The Arizona Cardinals announced a two-year contract extension for center Hjalte Froholdt on Tuesday. The reported $20 million deal put him in the top 10 of average center salaries.
It also established some future continuity in the starting offensive line.
With Froholdt under contract through 2028, all five of their current starters on the line are signed through at least next season.
-
Left tackle Paris Johnson is signed through 2027, and he has been in contract talks for an extension.
-
Left guard Isaac Seumalo signed a three-year deal in free agency this year. He is under contract through 2028.
-
Froholdt's contract runs through 2028.
-
Right guard Isaiah Adams' four-year rookie deal expires after 2027.
-
Right tackle Elijah Wilkinson signed a two-year contract this offseason, so he is contracted through 2027.
Adams and Wilkinson aren't likely the long-term options at those positions. Second-round rookie Bisontis is waiting in the wings at guard. Both Josh Fryar and Jayden Williams have shown promise. Right tackle might be a priority next offseason.
Even if it is, the Cardinals have ensured that they won't lose anyone unless they want to.
The Cardinals are actually planning with a little bit of foresight.
