The Arizona Cardinals have completed their 2024 NFL Draft class, selecting 12 players over the seven rounds. They added three cornerbacks, two receivers, two offensive linemen, a running back, a tight end, a defensive lineman, an outside linebacker, and a safety.
With the NFL Draft concluding Saturday afternoon, teams start to scramble to get their priority rookie free agents signed and invites sent to others to participate in tryouts during rookie minicamp.
Which players are the Cardinals signing as undrafted free agents?
**Which UDFAs Did the Cardinals Sign? Contracts and Notable Names**
The Cardinals don’t have much room on the roster. With 76 players before the draft, they will have room for only two undrafted rookie free agents without having to cut players already on the roster.
Xavier Weaver’s contract includes $255,000 in guaranteed money, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
A 4.4-second 40-yard dash at his pro day impressed scouts and proved that Weaver has NFL speed to go along with his smooth route running. The Cardinals were one of at least 12 NFL teams at Weaver’s pro day earlier this month.
The 6′, 170-pound WR led Colorado with 68 receptions for 908 yards (13.4 yards per catch) and four touchdowns last season. Weaver racked up over 1,700 yards and eight touchdowns across four seasons (2019-2022) at USF before transferring to Colorado to play for Deion Sanders.
The team also signed 6’4″, 309-pound UNC interior defensive lineman Myles to add some depth to the front seven. Murphy tallied 24 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and one sack last season with the Tarheels.
Joe Shimko won the Patrick Mannelly Award in 2024 as the nation’s best long snapper. The Cardinals have a veteran long snapper in Aaron Brewer, who signed a new one-year deal and will return for his ninth season with the team.
**Who Will Be Attending the Cardinals’ Rookie Minicamp?**
Right now, there is no public information on which players are getting minicamp invites for the Cardinals.
However, what is known is that all signed and drafted rookies will be in attendance for the activities, with the assumed addition of more as invited minicamp attendees get announced.
The Cardinals drafted WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State; EDGE Darius Robinson, Missouri; CB Max Melton, Rutgers; RB Trey Benson, Florida State; OT Isaiah Adams, Illinois; TE Tip Reiman, Illinois; CB Elijah Jones, Boston College; S Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, Texas Tech; EDGE Xavier Thomas, Clemson; OT Christian Jones, Texas; WR Tejhaun Palmer, UAB; and CB Jaden Davis, Miami (FL).
**When Is the Cardinals’ Rookie Minicamp?**
Arizona’s rookie minicamp is set to take place May 10-12.
Players will be able to showcase their abilities on the field as the coaching staff and front office will get a closer look at prospects from the 2024 NFL Draft.
The rookie minicamp is not only important for the Cardinals UDFAs looking to earn an opportunity with the team, but it’s a key event for Arizona’s draft picks as well.
