- Arizona Cardinals DL L.J. Collier contract details, cap hit
The Arizona Cardinals had a busy day Monday and one of the players they agreed to terms with was defensive lineman L.J. Collier . He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the league year Wednesday.
He played only four games in 2025 because of a knee injury, but can provide depth and leadership on the line.

We have the details of his one-year contract.
L.J. Collier contract details
Collier's contract is worth $2 million and has $750,000 guaranteed, which includes a $350,000 signing bonus and $400,000 of his $1.265 million base salary.
There are also $20,000 per-game roster bonuses for a maximum total of $340,000 and a $45,000 offseason workout bonus.
Because he played four games last season, only $80,000 of the roster bonuses count against this year's salary cap. That creates a cap charge of $1.74 million.
Because the team's 51-player cutoff was $1.005 million, one player is bumped, which creates a net addition of $735,000 to the current salary cap.

After the contracts were added for Collier and kicker Chad Ryland , the cutoff is now $1.017 million.
