The Arizona Cardinals are signing former Chicago Bears wide receiver and return specialist Devin Duvernay to a one-year deal, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The deal is worth $2.5 million, Schultz adds.
Duvernay has 141 yards from scrimmage over the last three years (Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens) but has continued to impact special teams since his back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons as a returner in 2021-22, including a first-team All-Pro selection in 2021.
He averaged 11 yards per punt return and 26.7 yards per kick return in 2025, the latter of which ranked second for any season in his career.
Duvernay led the NFL on punt returns in his All-Pro season at 13.8 yards per try. He is yet to take a punt to the house but did so with two kicks across his first three seasons.
Greg Dortch manned the return gig for Arizona in 2025, averaging 11.6 yards across 16 punt returns and 26.2 yards on 31 kick returns. Dortch is an unrestricted free agent.
Duvernay had 90 receptions for 880 yards and five touchdowns across his first three seasons but has just 17 receptions in the three years since.
He is the second newcomer at wide receiver for the Cardinals this free agency, joining former San Francisco 49ers wideout Kendrick Bourne. Arizona also brought back Simi Fehoko, who appeared in eight games last season.
