The Arizona Cardinals announced on Tuesday that the team has signed 15 players to future contracts for the 2021 season.

The team signed four wide receivers in A.J. Richardson, JoJo Ward, Isaac Whitney, Krishawn Hogan; three linebackers in Evan Weaver, Terrance Smith and Reggie Walker; and two cornerbacks in Jace Whittaker and Picasso Nelson.

Arizona also signed kicker Brett Maher, defensive lineman Michael Dogbe, safety Chris Miller, running back Khalfani Muhammad, offensive lineman Koda Martin and tight end Ian Bunting.

Of the 15 players signed, 14 were on the Cardinals practice squad this season.

The only one that wasn’t was Bunting, who originally entered the NFL with the Chicago Bears in 2019 as an undrafted free agent out of Cal.

The tight end spent his rookie year on the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts practice squad, the latter of which he also spent time with during training camp earlier this season.

Bunting, 24, appeared in 47 games (12 starts) over the course of his college career at Michigan (2014-17) and Cal (2018).
