It has been said there’s very little rest for the weary in the NFL, and that’s especially the case at this time of the year.
The transactions have been in the hundreds around the league in the first week of the 2024 league year and the Cardinals have been a big part of that.
Eleven players have been re-signed and another eight added that ended the 2023 season on another team. The total includes four players re-signed prior to the official opening of the league year on Wednesday: wide receiver Greg Dortch, defensive end L.J. Collier, linebacker Jesse Luketa and tackle/guard Carter O’Donnell.
Prior to Saturday, we reported on the contract details for 11 players. Cards Wire learned the numbers for another six today, leaving only wide receiver Chris Moore and defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga with unknown figures.
The six are punter Blake Gillikin, long snapper Aaron Brewer, offensive linemen Elijah Wilkinson, Trystan Colon and Keith Ismael and cornerback Bobby Price.
Trystan Colon contract, salary cap info
He signed a one-year contract worth $1.75 million with $450,000 guaranteed: a $250,000 signing bonus plus $200,000 of his $1.125 million salary. He can also earn $375,000 ($22,059 per game) by being active for all 17 games.
Colon’s cap hit for 2024 is $1,705,882.
Colon was claimed on waivers by the Cardinals from the Jets in the roster reduction to 53 last summer and began sharing snaps at left guard with Wilkinson early in the season. He played 14 games, started four, did not play in one that he was active and was inactive for two games when sidelined because of a knee injury.
