Matt Pryor Lights Up Cards' Offensive with Stellar Draft Day Performance!
The Cardinals added OL Matt Pryor in free agency. We grade the free agent addition for 2026.
The first week of NFL free agency is basically in the books. The Arizona Cardinals have been active, although they have not made any real significant moves like last offseason. It is time to start grading their initial moves.
We don't know how they will actually work out, as the season is still months away, but based on need, fit and value, we can give initial grades. Let's look at offensive lineman Matt Pryor. Grading the Cardinals' signing of Matt Pryor Grade: C Pryor got a one-year, league-minimum deal worth $1.
3 million. While initially, some believed that be might be the signing to be the Cardinals' starting right tackle, his contract shows that he is, at best, experienced depth on the roster. He has 40 career starts, split between tackle and guard.
He started 15 games in 2024 at right guard for the Chicago Bears. He can play four of the five offensive line positions. Position versatility is critical for depth, but it is a signing that inspires nothing.
