The Arizona Cardinals have been busy in the offseason working in free agency, re-signing players who were on the team last season and adding new ones in free agency.
Two Cardinals players already under contract got bonuses.
Running back James Conner and starting right guard Will Hernandez each received roster bonuses as part of their contracts.
Both are entering the final year of their contracts and often teams use a roster bonus to make a decision about keeping a player on the roster moving forward, extending him or moving on.
The league year began March 13. Conner was due a $1.5 million roster bonus on March 18. Hernandez was due a $500,000 roster bonus on the same date.
Conner is due a salary of $4.235 million in 2024 and up to $255,000 in per-game roster bonuses.
Hernandez’ 2024 salary is $3.15 million and can make up to $425,000 in per-game roster bonuses.
