Cardinals Sign WR Zay Jones

Arizona adds a veteran receiver as the team's depth at the position has thinned considerably.

The Arizona Cardinals are signing wide receiver Zay Jones, according to multiple reports cited by ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). It is unclear whether Jones is joining the active roster or the practice squad — the team has not confirmed that detail.

Jones is a low-upside flier at best right now. Arizona's WR room has been gutted — Marvin Harrison Jr. was traded on Oct. 11, and the team placed Jalen Brooks on season-ending injured reserve on Tuesday — so there is a real opportunity for Jones to log snaps if he lands on the active roster. But the signing format is still unknown, and even as an active receiver he'd be stepping into a thin depth chart rather than a featured role. Jones is 31 and returning from a torn Achilles that cost him most of 2025, so trust in his health and burst is limited. He's a waiver wire name to monitor once his roster status is confirmed, not someone to add speculatively today.
