Former Cardinals LB Kyzir White is still a free agent after starting 28 of 34 games over the last two seasons. Arizona DC Nick Rallis mentioned how White’s role from the last few years is wide open and said it will stay that way until the season begins.
“I would say everything’s pretty wide open,” Rallis said, via Jess Root of the Cards Wire. “We talk about roles, and there are really two phases of roles — there is competing and there are defined. And roles ultimately aren’t defined until (we are) going into the first game of the season.”
“And roles can change throughout the season. So you’ve got to continue to perform at a high level. But right now we’re in a competing phase, so there are a lot of guys getting an opportunity to go out there and show what their role can be, whether that’s for what Kyzir’s role was last year or any role on the defense.”
Seattle re-signed P Michael Dickson to an extension through 2029 after a strong first seven seasons with the team. Dickson reflected on his time with the team and expressed his gratitude to be able to continue with the franchise.
“It’s meant a lot,” Dickson said, via John Boyle of the team’s website. “You see a lot of people come through the building, and I’ve just been super grateful since my first year here just to wear this logo and to play in the NFL. So I’ve really made it a point of mine to give it everything I can in every aspect of my life, whether it’s food, sleep, hydration, training, looking after my body, trying to do everything I can to make sure my mind is on point for this game, the next game and for as long as I can go. I really want to get the most out of my ability and my time here, and I never want to take it for granted at all.”
