Cardinals re-sign long snapper Aaron Brewer, S Joey Blount

The Arizona Cardinals re-signed special teams ace Joey Blount and long snapper Aaron Brewer, the team announced on Friday.

Brewer received a one-year contract while Blount’s is a two-year deal. Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro first reported the signings could be coming.

Brewer is the longest-tenured Cardinals, having originally joined the franchise in 2016. He’s appeared in 132 games for the Cardinals during that span.

Much like Blount, Brewer has been an integral part of special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers’ operations.

Blount has spent the past two seasons as one of Arizona’s top special teamers while serving as an added depth piece on defense.

Across 26 games with the Cardinals, Blount has an interception, a pass defensed and two forced fumbles. However, he finished last campaign on injured reserve with a rib injury.

Blount got his NFL start with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia.

The re-signings mark the latest returns for Arizona, falling in line behind contract extensions for pass rusher Zaven Collins, center Hjalte Froholdt, running back James Conner and safety Budda Baker.
