The Arizona Cardinals signed Marquis Haynes to a one-year contract on Tuesday, one day after the team placed fellow edge rusher BJ Ojulari on injured reserve due to a torn ACL.

The Cardinals also signed Delonte Hood to a contract with fellow cornerbacks Max Melton and Kei'Trel Clark nursing undisclosed injuries.

Haynes, 30, recorded 16 tackles and one sack in seven games (one start) last season with the Carolina Panthers.

He has 99 tackles, 14 sacks and four fumble recoveries in 71 career games (two starts) since being selected by the Panthers in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Mississippi.

Hood, 23, played for the Arlington Renegades of the UFL in 2024. He led the league with six pass breakups.
