TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent tight end Jermaine Gresham to a one-year contract Friday.

Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Gresham is a two-time Pro Bowl selection who spent five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals after being drafted 21st overall out of Oklahoma in 2010.

Gresham has 280 receptions for 2,722 yards and 24 touchdowns in 74 career games. Last season, he caught 62 passes for 460 yards and five touchdowns.

Nice weapon for them - doesn't strike fear in me or anything, but a good solid pick up. The key for them will be Palmer. Can he get back to form or will he still show issues from the acl.

Surprised he didn't end up with Bradford again.

@CGI_Ram was right on this, he posted just days ago I fear Gresham winds up in Arizona...I salute you sir now can you give six numbers please!

Doesn't matter who they pick up when Palmer on the ground he can't throw to them.

One of the more over rated draft picks on the past decade. Had some decent years but he's nothing special.

Stanton is an okay back-up problem began when they lost both QB's and I believe if Palmer gets hurt again and Stanton has issues too, then there is little doubt that Logan Thomas would be playing, however, I truly wish Head Coach Bruce Arians a sub par season in 2015 although I think he's one heck of a Head Coach and it kills me to post that.

At this point considering what the cards have fielded, it was a worth a 1 year shot.

To me the "head of the monster" for their offense is Fitzgerald. If you shut him down, which is hard to do, then they seem to be average. I know he is getting up there in years, but their team feeds off his emotion. Palmer hopefully struggles this year and Stanton too. Much to ask, but it can happen.

Very true, though all you need vs us is Fitz that glorious bastard

The glory days of his are definitely behind, but a breakout game or 3 would remind me of the good ol' days .

heh Fitz could come out with a walker and still have a day vs us. Most touchdowns and receptions in his career vs the Rams, only like 20 yards behind the Whiners.

Hahah thanks for the laugh.

I agree that Gresham looks like a good pickup for the Cards.

He'll be on a I year prove it contract. Just like Britt was for us last year and Fairley is this year.

Another extremely low risk but high reward move. I just wish Gresham had landed in another division. Sigh...

Hats off to the Cards.

Meh, til he actually proves it nobody has anything to be afraid of in Jermaine Gresham.

Especially not on his second go around with an inferior, aged Palmer.

It sounds like insurance. For when the Rams 'Take-out Graham in week#1!
The Rams do tend to cover TE's well!!

 

[ram007]

Gresham is the poster child for Mirage Not worried

He spoke with Chip Kelly but Chip sensed a bit of insolence in his tone and didn't want him. Rather pickup a UDFA that he can control.

I don't think it can be considered insurance if the player you say he is insurance for, plays on a completely different team lol.

My Error!! for some reason I was thinking of the 'Hags! OOPS!!
Either way, the TE's on both Teams will be going Down!!
