Cardinals add veteran Josiah Deguara for depth at tight end

The Arizona Cardinals signed veteran tight end and special teams player Josiah Deguara on Monday.

He joins a tight end room led by 2024 Pro Bowl selection Trey McBride and reserves including veterans Travis Vokolek and Elijah Higgins, and rookie Oscar Cardenas, signed as a free agent after last month’s draft.

Deguara, 28, has 50 receptions on 61 targets for 450 yards and two touchdowns in 65 regular-season games over parts of five seasons with the Green Bay Packers (2020-23) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2024).

He caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in 15 games with the Jaguars. He also played a career-high 62 percent of special teams snaps (243). He has taken 939 offensive snaps and 802 special teams snaps in his career.

Green Bay selected Deguara in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
