Free-agent offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum re-signed with the Arizona Cardinals on a two-year deal on Monday, according to sources. Beachum has started 147 games in his career with the Cardinals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets over 11 NFL seasons. The 33-year-old didn't miss a single game in the desert in 2022 in his third year with the Cards. Beachum has starting experience at both left and right tackle, but he'll be slated to start at right tackle again for the team in 2023. He's scheduled to make $5.15 million on his two-year contract to remain in the Cardinals organization.
The Arizona Cardinals agreed to terms to re-sign offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum to an undisclosed two-year deal on Tuesday. Beachum started all 16 games at right tackle in 2020 and was a leader both on the field and in the locker room. He allowed just three sacks all season and graded out at a solid 69.0, with a 76.8 grade in pass-blocking, according to Pro Football Focus. Beachum will be the early favorite for the right tackle spot in 2021, but Josh Jones and Marcus Gilbert could also factor in at the position at some point. Gilbert opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 and has a year left on his contract, but he has yet to announce if he plans to return for the 2021 season.
The Arizona Cardinals signed offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum to a one-year deal on Friday to bolster their offensive line depth. Beachum was a seventh-round pick of the Steelers back in 2012 and played the last three seasons with the Jets, starting at left tackle in all 45 games for Gang Green. He has started 99 of his 104 games in the NFL and will give Arizona an experienced left tackle backup behind starter D.J. Humphries. Marcus Gilbert, Justin Murray and third-rounder Josh Jones will compete for the starting right tackle job in training camp this summer.
