The Arizona Cardinals had made another trade. After sending running back Corey Kiner to the New England Patriots , they have acquired a tight end. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport, they traded for Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Hunter Long.
Long is entering his sixth NFL season. He spent two years with the Miami Dolphins , who drafted him in the third round in 2021. He spent 2023-2024 with the Los Angeles Rams , where he crossed paths with Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur, who was the Rams' offensive coordinator both years Long was there.

He had 12 receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns for the Jaguars last season. He is under contract through 2026 and will make $2 million in salary, $1 million of which is guaranteed.
Long has played all 17 games in a season only once — in 2024.
With Tip Reiman expected to start the season on the PUP reserve, Long gives the Cardinals a proven blocking tight end.
The terms of the trade were not immediately reported.
