Cardinals extend Froholdt through 2028

The Arizona Cardinals signed center Hjalte Froholdt to a two-year, $20 million extension, keeping him under contract through the 2028 season. Froholdt, 30, has started all 17 games in each of the last three seasons and has been a durable anchor since joining in 2023. The deal places his annual value around $10 million, and positions him as a steady interior blocker on a developing line led by Paris Johnson Jr. and Isaac Seumalo through 2027, with competition from others. Froholdt expressed enthusiasm about playing under head coach Mike LaFleur and strengthening Arizona’s offensive identity. The Cardinals also signed safety Josh Minkins and punter Jack Browning around the same time, adding depth as the team rebuilds after potential free-agent losses. This extension secures a stable building block for the club's ongoing rebuild.
