2024 Elliot Brown, stats, season
Officially a rookie because he has never been on an NFL roster, Brown played the last two seasons with the Edmonton Elks of the Canadian Football League after playing collegiately at Virginia. He had a breakthrough year for the Elks in 2024, playing all 18 games and totaling 8.0 sacks. Brown was also named to the Western Division All-Star Team.
2025 contract status
Brown signed a three-year contract minimum salary with the Cardinals on Jan. 13 and his salary if on the roster during the regular season will be the rookie minimum of $840,000.
