Now that free agency has officially begun and players can directly go right to new teams as the new league year started Wednesday, the Cardinals have added a couple more to the roster.<\/p>\n

(* – pending physicals, of course, before anything is official. If that wasn’t apparent before, don’t ever forget it now<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The Cardinals are adding<\/a> former Jaguars safety Andrew Wingard following the departure of Jalen Thompson. Wingard has only been a starter for two of his seven NFL seasons, but one of them was last season. He started all 16 games in which he appeared, with 84 tackles and a career-best nine pass breakups (including a deep pass to Xavier Weaver at State Farm Stadium to seal a Jacksonville win this past season, but we won’t talk about that.)<\/p>\n

He has 44 starts in 104 career games. He has been good at special teams, and figures to work with Budda Baker and Rabbit Taylor-Demerson at the position.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals are also bringing in<\/a> a new long snapper, after a decade of Aaron Brewer. (Brewer is a free agent; we will see if they might want to give him a chance to compete.) The new guy is 35-year-old Casey Kreiter, who has been with the Giants since 2020 and was playing for new Cardinals special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial.<\/p>\n

Before Kreiter got to the Giants, he was the one who had replaced Brewer with the Broncos in 2016 after Brewer came to the Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Both will be reportedly signing one-year deals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now that free agency has officially begun and players can directly go right to new teams as the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":807941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2078],"tags":[5928,375,390,2604,1327,24383,1054,2874,1051,7,107603,1053,1052,6],"class_list":["post-807940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arizona-cardinals","tag-andrew-wingard","tag-arizona","tag-arizona-cardinals","tag-arizonacardinals","tag-cardinals","tag-casey-kreiter","tag-darren-urban","tag-darrens-blog-v2","tag-featured-articles","tag-football","tag-free-agency-2026","tag-home-page-news-headlines","tag-mega-feed","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116215490458787008","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=807940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/807941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=807940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=807940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=807940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
