The Arizona Cardinals signed two of their own key veteran special teams free agents.
From the team:
The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has re-signed long snapper Aaron Brewer to a one-year contract and safety Joey Blount to a two-year contract. The signings took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ.
Arizona’s longest-tenured player, Brewer (6-5, 232) has played in 132 regular season games with Arizona the past nine seasons (2016-24) after originally joining the Cardinals in 2016. The 34-year old Brewer appeared in all 17 games last year with the Cardinals, marking the ninth time in 13 NFL seasons he played in every game. He entered the league with Denver in 2012 as an undrafted rookie free agent out of San Diego State and snapped in all 64 regular season games and eight postseason contests in four seasons (2012-15) with the Broncos. In his career, Brewer has played in 196 regular season games and has 21 special teams tackles.
Blount (6-1, 201) played the last two seasons (2023-24) with Arizona after originally entering the league as a rookie free agent with Seattle in 2022. In two seasons with the Cardinals, the 26-year old Blount appeared in 26 games and had 16 tackles and two forced fumbles on special teams while adding an interception and a pass defensed on defense. Blount appeared in a career-high 15 games in 2024 and finished with seven tackles on special teams. In three NFL seasons with the Seahawks and Cardinals, Blount appeared in 37 games (one start) with 24 tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery on special teams to go along with an interception and pass defensed on defense.
Welcome back to both.
