The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team.
Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook.
Next up is defensive lineman P.J. Mustipher.
P.J. Mustipher background, 2024 season
Mustipher played five seasons at Penn State and was a team captain in 2022. He signed as an undrafted free agent with the Broncos in 2023 and was subsequently with the Saints and Eagles, who waived him on Aug. 27, 2024. Signed to the Cardinals practice squad the following day, Mustipher was with the team for the entire 2024 season. His brother Sam is a center with the Titans.
During his college career, Mustipher had 145 tackles (11 for loss) and 3.0 sacks.
P.J. Mustipher contract details, cap hit
Signed to a one-year futures contract with the Cardinals on Jan. 7, his salary and cap charge this year is $960,000. There is no guaranteed money in the deal.
2025 questions, roster outlook
After spending last season on the practice squad, Mustipher could be headed that way again, considering the depth in the team's defensive line room.
