In the past few weeks, the Arizona Cardinals have been digging into their collective wallets, signing major renewals for stars Buddha Baker and DeAndre Hopkins. Both players now have a contract until 2024.
Meanwhile, Pro Bowl full-back Patrick Peterson has one-year contract worth just over $ 12.5 million. After that it could be interesting.
Due to the steady growth of the full-back market, Arizona has not had recent negotiations with Peterson about his contract, and are not scheduled, sources say. Today is the first week – the Cardinals debut against the San Francisco 49ers at 4:25 pm ET – Peterson gets another solid season under his belt. Assuming contract negotiations continue, Peterson may become an unrestricted free agent.
Peterson, who has a $ 70.05 million five-year contract expiring, recently told reporters that he “disagrees” with the situation with his contract.
“I can’t do anything about it,” Peterson said. “I have a contract until the end of the season. All I can do now is play ball. “
Calling last year’s rough start “boo boo,” Peterson ended the season with confidence and hopes to build it on to a stellar 2020.
“All I can do is worry about me,” Peterson said. “And when the time is perfect, we can sit down and talk about some things.”
