According to Adam Schefter, the Cardinals are signing WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette to a one-year contract.
He was on the Giants’ practice squad this past year but was not part of the batch of players they brought back on futures contracts.
Smith-Marsette, 26, was drafted by the Vikings in the fifth round out of Iowa in the 2021 NFL Draft. Minnesota opted to waive him coming out of the preseason in his second season and he was claimed by the Bears.
Chicago elected to cut him loose, and he then caught on with the Chiefs’ practice squad.
Kansas City re-signed Smith-Marsette to a futures contract in February of 2023 before trading him to Carolina. He returned to the Panthers on a one-year deal in 2024 before being waived at the start of the regular season and catching on with the Giants.
Smith-Marsette re-signed with the Giants for the 2025 season and re-signed to the practice squad coming out of the preseason.
In 2024, Smith-Marsette appeared in 15 games for the Giants and returned 29 punts for 228 yards (7.9 average) and 11 kickoffs for 381 yards and a touchdown.
