Arizona The Arizona Cardinals declared that the seven players listed below had committed to contracts with the team through 2025:

Andre Baccellia, a wide receiver and cornerback Jaden Davis, a backup Hall, Darren
Lineman on offense Matthew Jones
Tejhaun Palmer, a wide receiver
The tight end Seikovits, Bernhard
Lineman on defense Stille, Ben

While Hall was a preseason favorite due to his performance in their secondary, Beccellia has been a regular member of Arizona’s practice squad for a few years. This season, Stille appeared in six games for the Cardinals.

According to the team’s official news release, all seven players were on Arizona’s practice squad at the end of the season.

With a victory over the San Francisco 49ers yesterday, the Cardinals wrapped up the 2024 regular season with eight wins overall, double their 2023 total.

Kyler Murray, the quarterback, thinks they will make the playoffs.

“Very near. After the victory on Sunday, Murray stated, “I think we’re literally a couple plays away from being a 10 win team. I mean, every team can say that.”

“I won’t stand here and gripe about some of the events that occurred during the season that, in my opinion, somewhat changed a few games. I believe that everyone, myself included, needs to examine themselves in the mirror to determine how they can improve for the upcoming season and then come out here and perform better the following year.

Now that they have the No. 16 choice in the 2025 NFL Draft at their disposal, Arizona enters the offseason with an effective cap space ranking of $72.9 million for 2025.

After a 6-11 season, George Kittle disagreed with Nick Bosa’s remarks regarding his 49ers teammates.

The San Francisco 49ers lost 47-24 to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, capping off another miserable season finale. In a game that encapsulates their disappointing 6-11 season, the 49ers’ once-dominant defense gave up six touchdowns to the Cardinals.

One of the team’s captains, defensive end Nick Bosa of San Francisco, acknowledged following the defeat that it’s difficult to look players in the face following yet another lackluster showing.

“As the team leader, it’s difficult to look guys in the face, and that’s the product that we kept putting out game after game,” Bosa remarked on Sunday. “It’s rather awkward.”

The tight end Another 49ers captain, George Kittle, disagreed with Bosa’s strategy of confronting their teammates when the season didn’t go their way.

“I can look all my teammates in the face,” Kittle said Monday to reporters. “I gave it everything I had. Many of the males also gave it their best shot. I’m not ashamed of that. If you’re satisfied with your resume as it appears on the tape, you should be satisfied with your season.

“We have much higher expectations for this organization,” Kittle stated. “We had greater standards for ourselves. Our objectives were more ambitious, and none of them were met. It is disheartening.

Kittle and Bosa, two of the 49ers’ greatest and most seasoned players, will share some of the burden of assisting this club in turning things around and making an effort to contend for the Super Bowl the following season. In 2024, the 49ers lost their winning ways due to injuries, decline, and off-field issues, despite having progressed to at least the NFC Championship Game in four of their previous six seasons. Whether or whether the 49ers can actually bounce back in 2025 will depend in part on how captains like Bosa and Kittle perform the following season.
