He received a signing bonus of $57,500 and $200,000 of his $1.3 million in salary is guaranteed. As his deal is a qualifying veteran contract, his contract will count more than $1.2 million against the cap.OIiver is not a lock to make the roster, but he is an intriguing option as safety depth because he plays a lot of special teams, knows the Cardinals’ special teams coordinator, can play both safety and cornerback and has a lot of experience starting.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe suffered a knee injury late in the season, which is likely why it took so long for him to sign in the offseason.
