2025 Arizona Cardinals training camp roster preview: WR Bryson Green
We will preview every player on the Cardinals roster leading up to training camp. This is about WR Bryson Green. 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. This focuses on receiver Bryson Green. Bryson Green background, 2024 season Green is a rookie who signed with the Cardinals out of Wisconsin after going undrafted in April. He was one of seven rookie free agents the Cardinals added this offseason following the draft. Green played four collegiate seasons, beginning first at Oklahoma State for two years and finishing his final two for Wisconsin. In four years, he played in 42 games and caught 97 passes for 1,422 yards and 11 touchdowns. His most productive season was in 2022, his second season at Oklahoma State, when he had 36 receptions for 584 yards and five touchdowns, all career-highs. He had a knee injury in 2024 that limited him to eight games. He caught 17 passes for 219 yards and two scores last season. Bryson Green 2025 contract details, cap hit Green signed a standard three-year rookie deal worth nearly $3 million. He received a $30,000 signing bonus and will make the league-minimum $840,000 salary for a first-year player. Of that salary, $234,000 is guaranteed, which is equal to 18 weeks of salary for a practice squad player. His cap hit in 2025 is $850,000 if he makes the active roster. Questions he faces, roster outlook Green enters training camp with the same questions all rookie have — can they adjust to the pro game? The difference is that the Cardinals did not invest a draft pick on him, so he has to prove his worth even more. And the Cardinals have a crowded wide receiver room. He is a longshot to make the active roster, but his salary guarantees suggest that he will be a priority to keep on the practice squad this year.

UDFA named Arizona Cardinals' best candidate for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
Pro Football picked a player as the best possibility to be Offensive Rookie of the Year. This player was the only option The Arizona Cardinals only selected one offensive player in the 2025 NFL draft. That was guard Hayden Conner in the sixth round. As such, the Cardinals have no shot at a rookie winning Offensive Rookie of the Year. But Pro Football Network, putting together a list of the best candidate from every NFL team to win Offensive Rookie of the Year, had to pick someone. As such, the player they named was the best option they could come up for Arizona. That player is undrafted rookie receiver Bryson Green. It's improbable to think that the Arizona Cardinals will produce the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Jonathan Gannon's side didn't draft a single skill-position player in the 2025 NFL Draft and only picked up one receiver and one tight end as undrafted free agents. Bryson Green was the lone wideout picked up and has the potential to be a big-bodied receiver who can add to the Cardinals' WR rotation. The 6'1', 207-pound pass catcher had 97 career receptions for 1,422 yards in his four years for the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Wisconsin Badgers, and fits the mold that Arizona has leaned towards in recent seasons. Putting together a list like this, PFN had to pick someone. Bryson is the best option, as the only other offensive skill player they signed as a rookie free agent was tight end Oscar Cardenas. Green has guaranteed salary to equal 18 weeks of the practice squad, so the Cardinals bank on him being with the team in 2025, but there is almost no shot he makes the active roster with Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Zay Jones filling four of the five or six receiver spots they will carry on the 53-man roster. On top of that, they have Xavier Weaver, who was on their active roster last year as a rookie free agent and 2024 sixth-round pick Tejhaun Palmer. They also signed Quez Watkins and Simi Fehoko this offseason, who have better chances to make the team than Green does. But is Green the best candidate for the Cardinals? Well, yes. That is the case. It just means they have the smallest possible chance to have this year's Offensive Rookie of the year, Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.

Arizona Cardinals open rookie mincamp with no tryout players
Arizona Cardinals open rookie mincamp with no tryout players The only players in rookie minicamp were seven draft picks and six rookie free agents. The Arizona Cardinals took the practice field on Friday. Well, a few Arizona Cardinals took the practice field. It was the first of three days of rookie minicamp. One thing was different about this year's rookie minicamp. There were exactly zero tryout players. The only players participating were the team's seven draft picks and six rookie free agents. Arizona Cardinals rookie minicamp roster WR Bryson Green (undrafted) TE Oscar Cardenas (undrafted) OL Hayden Conner (Round 6) OL Jeremiah Byers (undrafted) OL Josh Fryar (undrafted) OL Valentin Senn (undrafted) DL Walter Nolen (Round 1) DL Elijah Simmons (undrafted) OLB Jordan Burch (Round 3) ILB Cody Simon (Round 4) CB Will Johnson (Round 2) CB Denzel Burke (Round 5) S Kitan Crawford (Round 7) This continues to be a departure of what perhaps is the NFL tradition. In years past, the Cardinals would bring in scores of rookies and young players, and sometimes even established veterans, in with a full three days of practice. it was a crash course into the NFL and create competition, allowing tryout players a shot at making the offseason roster for OTAs and beyond. However, under head coach Jonathan Gannon, that has not been the case. If there have been tryout players, it has been limited. It is more about pouring information into the rookies so they are better prepared for OTAs, mandatory minicamp and training camp. They will only be on the field twice, Friday and Saturday. They will have meetings on Sunday but will not be on the field. Then they jump in with the veterans for the second week of Phase 2 of the offseason program.

Wisconsin wide receiver signs with Cardinals as undrafted free agent
Wisconsin wide receiver signs with Cardinals as undrafted free agent Wisconsin wide receiver Bryson Green signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent on Saturday. Green is the fifth Badger off to the NFL level. Offensive tackle Jack Nelson and safety Hunter Wohler each went on Day 3 of the draft, while offensive lineman Joe Huber and cornerback R.J. Delancy also signed as UDFAs. That number increases to eight when former transfers are also considered. Wide receiver Chimere Dike and quarterback Graham Mertz (both via Florida) were selected in the draft's fourth and sixth rounds, respectively, while offensive tackle Logan Brown (via Kansas) signed as an UDFA. Green joined the Badgers as a three-star transfer recruit ahead of the 2023 season. He previously began his college career at Oklahoma State, where he played in 23 games over two seasons, totaling 48 catches, 723 yards and seven touchdowns. He was one of coordinator Phil Longo's primary transfer additions of the 2023 offseason as he reshaped the team's skill positions to fit his air raid scheme. Green produced well in his first year with the program, totaling 32 catches, 480 yards and two scores. Those numbers came without much stability at quarterback, as starter Tanner Mordecai missed significant time with a broken hand. Green's breakout seven-catch, 105-yard, one-touchdown ReliaQuest Bowl performance against LSU had many expecting big things entering 2024. Unfortunately, a lower-body injury defined the wide receiver's senior season. He went out during the Badgers' Sept. 28 loss at USC and didn't return until their Nov. 16 contest vs. Oregon. Overall, Green appeared in just eight games, catching 17 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns. As in 2023, Wisconsin's subpar play under center impacted his production. Green now joins a Cardinals receiving corps led by 2024 first-round pick Marvin Harrison Jr., 2023 third-round pick Michael Wilson and veteran Zay Jones. The room is crowded behind that top trio, meaning the former Badger may face an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster.
