Arizona Cardinals sign veteran TE Josiah Deguara, who has lots of special teams experience
Arizona Cardinals sign veteran TE Josiah Deguara, who has lots of special teams experience Deguara is now the most experienced tight end on the roster. He has played over 200 special teams snaps for the last three seasons. The Arizona Cardinals announced a roster move on Monday as they moved into Phase 2 of the offseason program. They announced the addition of veteran tight end Josiah Deguara, signing him to a one-year deal. Deguara was a third-round pick in 2020 by the Green Bay Packers after playing collegiately for Cincinnati. He played four seasons for Green Bay and then last season for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is 6-foot-2 and listed at 238 pounds on the roster, making him the smallest tight end on the roster. He has played 65 games in five seasons, including 63 in the last four. He has 50 career receptions for 450 yards and two touchdowns, with a career-high of 25 receptions for 245 yards and both career scores coming in 2021 for the Packers. Over the last four years, his offensive playing time has decreased every year from 367 snaps in 2021 to 87 last year, but his special teams playing time has increased each year, from eight as a rookie to 132 in 2021, 200 in 2022, 219 in 2023 and 243 last season. He has 11 career special teams tackles and had a career-high five last season. The Cardinals have a seemingly set top three tight ends in Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman. Travis Vokolek was on the 53-man roster all last year but was active only once. Deguara will compete for a spot on the roster this offseason, probably for Vokolek's spot. He is the most experienced tight end on the Cardinals' roster now. He is the 91st player on the offseason roster. They are allowed 91 because of the international exemption they are using on undrafted rookie offensive lineman Valentin Senn.
