The Arizona Cardinals have announced the re-signing of defensive lineman L.J. Collier for the 2026 NFL season on a one-year contract valued at $2.5 million. This deal marks Collier's fourth consecutive one-year agreement with the team since he joined in 2023. Last season was challenging for Collier, as a knee injury limited him to just four games, where he managed six tackles and two quarterback hits. His previous seasons have also been affected by injuries; notably, he missed the entire 2023 season due to a torn triceps. However, in his fully healthy season in 2024, he excelled, achieving a career-high of 29 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and six quarterback hits over 17 games. Collier will be rejoining a defensive line that includes players like Darius Robinson, Walter Nolen, and Dante Stills, with P.J. Mustipher also expected to return as an exclusive rights free agent.
