The Arizona Cardinals have taken steps to maintain continuity on offense heading into next season.
With training camp months away, the team has secured a player whose contributions often fly under the radar but remain crucial to their operation on multiple fronts.
“Cardinals restricted free agent Greg Dorcht signed his tender,” Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston wrote on X.

According to reports, the wide receiver will earn $3.3 million for the 2025 season, keeping his versatile skill set in Arizona for another year.
The move reflects the Cardinals’ commitment to retaining a player whose energy and explosiveness provide valuable depth to both their offense and special teams.
Dortch has shown flashes of electric potential throughout four seasons with Arizona, though he hasn’t fully emerged as a consistent weapon in the passing attack.
With this new deal secured, the Cardinals appear to be banking on Dortch stepping into a more significant role in the upcoming campaign.
The question now becomes whether Dortch can elevate his game to meet these heightened expectations.
Last season, his usage was primarily limited to short-yardage situations, evidenced by a modest 4.1-yard average depth of target.
Beyond his offensive contributions, Dortch remained active on special teams, handling 28 combined kick and punt returns.
This one-year tender suggests there’s untapped potential in his role.
Though he’s been utilized mainly as a gadget player, opportunities for more targets certainly exist.
Arizona desperately needs someone who can stretch the field vertically, an element its receiving corps noticeably lacks.
