The Arizona Cardinals began their work for 2020 on Monday, announcing they signed seven players who spent time on the practice squad this past season to future contracts for 2020. The following players will be back in the offseason:
- WR Johnnie Dixon
- DL Lyndon Johnson
- OL Sam Jomes
- WR A.J. Richardson
- CB Sojourn Shelton
- CB Duke Thomas
- P Ryan Winslow
Winslow actually spent time on the active roster early in the season when Andy Lee was injured. His role in the offseason will be to compete and to allow the Cardinals to use Lee less in the offseason.
NFL rosters expand to 90 players in the offseason. Free agency doesn’t begin until the new league year in March but players who were on practice squads and other players who were unsigned at the end of the season can sign future contracts for next season.
The Cardinals will surely announce many more such signings in the weeks to come.
