Cardinals DL Kaleb Proctor signs rookie contract

Arizona Cardinals 2026 NFL Draft pick Kaleb Proctor signed his rookie contract on Monday.

The news of the signing comes after Arizona’s minicamps and organized team activities.

Proctor was taken in the fourth round (No. 104 overall) after playing four seasons at Southeastern Louisiana.

The Southland Player of the Year recorded nine sacks and 13 tackles for loss in 13 games played last year.

Proctor projected as a potential rotational piece for Arizona’s defense early on. He, however, went down with a torn meniscus during OTAs and is expected to miss a sizeable amount of time.

“He’ll miss quite a bit of time, if not — and I don’t want to say absolute — the whole year,” head coach Mike LaFleur said at the end of minicamp.

Only 1 Cardinals rookie remains unsigned after Kaleb Proctor put pen to paper

The only Cardinals rookie who hasn’t signed his rookie deal is third-round quarterback Carson Beck.

That hasn’t stopped Beck from taking part in rookie minicamp, OTAs and veteran minicamp.
