Cardinals Have Made WR Jordan Matthews Contract Offer

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Cardinals have made free agent WR Jordan Matthews a contract offer.

However, it doesn’t appear to be good enough to prevent him from meeting with other teams, seeing as he’s already visited with the Packers and Patriots since traveling to Arizona a few weeks ago.

According to Mike Jurecki, Matthews is asking for $5 million per year.

Matthews has dealt with a number of injuries in recent years and given where we are in the NFL offseason, it’s unlikely that he’ll secure a solid contract. Instead, Matthews could be looking at a one-year, prove-it deal with a team and then hit the open market again in 2019.

Matthews, 25, is a former second-round pick of the Eagles back in 2014. The Eagles traded Matthews and a 2018 third-round pick to the Bills in return for CB Ronald Darby last year.

Matthews played out the final year of his four-year, $4,949,269 contract and made a base salary of $1,094,901 for the 2017 season.

In 2017, Matthews appeared in 10 games and caught 25 passes for 282 yards receiving and one touchdown for the Bills. Unfortunately, Matthews’ season ended with him being placed on injured reserve.
