The Arizona Cardinals reportedly added four defensive players in free agency on the first day of the NFL free agency negotiating window. On the second day, they are adding depth on offense and special teams.
According to Bleacher Reports’ Jordan Schultz, the Cardinals are going to sign running back DeeJay Dallas.
Dallas will be 26 years old this coming season. He was drafted in the fourth round in 2020 by the Seahawks.
He has been a core special teams player for the Seahawks for years. He has surpassed 225 special teams snaps in three straight seasons.
He also has returned punts and kicks. Last season, he averaged 10.6 yards on 25 punt returns and 25.9 yards on 17 kick returns.
On offense, he has rushed 112 times over four seasons, averaging 4.2 yards per attempt and has caught 61 passes for 396 yards. He has played 599 offensive snaps in four NFL seasons.
His career suggests he will compete with Emari Demercado for the role as third-down back and play special teams.
