The Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday signed outside linebacker Zach McCloud, who spent this offseason with the Tennessee Titans before the team released him Aug. 16.
The Cardinals list him as a true edge rusher, where he joins a room with plenty of younger players.
Zaven Collins, Dennis Gardeck, Cameron Thomas, Myjai Sanders, Victor Dimukeje, Jesse Luketa and David Anenih are the other outside backers on the roster.
