The Arizona Cardinals re-signed veteran Wide Receiver Zay Jones to a one-year $4.4 million deal on Tuesday. His first season with the Cardinals got off to a miserable start as he was suspended for the first five games of the 2024 regular season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The suspension stemmed from misdemeanor domestic battery after an argument with the mother of his child. The charges were later dropped against Jones.
This turmoil led to Jones struggling to find his footing with the team in 2024. He finished the season with 8 receptions for 84 yards. Will Jones contribute to the Arizona Cardinals in 2025?
Arizona Cardinals Offseason Outlook
Arizona has upgraded its team on both sides of the ball this offseason. They re-signed Offensive Tackles Kelvin Beachum and Evan Brown. They also signed star Linebacker Josh Sweat to a lucrative contract on Monday. He is coming off a dominant performance for the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
Jones returns to an Arizona offense with some talent. Quarterback Kyler Murray will lead the unit alongside Running Back James Conner, Wide Receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., and Tight End Trey McBride. Arizona’s offense was 11th last season in yards per game and 18th in passing yards per game.
Final Thoughts
Jones will look to have a quiet offseason and be a key piece for the Arizona Cardinals in 2025. He has been inconsistent throughout his NFL career. Arizona’s offense can be one of the league’s best next season, and Jones hopes to be a part of that.
