Two players with whom the Arizona Cardinals agreed to one-year contracts are safety Charles Washington and defensive lineman Trevon Coley. Washington returns to the team after playing one year, having been acquired off a waiver claim before the 2019 season. Coley is a new addition to the defensive lineman but was a starter for the Cleveland Browns in 2017 and 2018.
The details for both their contracts are in and the Cardinals have taken zero risk on either player. According to Over the Cap, neither player was given a signing bonus and neither has any salary guarantees for 2020.
Washington will make $825,000, the league minimum for a fourth-year player.
Coley’s contract is identical. He got no guaranteed money or signing bonus and will make $825,000 for the 2020 season if he makes the team.
Washington was a core special teams player in 2019 but missed several games with injuries. He did not play at all on defense.
He will have to prove his worth on special teams again to make the team.
Coley has a chance to make the team and be at least a rotational player on the defensive line.
