The Arizona Cardinals announced Friday that they’ve signed CB Bene Benwikere to a contract.
Arizona just lost veteran CB Tramon Williams to the Packers and saw E.J. Gaines sign a contract with the Browns, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to see them move quickly on some cornerback help.
Benwikere, 26, is a former fifth-round pick of the Panthers back in 2014. He’s was in the third year of his four-year, $2.419 million contract when the Panthers cut him loose during the 2016 season.
Benewikere had brief stints with the Dolphins and Packers before he signed a futures contract with the Bengals last February. Cincinnati later traded him to the Cowboys for a conditional 2019 sixth-round pick.
In 2017, Benwikere appeared in 12 games for the Cowboys and recorded two tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass defense.
