D.J. Humphries joins the Rams after his contract with the 49ers fell through.<\/p>\n
Former Arizona Cardinals<\/a> left tackle and first-round pick D.J. Humphries is returning to the NFC West, but not in the it was expected. He was expected to sign with the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> at the end of April after the NFL draft.<\/p>\n That apparently didn’t happen. After the initial report, a contract did not get finalized<\/a>, meaning he remained a free agent.<\/p>\n But according Humphries’ agency<\/a>, he has signed with the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>.<\/p>\n Humphries was drafted in the first round by the Cardinals in 2015 and played eight seasons, seven as a starter. He made one Pro Bowl. After he tore his ACL at the end of 2023, the Cardinals released him and he, after recovering, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, playing two games for the AFC Champions.<\/p>\n Now 31 years old, he offers the Rams some tackle depth. As he joins a fellow NFC West team, he face the Cardinals twice in the 2025 season, including a homecoming trip to State Farm Stadium.<\/p>\n Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire’s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
