The Arizona Cardinals announced that restricted free agent wide receiver Greg Dortch signed his one-year tender on Friday, April 18, ensuring his return for a fifth season with the team.
The contract is worth $3.3 million.
Dortch, who turns 27 next month, appeared in all 17 games for the Cardinals last season, finishing with 37 receptions for 342 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. He also had five carries for 31 yards, returned a team-high 21 punts for 202 yards (9.6 average), and seven kickoffs for 186 yards (26.6).
In 54 games with Arizona, including 14 starts, Dortch has caught 116 passes for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns in addition to 14 carries for 104 rushing yards.
Dortch returns to a wide receiver room that also features Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Zay Jones and Quez Watkins. The Cardinals are expected to select a wide receiver at some point during next week’s NFL draft on April 24-26.
It was 25 years ago that Michigan quarterback Tom Brady waited and waited to be selected in the NFL. Finally, he was picked 199th overall… and went on to win seven Super Bowl rings.
Brady is the patron saint of the passed-over passers, and this Los Angeles Times beat-writer mock draft has plenty of those.
The University of Miami’s Cam Ward is chosen first overall in this reporters’ mock, but he’s the only quarterback selected in this opening round. This scenario contemplates Hall of Famer Deion Sanders languishing in the green room as his son, Shedeur, Colorado’s former quarterback, is left waiting far longer than many people have predicted to hear his name called.
We shall see when the first round unfolds Thursday night in Green Bay.
The Panthers used free agency to begin addressing a defense that was the NFL‘s worst in 2024. But they could still use a young edge rusher as they start to think about life after Jadeveon Clowney. And while Walker was an off-ball linebacker at Georgia, the Panthers believe he can be effective outside.”
