2025 Arizona Cardinals offseason roster profile: CB Ekow Boye-Doe
The Arizona Cardinals are in offseason mode and we are days away from free agency and weeks from the NFL draft. Leading up to the new league year, we will take a look at each player on the roster or signed to a reserve deal and break down where they stand with the team.
We will look at their 2024 season, their contract status and what their status is for the coming offseason and 2025 season.
Next up is cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe.
2024 Ekow Boye-Doe stats, season
An undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023, Boye-Dowe played in six games that season, but was waived on Aug. 26, 2024. He spent the final 26 days of the season on the practice squad of the New York Giants, but that contract expired on Jan. 13, 2025.
2025 contract status
On the same day that his practice-squad contract expired, Boye-Doe signed a reserve/futures contract with the Cardinals. If on the roster during the regular season, his salary with be $960,000, the minimum for players with one credited season.
Outlook for 2025
One of many cornerbacks on the Cardinals offseason roster, Boye-Doe has to be considered a longshot to win a roster spot. Depending on how the numbers work out, he could be a candidate for the practice squad.

Why Shedeur Sanders's demeanor was the most impressive part of Browns debut
Yahoo Sports host Andrew Siciliano, senior NFL writer Frank Schwab and senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein discuss the Browns rookie quarterback's performance in Friday's preseason game and what it could mean for him moving forward. Hear the full conversation on 'Inside Coverage' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Frank, what really stood out to me is, is, and let's forget about, actually we can't forget about it. Obviously, the hype was there with the way he entered the building, uh, with cornerback Tony Brown by his side with a massive speaker on wheels blasting one of Shidoor's unreleased tracks that got a lot of pop. And a lot of cameras, and there was some national, there was a national network that described Tony Brown, a 6-year veteran of the NFL, a former track champion in high school, coming out of Texas as a member of his entourage, not just like a core special teams player who played 32 defensive snaps that night. Um, but when you saw all that hype, I think there were some people that were like, oh boy, here we go. But then he got out there and he looked the part. But Joey, the, the demeanor and the like, been there, done that calmness, and I think even the modesty on the Sideline when he was interviewed in game on the local news five broadcast with our friend Adii Kingawala where he didn't want to say, yeah, I did it, look at me, he gave himself Joy, a C grade when Adii asked him for a grade and all he did was point out the things he did wrong. Yeah, I love you mention the secrets and I we'll get to the Giants and Jackson Dart, who called his performance mid when asked by Brian D. So some say C, some say mid, some say average. We have to keep up with all of the terms. But I think for me, did we really ever have questions whether Shado Sanders was a gamer and whether he had the instincts and whether he can play backyard football. I think the question when I was there during mini camp was much more, hey, how can he operate the offense? Can he operate it cleanly? Can he make decisions at the line of scrimmage? Can he get all the moving parts rather than just rely on his own playmaking? And I think that's what the Browns were looking to see this weekend. Frank, I know you're in Colorado. I find it interesting you mentioned Tim Tebow, and listen, I'm not comparing them talent wise, I'm not comparing Shidoor and Tim Tebow. But what I am drawing the analogy or the the similarity here is the reaction online of, of the fans. Um, it's almost as if there's a, a Russian bot army out there, and I say that sarcastically. Any single piece of Shidor content, good, bad, indifferent. Matter of fact, presented without comment, will get. Like an amount of reaction that I don't know that I have ever seen since Tim Tebow. It is a polarization, um, a fanboy and I love to hate him that I have never seen since Tim Tebow. No, I, I, I mean, in some ways, and, and we kind of discussed this a little bit last week, one of the worst case scenarios for Kevin Stefanski was Shadour playing this well, and I'm not saying he's saying about Phil or anything like that. I'm saying now Stefanski can't stop the hype train. Like everybody's going to be asking about Shadour even more than they were before. And I think Shadour's been, it was very interesting and you brought up his sideline interview with Adii and she she kept trying to, and she's great at her job, absolutely professional. She kept trying to get him to say something positive, right? Like, hey, but what about this? What were you proud of? What were you? And she just kept the same way all the time. I didn't do well enough. I got to do better. I'm not where I need to be. I thought that was a very professional approach for a guy who does get all this attention unprecedented for a 5th round pick. I've never seen that before ever. Close

TreVeyon Henderson's early returns paying off for Patriots
Yahoo Sports host Andrew Siciliano, senior NFL writer Frank Schwab and senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein discuss why New England is already feeling very high about their rookie running back. Hear the full conversation on 'Inside Coverage' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen.n.l View more Video Transcript You're watching inside coverage on Yahoo. I'm Andrew Ceciliano in the middle of your screen. Frank Schwab, Jerry Epstein on the other side of your screen, people you know and love and trust and respect, and read, and coming up in a matter of minutes you are going to read, you are hereby demanded and and and remanded and ordered to read. Jury's piece on Travon Henderson, the 38th overall pick in the draft, part of a great 12 combination that Ohio State ran and rode to a national championship last year with Quinon Judkins. Travon Henderson in his debut for the England Patriots. All he did Joy was bust off a 100 yard kickoff return for a touchdown, um, run for 18 yards, 12 yards receiving, so 30 yards from scrimmage. He may not be the biggest, he may not be a workhorse, but wow, he's special. Special and versatile. I mean, like you said, you've got the carry, you've got the catches, you've got the return touchdown. I mean, when you talk about getting juice into a team en route to what ended up being what, a 48 point preseason outing, this is a guy who, who catches the return, and then he says, OK, no matter that I'm at the goal line, I see where I wanna go. I know where I want to break these tackles. It doesn't matter if the first guy's coming at me 20 yards and I'm gonna keep going for 80 more and have multiple. I think there's at least. Three commanders scrawled out by the time he got to the 50, and he just kept going and, and just everyone at the Patriots was fired up. I visited them on Sunday of this week, so after their game, and they were all just like, look at this guy, he's explosive, he's versatile, he's special, and he's still learning and oh by the way, on top of all the statistical elements, he's physical and pass protection, and they're really impressed with that. And so I, I was talking to their de facto general manager Elliot Wolf, the VP player personnel, I should say the. Official title and Elliot Wolf was telling me that going into the 2nd round of the draft, he says, you know what, there are about 3 players who we'd be really excited to have. I'm going to sit down and watch all of them and review them going into the draft, and he queues up about 100 runs that Treveon Henderson had specifically against good teams. That was the way that Elliott put it. I didn't ask him what that threshold was, and he gets 15 runs in and he's like, what am I doing? Like, this is our guy. Close

Brandon Aiyuk injury update: 49ers WR expected back about Week 6
The Cardinals play the 49ers in Week 3. Brandon Aiyuk isn't expected to be back from his knee injury by then. The Arizona Cardinals will likely not have to face one of the better wide receivers in the NFC West in one of their two games with the San Francisco 49ers. Their first matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, on the road in Week 3, 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk is not expected to play. They do have somewhat of a timeline, though. Head coach Kyle Shanahan estimated that Aiyuk could return in Week 6. He is currently on the PUP list as he recovers from the serious knee injury he suffered in Week 7 last season, tearing both his ACL and MCL. That means the 49ers' top two receivers in Week 3 will be Jauan Jennings and second-year receiver Ricky Pearsall. The, of course, still have running back Christian McCaffrey and tight end George Kittle, but their passing attack will not be as potent without the dynamic threat that Aiyuk is. In 2023, his last healthy season, he had 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns. In his last game against the Cardinals in Week 5 of 2024, he had eight receptions for 147 yards.
