Happy Tuesday one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals continue to fillout their 2026 offseason roster, with players who could also help during the season.
From the team:
The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that exclusive rights free agent kicker Joshua Karty and defensive lineman P.J. Mustipher have both signed their one-year tenders. The signings took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ.
Karty (6-2, 207) joined Arizona’s active roster in Week 17
last season from the Rams practice squad and was inactive the final two games of the season. He kicked in 25 games with the Rams (2024-25) after entering the league with Los Angeles as a sixth-round pick (209th overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft from Stanford.
Karty scored 172 points during his time with the Rams after making 39-of-49 field goal attempts and 55 PATs. The 24-year-old kicked in all 17 games as a rookie in 2024 and scored 119 points after connecting on 29-of-34 field goal attempts. He kicked in eight games with the Rams in 2025 prior to being released and re-signed to the practice squad.
Mustipher (6-4, 320) appeared in 15 games for the Cardinals last season and had a career-high 32 tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed. A three-year NFL veteran, Mustipher joined the Cardinals in 2024 and spent that season on Arizona’s practice squad after being with the Eagles in the offseason.
Signed by Denver in 2023 as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Penn State, the 26-year-old Mustipher was on the Broncos practice squad in 2023 before signing to the Saints active roster where he appeared in four games and posted four tackles and a quarterback pressure.
Mustipher had a nice season last year, as a reserve defensive lineman and can be a fine end of the depth chart.
Karty will give the Cardinals a nice option to pit against Chad Ryland this offseason.
