yet been disclosed. Newman, a four-year pro, was selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers -- spending three seasons there before a one-year spell with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024. He logged just three snaps with the Bucs last season. The 27-year-old is the second acquisition for Tampa Bay on their offensive front, joining fellow offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum. Currently, Newman is listed as the team's unofficial starter at right guard on their depth chart. This status may change in the coming months.

The Arizona Cardinals signed Chicago Bears free-agent cornerback Jaylon Jones (shoulder) to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. Jones will reunite him with high-school teammate
Kyler Murray. The former undrafted free agent out of Mississippi has 4.41-second 40-yard dash speed and will now head to the NFC West to give the Cardinals more depth for their secondary. Jones was a restricted free agent this offseason, but the Bears didn't tender him a contract in order to try and re-sign him. In his three seasons with the Bears, the 27-year-old defensive back totaled 85 tackles (64 solo), four pass breakups and a forced fumble in 41 games (five starts). Jones played in just eight games a season ago and finished the year on Injured Reserve due to a shoulder injury. He will likely continue to mostly be a factor on special teams in Arizona.

The Arizona Cardinals have reached an agreement with free-agent wide receiver
Simi Fehoko on Friday. The two sides agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. Fehoko is a former fifth-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys who spent each of the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. Last season, Fehoko hauled in six receptions for 106 yards in eight games, which was a career-high for him. This move is mainly to add depth at wideout and give the Cardinals another option on special teams. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore Fehoko on draft day.

Free-agent defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson is signing a two-year, $29 million deal with $16 million guaranteed with the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday night, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It didn't take Tomlinson long to latch on with another team after he was cut by the Cleveland Browns on Monday. The 31-year-old veteran defensive lineman will now head to the NFC West to help a Cardinals defense that had a non-existent pass rush in 2024. Although Tomlinson should be a starter for Arizona on the interior of their defensive line, he probably won't boost their pass rush all that much. He started in 16 games apiece in each of the last two years for Cleveland and totaled six sacks while also adding 54 tackles (25 solo), 10 tackles for loss and 30 QB hits. The former second-rounder by the New York Giants in 2017 out of Alabama has a modest 19 sacks in eight NFL seasons over 125 games started.

The Arizona Cardinals tendered an offer to restricted free-agent wide receiver
Greg Dortch on Wednesday night. If Dortch signs the tender, he'll cost the team $3.3 million for the 2025 season. The Cardinals now have the right to match any offer that he receives from another team in free agency. The 25-year-old pass-catcher has been with the Cardinals each of the last four seasons and has caught 116 of his 158 targets in that time for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns in 54 games (14 starts). In 17 games (four starts) in 2024, he had 37 receptions on 50 targets for 342 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. While Dortch's numbers aren't eye-popping for fantasy managers by any means, he's had a key role in the desert and has been durable, only missing two regular-season games. Depending on what the Cardinals do in the draft, Dortch figures to open the 2025 season as the team's No. 3 wideout.
