Arizona Cardinals sign 3 draft picks before rookie minicamp begins<\/p>\n

The Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, the day before beginning rookie minicamp, signed three of their seven draft picks.<\/p>\n

They inked their final three selections from the 2026 NFL draft to four-year rookie deals.<\/p>\n

They signed:<\/p>\n

WR Reggie Virgil (fifth-round pick)<\/p>\n

LB Karson Sharar (sixth-round pick)<\/p>\n

OL Jayden Williams (seventh-round pick)<\/p>\n

These Day 3 selections will earn the league minimum for each year of their deal with a signing bonus. None of their salary is guaranteed, and they also likely have split contracts where they get a reduced salary if they are on injured reserve for at least the first year or two of their deal.<\/p>\n
