The Arizona Cardinals have signed 20 players to contracts for 2021 on futures deals. They brought back a number of players who were on their practice squad.
However, as found on the NFL transaction report, three players who finished the season on the practice squad had their contracts simply expire.
All are veterans.
Cornerback Prince Amukamara, tight end Evan Baylis and defensive lineman Stacy McGee can now sign with a team if they want.
Practice squad players’ contracts end at the end of the season unlike those on the active roster, whose deals end when the new league year starts.
Either the Cardinals did not want to bring them back or these players simply did not want to agree to a minimum deal in January without testing the market.
McGee and Baylis both played games for the Cardinals this season. Amukamara never was elevated to the 53-man roster.
