We will preview every player on the Cardinals roster leading up to training camp. This is about TE Tip Reiman.
The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team.
Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook.
This focuses on tight end Tip Reiman.
Tip Reiman background, 2024 season
Reiman enters his second NFL season and second with the Cardinals. Arizona selected him in the third round of the 2024 draft out of Illinois.
In his first NFL season, he shared duties with Elijah Higgins as a No. 2/3 tight end behind Trey McBride. He played in all 17 games, starting nine of them. He caught six passes for 37 yards, but he was a stud blocker, which is what the Cardinals loved about him when they drafted him.
Tip Reiman 2025 contract details, cap hit
Reiman signed a four-year deal worth almost $5.8 million. He received a signing bonus of more than $1.03 million. His 2025 salary will be nearly $1.06 million and his contract will count more than $1.3 million against the salary cap.
Questions he faces, roster outlook
Already a solid blocking tight end, the question is whether he can develop into something beyond that. He has soft hands and the athleticism to be an all-around tight end. Will he get the opportunity to do more?
He is basically a lock for the final roster, getting play at least the same role he had as a rookie.
