The Arizona Cardinals announced the signing of four players Wednesday.

The team added receivers Jarrett Dillard and Robert Gill as well as offensive lineman Paul Fanaika and tight end Alex Gottlieb.

He spent the majority of his rookie season on the practice squad before moving on to the Seattle Seahawks. He played in three games but was released by the team on Aug. 31, 2012.

Dillard played 21 games — with five starts — for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and tallied 35 receptions for 398 yards and one touchdown.

Gill spent two seasons in the Arena Football League, and was most recently win the AFL’s San Antonio Talons.

Gottlieb signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2012, but was released in the team’s final roster cuts on Aug. 31.
