The Arizona Cardinals are bringing back offensive lineman Trystan Colon. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Colon is returning on a one-year deal worth $1.75 million and has $450,000 in guaranteed money. He can make up to $2 million with incentives.
Colon was acquired on a waiver claim before the season began.
He appeared in 14 games and started four at left guard. He was one of four players to start at left guard last season.
He did miss three games with an injury.
Even when Elijah Wilkinson started games at left guard, Colon often split snaps with him.
Colon can play guard and center.
He played a total of 323 offensive snaps last season, the most in his career.
The amount of guaranteed money in his one-year deal suggests he is expected to make the roster and at least be a backup.
Colon is the second of the Cardinals’ players scheduled to be unrestricted free agents to agree to a new deal. Defensive lineman L.J. Collier also re-signed on a one-year contract.
