Overview
- NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Kansas City has agreed to terms with former Cardinals running back Emari Demercado on a one-year deal, and the player signaled his move with a celebratory post on X.
- Demercado is expected to serve as a complementary option to Kenneth Walker III, providing pass-catching ability and change-of-pace explosiveness.
- Arizona declined to tender Demercado as a restricted free agent, a decision that would have required an offer exceeding $3.5 million.
- Over three seasons with the Cardinals, he amassed more than 1,100 total yards and four touchdowns, including 50 receptions and work on kickoff returns.
- A notable 2025 moment saw Demercado lose the ball before finishing a 71- or 72-yard run for a would-be score, drawing public criticism from coach Jonathan Gannon.
