TEMPE, Ariz. -- NFL free agency is almost set to begin, and we're keeping track of every major signing, trade and release of the 2025 offseason, with analysis from our NFL Nation reporters and grades from our experts. The new league year begins on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, and free agent signings can then become official. The first round of the 2025 NFL draft begins April 24 on ESPN.
Here's a breakdown of every 2025 NFL free agent signing by the Arizona Cardinals:
Evan Brown, G
The Cardinals agreed to a two-year deal with guard Brown.
What it means: The Cardinals kept a key piece of their offensive line by bringing back Brown for two years. His return means there'll continue to be continuity on a line that hasn't had it for a while. He's consistent and durable, having started all 17 games last season. And he's liked in the locker room. The Cardinals see him as a good culture guy.
What's the risk: There's very little. The most obvious one is injury, especially coming off a season in which Brown played all 17 games. He gives quarterback Kyler Murray another familiar face up front.
