Arizona Cardinals obviously believe they have deep issues in secondary as the team is adding another corner despite signing Prince Amukamara and De’Vante Bausby in recent weeks.
According to Fox 26’s Mark Breman, the Cardinals are expected to sign veteran cornerback Johnathan Joseph. The 36-year-old player became a free agent earlier this week when he was released by Tennessee Titans.
Joseph was released by the Titans despite starting six games in 2020 and putting up solid numbers. He had 29 tackles to go with one interception, five pass deflections, and one forced fumble.
Cardinals will most likely use Joseph as a depth piece and as an emergency in case of injuries or positive COVID-19 results. Patrick Peterson and Dre Kirkpatrick are currently starters, with Kevin Peterson and Bausby taking the backup roles.
In Arizona, Johnathan Joseph will be reunited with defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who was his position coach at Houston Texans. During their time together, Joseph delivered two Pro Bowl seasons and earned one All-Pro nod.
Joseph, who is playing his 15th NFL season, has 784 career tackles with 32 interceptions and 199 passes deflected.
