The Arizona Cardinals have released former Pro Bowl left tackle DJ Humphries after eight seasons with the team. Humphries, who had been with the Cardinals since being drafted in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft, started all 98 games he appeared in. He suffered a torn ACL in a game against the Eagles on New Year's Eve, which was expected to sideline him for most of the upcoming season. His release was attributed to a significant $22.9 million cap hit for the 2024 season. Humphries was a four-time team captain and made the Pro Bowl in 2021. Following Humphries' release, the Cardinals have reportedly signed former Bengals offensive tackle Jonah Williams to a two-year deal, aiming for a return to free agency after his age 28 season. Williams' signing is seen as a strategic move for the Cardinals, given Humphries' uncertain recovery timeline.
The LT opportunity he was looking for? 2 year deal means Jonah will be back to free agency after his age 28 season, so if he plays well he can cash in. https://t.co/4XQd4BB3Fy
