It’s uncertain who will be under center for the Cardinals to begin the 2026 campaign, but the team is adding some certainty on the offensive line. The team has agreed to a deal with free agent guard Isaac Seumalo, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
It’s a three-year, $31.5MM deal for the recent Steelers starter, per Rapoport.
A 2016 third-round pick, Seumalo had a long stint in Philly to begin his career. The lineman spent seven seasons with the Eagles, although much of his tenure was highlighted by injury. He was limited to only 12 combined appearances between 2020 and 2021, but he did rebound with a 17-game showing in 2022.
He ended up parlaying that performance into a three-year, $24MM deal with the Steelers in 2023, and he remained relatively healthy during his tenure with the team. Seumalo missed only seven regular season games across his three campaigns in Pittsburgh, and he earned a Pro Bow nod during his second year with the organization. He continued his production in 2025, with Pro Football Focus grading him 16th among 79 qualifying guards.
Now, he’ll be taking his talents to Arizona. Evan Brown seems to have a firm hold on the LG gig in Arizona, meaning Seumalo will likely bump Isaiah Adams out of the RG job. However, the Cardinals offensive line remains in flux. Tackles Jonah Williams and Kelvin Beachum are free agents, as is oft-injured guard Will Hernandez.
