The Arizona Cardinals had some of their players become free agents. Eight players on their practice squad had their contracts expire on Monday.

The Cardinals announced last week they re-signed four players from their practice squad to futures deal in 2026. The rest either turned down the opportunity to re-sign immediate or were not offered deals.

Per the NFL transaction report, these players had their practice squad contracts expire:

OLB Jared BartlettOL Wyatt BowlesOL Marquez CoxDL Denzel DaxonRB Jermar JeffersonWR Trent SherfieldWR Steven SimsQB Logan Woodside

Bartlett already has landed elsewhere. He signed a futures deal with the Carolina Panthers.
