Cardinals Sign All-Pro Returner Devin Duvernay to One-Year, $2.5 Million Deal

The two-time Pro Bowler arrives to strengthen Arizona’s return game under Mike LaFleur’s early roster overhaul.

Overview

  • The agreement was reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who noted Duvernay’s field-position value as a return specialist.
  • Duvernay is expected to handle kick and punt returns after Arizona moved on from Greg Dortch, providing depth at wide receiver as well.
  • He logged 1,069 kickoff return yards with a 26.7-yard average for the Bears in 2025 and delivered a crucial late-game return against the Vikings.
  • Arizona’s receiver group now features presumed starters Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne, with Duvernay competing among the depth options.
  • A 2020 third-round pick, Duvernay earned All-Pro and two Pro Bowls with the Ravens, then played for the Jaguars in 2024 and the Bears in 2025 before joining Arizona.
