The Arizona Cardinals have signed offensive linemen Parker Ehinger and Patrick Lawrence, linebacker Hayes Pullard and wide receiver Isaac Zico, the team announced in a press release on Friday.
The Cardinals also announced that they have released offensive lineman Tariq Cole and running back Xavier Turner.
Ehinger was selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Cincinnati by the Kansas City Chiefs. He started four of the five games he played his rookie season before being placed on injured reserve.
The former Chief only started one game for Kansas City in 2017 before being traded to the Dallas Cowboys last year where he would eventually be put on injured reserve once again. Ehinger has spent this offseason with the Cowboys and most recently the Jacksonville Jaguars, who released the 26-year-old on May 9.

Lawrence is an undrafted rookie from Baylor who started 37 consecutive games at tackle in his 51 appearances. In his time in college, the 23-year-old was named to the Academic All-Big 12 team three times as well as the all-academic first team twice (2017, 2019).
Pullard has the most NFL experience under his belt of the four signings. The four-year veteran was drafted in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns out of USC.
The linebacker started his rookie campaign on the practice squad before eventually signing with the Jaguars where he would appear in 24 games over a two-year stretch. Pullard has a career 114 tackles (76 solo), one interception, one fumble and 15 special teams tackles in 46 games played (12 starts) and was a back up linebacker on the Chargers in 2017 and 2018.
Zico is another undrafted rookie out of Purdue where he had 52 catches for 777 yards and seven touchdowns in 24 games (15 starts). But his senior year is when he did most of that damage, accumulating 46 receptions for 743 yards and six touchdowns.
The wide receiver signed with the Tennessee Titans following this year’s draft, but was released on May 14.
