Cardinals and TE Gresham agree to deal

The Arizona Cardinals were expected to enter the tight end market after team-leader John Carlson suddenly announced his retirement at the end of last season.

That problem may have been solved after they and former Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham came to terms on a deal on Friday afternoon, the team announced.

Consistently thought the best at his position on the free agency market this offseason, the 27 year old Gresham signed a one-year deal.

He had 62 receptions on 79 targets last season with Cincinnati on 460 yards and five touchdowns, though he missed the final game of the 2014 campaign after a surgery to correct a herniated disk in his back. 

The former Oklahoma Sooner has 280 career catches for 2,722 yards and 24 touchdowns since entering the NFL as a No. 21 overall selection in 2010.
