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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The signing added nothing to the current team salary cap because the offseason top 51 cutoff is now $1.206 million.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
