Cardinals sign TE Maxx Williams to 2-year contract extension

He has 11 catches for 139 yards this season but coach Kliff Kingsbury thinks very highly of him and his play this season.

The Arizona Cardinals have been pleased with what they have seen from tight end Maxx Williams this season. They want to keep him around, too.

The team announced Saturday Williams signed a contract extension that will keep him with the team through 2021. He was set to become a free agent after the season.

Williams was signed in the offseason after the Baltimore Ravens released him.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury has been very complimentary of Williams. He has praised his hands, his blocking and has even called him one of the best tight ends in the league.

The former second-round pick has appeared in every game this season and has started five of them. He has 11 catches for 139 yards and one touchdown.

His addition was a sneaky-good signing. We will have to wait and see about the financials to see if it is contract of good value. At 24 years of age, he still should have quite a bit of football left in him.

Studs and duds in Cardinals’ 30-27 loss to Bucs

Christian Kirk had a huge game. David Johnson struggled in his return.

The Arizona Cardinals had some solid performances from players on Sunday when they lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-27. Some players did not perform as well.

Who were the studs and duds in the game?

Stud: WR Christian Kirk

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Kirk was huge. He had six receptions for 138 yards and three touchdowns. It was the first time a player had three receiving touchdowns since Larry Fitzgerald did it in 2015. He had not had a touchdown all season. He doubled his career touchdown total. Based on his production in his seven games played so far this season, he is on pace for 75 catches and 867 yards. Not bad for a 13-game season.
