A low-risk, but high-reward deal that could pay off for Arizona by investing in the former second-round pick. 

Cardinals to sign former Raiders DT Bilal Nichols

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, former Raiders DT Bilal Nichols will earn a three-year contract from the Cards worth up to $21 million. $14.4 million is guaranteed upon signing.

This position was certainly a need and this deal helps the Cardinals avoid the top-of-market defensive tackle market. A former fifth-round pick by the Chicago Bears, Nichols has a lot of good football left ahead of him at just 27 years old. 

Cardinals to sign former Bears DT Justin Jones

NFL Network's Peter Schrager reports that Bears DT Justin Jones is signing a three-year deal worth $30.1M with the Cardinals. A third-round draft pick by the Chargers in 2018, Jones should compete for a starting role in Arizona.
