​The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 marks the start of the team’s approach to the regular season, as the organization begins to shape the roster and determine starting jobs and roles across the lineup. In the weeks leading up to camp, we will review every player on the offseason roster, examining their background, contract details, performance in 2025, the questions surrounding them, and their overall roster outlook.
Here is guard Chase Bisontis. Bisontis is a rookie who the Cardinals selected in the second round of this year’s draft, the 34th overall pick. He comes to Arizona as a three-year starter from Texas A&M, where he began as a freshman at right tackle and right guard before securing the starting left guard role for his final two seasons in 2024 and 2025. His transition to the NFL was secured with a four-year contract that is fully guaranteed for $13.3 million. The deal includes a $6.1 million signing bonus and a yearly salary of $885,000, with a 2026 cap hit projected to exceed $2.4 million.
Bisontis is expected to earn a spot on the roster, and many anticipate him to step in as the team’s starting right guard by the outset of the season. Through the offseason program, however, he has trailed Isaiah Adams on the depth chart, which leaves the door open for multiple possible outcomes: Will Bisontis surpass Adams for the starting job, or might his path to the lineup come later in the year? Could he end up watching some of his rookie season from the sideline as he gains experience?
The right guard position looms as one of the camp’s most compelling competitions. The outcome will be a key early indicator of how the Cardinals intend to balance development with immediate performance on the interior line.
