The Arizona Cardinals are signing LB Zaven Collins to a two-year contract extension worth up to $14 million ($11.25M guaranteed). (Darren Urban, azcardinals.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Collins converted from an inside linebacker to an outside linebacker/edge rusher. In 2022 he spent 785 of his 1,025 defensive snaps in the box and registered a PFF defensive grade of 59.8; in 2023, he spent 569 of his 636 snaps on the defensive line with a grade of 72.1. His sudden increase in play likely was a key factor in inking the extension despite getting his fifth-year option declined. He has two additional years to prove that his improved play is here to stay rather than becoming a free agent in 2025.
