Adding depth to the offseason tight end room, the Arizona Cardinals signed Teagan Quitoriano to a one-year veteran qualifying contract worth $1.24 million.
The deal includes a minimum base salary of $1.215 million, of which $1.075 million counts against the salary cap. There is also a $25,000 workout bonus that creates a salary-cap charge of $1.1 million.
The signing added nothing to the current team salary cap because the offseason top 51 cutoff is now $1.206 million.
Quitoriano signed his contract on March 18, three days after his 26th birthday. A fifth-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2022, he was signed by the Atlanta Falcons in 2025 after the Texans did not tender him as a restricted free agent. This year, he became an unrestricted free agent on March 11.
In 2025, he played all 17 games for the Falcons with one start and participated in 133 offensive snaps (12 percent) and 239 (54 percent) on special teams.
