The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team.
Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2025, questions they face and their roster outlook.
Here is receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette.
Smith enters his first season with the Cardinals and his sixth in the NFL. He was drafted in the fifth round in 2021 by the Minnesota Vikings and has spent time with them, the Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, Carolina Panthers and New York Giants on their active rosters. He spent most of last season on the Giants' practice squad and did not play in a game. He signed a futures deal with the Cardinals after the season.
His deal pays him more than $1.2 million in 2026 if he makes the team. His contract is a qualifying veteran deal, so the cap hit is a reduced $1.08 million.
He is a longshot to make the roster, but he has a shot with his experience as a returner. However, with Devin Duvernay also on the roster, it appears that he is likely outside the group.
