Mike Garafolo reports that the Cardinals are re-signing K Chad Ryland to a one-year contract.
Ryland, 26, started his career at Eastern Michigan before transferring to Maryland. He was drafted by the Patriots with the No. 112 pick in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
He was entering the second year of a four-year, $4.26 million rookie contract that included a $786,748 signing bonus when the Patriots waived him coming out of camp in 2024.
From there, Ryland signed with the Cardinals’ practice squad in October 2024, and eventually signed to the active roster on a two-year deal a few weeks later.
In 2025, Ryland appeared in all 17 games for the Cardinals and made 25 of 33 field goal attempts (75.8 percent) and 36 of 36 extra points.
