OL Matt Pryor signing with Cardinals on 1-year contract

The Arizona Cardinals agreed to a one-year contract with offensive lineman Matt Pryor, the team announced.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo was first to report the signing.

The 6-foot-7, 332-pound offensive lineman is coming off his second stint with the Philadelphia Eagles. He took 124 snaps across 17 games (one start) last season and lined up at every spot on the line except center.

His primary spot was right guard, followed by right tackle, left guard and left tackle.

Before reuniting with Philadelphia last year, the 2018 sixth-round NFL Draft pick spent time with the Chicago Bears (2024), San Francisco 49ers (2023), Indianapolis Colts (2021-22) and the Eagles (2018-20).

He’s appeared in 109 games during that span and started in 40 of them.

A good portion of his starts came in 2024 with the Bears. Playing primarily at right guard, Pryor started 15 of his 17 games played with Chicago.

The Cardinals entered the offseason needing some serious upgrades along the offensive line, with right tackle ranking above the rest.

Former free-agent addition and right tackle Jonah Williams did not pan out during his Cardinals tenure. Kelvin Beachum provided a strong swing option and started 11 games in 2025 but is an unrestricted free agent. He could also decide to retire after 14 seasons.

Pryor at least presents an option for the Cardinals to consider at right tackle and can also provide another body on special teams.

He can move over to guard if needed, though Isaac Seumalo and Evan Brown figure to be the leading candidates at those starting roles.
