The Arizona Cardinals have made strides in finalizing their roster by signing Cody Simon, the team's fourth-round pick from Ohio State, to a four-year rookie contract. Simon is the fifth of the Cardinals' seven draft selections to put pen to paper, with two others still unsigned. The 6'2", 229-pound linebacker served as a team captain in his final season at Ohio State and was recognized as a first-team All-Big Ten selection.

This contract offers Simon a base salary at the league minimum each year, alongside a signing bonus. However, none of his salary is guaranteed, and there is a possibility of a two-year split in salary should he end up on injured reserve during his first season. The Cardinals will reveal further details of Simon's deal in the coming days.
