Overview
- Arizona brings back defensive lineman L.J. Collier on a one-year deal, marking his fourth straight offseason on a one-year pact with the team.
- ESPN, via Pro Football Rumors, reports the contract at $2.5 million, while Cards Wire via Yahoo reports $2.0 million with $750,000 guaranteed.
- Cards Wire details a $350,000 signing bonus, $400,000 of base salary guaranteed, $20,000 per-game roster bonuses, and a $45,000 workout bonus.
- Based on the per-game bonus accounting after four games played last season, Cards Wire projects a 2026 cap charge of $1.74 million and a net $735,000 cap addition due to the 51-player cutoff.
- Collier logged 29 tackles and 3.5 sacks across 17 games (15 starts) in 2024, then was limited to four games by a knee injury in 2025, and his 2026 snaps could depend on free agent Calais Campbell’s decision.
