2025 Arizona Cardinals training camp roster preview: WR Tejhaun Palmer
We will preview every player on the Cardinals roster leading up to training camp. This is about WR Tejhaun Palmer. The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team. Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook. This focuses on receiver Tejhaun Palmer. Tejhaun Palmer background, 2024 season Palmer was drafted by the Cardinals in the sixth round in 2024 out of UAB, where he played three seasons. Last year, he did not make the 53-man roster out of training camp but spent the season on the practice squad. Tejhaun Palmer 2025 contract details, cap hit After the 2024 season, he signed a futures deal for 2025. He will make $840,000 in salary, the league minimum for a player with no accrued seasons. His cap hit will equal that amount, although the Cardinals also carry almost $139,000 in dead money because he was cut last year, accounting for his signing bonus. Questions he faces, roster outlook Palmer faces the same questions he did last year. He is an athletic, speedy receiver from a smaller program. Can he show he can adjust to the NFL game? And after a year on the practice squad, can he show enough in training camp and the preseason to make the roster? The receiver room is mostly set, so Palmer, at best, is a bubble player but is closer to a longshot to make the team. If not the active roster, he can compete for a spot on the practice squad again.

Arizona Cardinals Year 2 player outlook: WR Tejhaun Palmer
Arizona Cardinals Year 2 player outlook: WR Tejhaun Palmer A look at 2024 sixth-round pick Tejhaun Palmer and his second-year outlook in 2025. The Arizona Cardinals drafted 12 players in 2024. Some of them had contributions as rookies. Some will have greater roles in 2025. Others will have to battle for the roster. They selected receiver Tejhaun Palmer in the sixth round with the 191st overall pick. Entering Year 2 in the NFL, let's have a look at his 2025 outlook. WR Tejhaun Palmer's 2024 season Palmer spent the entire season on the practice squad. He played 110 snaps during the preseason, 89 of those snaps on the outside and 21 in the slot. He caught four passes for 51 yards. He was released before the season and re-signed to the practice squad, where he remains all 18 weeks of the season. Tejhaun Palmer's Year 2 outlook for 2025 2025 looks like, at best, another season on the practice squad. Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Zay Jones appear like locks for the first four spots. Xavier Weaver returns and the Cardinals signed Simi Fehoko. Palmer will have to beat at least one of them, depending on whether the Cardinals keep five or six receivers on the active roster.
