Arizona Cardinals recap and notes on player transactions

  • Cardinals’ Andrew Billings: Moving to Arizona

    The Cardinals signed Billings to a contract Monday. Per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, it’s a one-year deal.

    Billings is a seasoned defensive tackle who played the past three campaigns with Chicago. He started all but three of the 42 regular-season contests in which he appeared during that span, though he could work in a rotational role with his new club. Billings totaled 31 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) during the regular season last year and had three stops during Chicago’s divisional-round loss to the Rams.

  • Cardinals’ Jack Gibbens: Joining Cardinals

    Gibbens signed a two-year contract with the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the team’s official site reports.

    Arizona was in need of depth at off-ball linebacker after releasing Akeem Davis-Gaither on March 5, and Gibbens has been tabbed as his replacement. While Gibbens started eight of his 17 regular-season appearances for the Patriots last year, he may not be assured a regular role off the bat with Mack Wilson (ribs) and 2025 fourth-round pick Cody Simon present on the roster. However, Gibbens tallied 81 tackles, including 1.0 sack, four pass defenses and one forced fumble in 2025, so production is possible if snaps ever come up for grabs.

  • Cardinals’ Devin Duvernay: Inks one-year deal with Arizona

    Duvernay and the Cardinals agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.5 million contract Sunday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Duvernay served as the Bears’ primary returner on both kickoffs and punts. He returned 40 kickoffs for 1,069 yards (fifth most in the NFL) and 21 punts for 231 yards across 17 regular-season games in 2025. Duvernay is unlikely to see many snaps on offense in Arizona but should reprise his return role with his new team.

  • Cardinals’ Simi Fehoko: Returns to Arizona

    The Cardinals re-signed Fehoko (wrist) to a one-year contract Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Fehoko suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week 10 last season and missed the remainder of the 2025 campaign. A wide receiver by trade, Fehoko played just 37 offensive snaps across eight games but logged another 116 snaps on special teams. He’ll compete for a roster spot this summer under new coach Mike LaFleur.
