The Arizona Cardinals have made significant signings to strengthen their roster, making key commitments to enhance their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
The Arizona Cardinals have re-signed two players ahead of free agency: long-snapper Aaron Brewer and special teams contributor Joey Blount, as announced by the team today.
From the team’s media relations staff:
“Brewer, Arizona’s longest-tenured player (6-5, 232), has appeared in 132 regular season games with the Cardinals over the past nine seasons (2016-2024), joining the team in 2016. The 34-year-old played in all 17 games last season, marking the ninth time in his 13-year NFL career that he’s played every game. He entered the league with the Denver Broncos in 2012 as an undrafted free agent out of San Diego State, playing in 64 regular season games and eight postseason contests over four seasons (2012-2015). In his career, Brewer has played in 196 regular season games and recorded 21 special teams tackles.”
“Blount (6-1, 201) has spent the last two seasons (2023-2024) with the Cardinals after entering the league as a rookie free agent with the Seahawks in 2022. The 26-year-old appeared in 26 games with Arizona, recording 16 tackles and two forced fumbles on special teams, along with an interception and a pass defensed on defense. In 2024, Blount played a career-high 15 games, contributing seven special teams tackles. Across three NFL seasons with Seattle and Arizona, Blount has played in 37 games (one start), tallying 24 tackles, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery on special teams, plus an interception and pass defensed on defense.”
The Cardinals still have 24 players set to enter free agency, which officially begins on March 12. Contract details for Brewer and Blount have yet to be disclosed, but the team is working with over $70 million in cap space.
