Arizona Cardinals 4th-round pick, LB Cody Simon, signs 4-year rookie contract

[ASFN Admin]

The Arizona Cardinals have signed another of their seven 2025 draft picks. The latest is linebacker Cody Simon, selected in the fourth round with the 115th overall pick out of Ohio State.

Simon signed his four-year rookie deal on Monday at the team facility.

He is the fifth draft pick to sign his rookie deal.

As a fourth-round pick, his salary will be the league minimum each year. None of the salary will be guaranteed. He will receive a signing bonus. There will likely be a two-year split, meaning his salary will drop to a lower amount if he spends the season on injured reserve.

Cards Wire will have full details of the deal in a few days.

This is his bio from the team:

Simon (6-2, 229) served as a team captain last season at Ohio State and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection after leading the National Champion Buckeyes with career-highs in tackles (112), tackles for loss (13), sacks (7.0) and passes defensed (seven). He was named the Defensive Player of the Game in both Ohio State playoff victories at the Rose Bowl over Oregon and the CFP National Championship Game over Notre Dame. During his five seasons at Ohio State, Simon played in 58 games (30 starts) and had 259 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks, 11 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one interception. He was also a four-time OSU Scholar-Athlete and four-time Academic All-Big Ten selection.

With Simon's signing, only two of the Cardinals' draft picks are unsigned.
