Jonathan Dwyer Signs With The Arizona Cardinals

Free agent running back Jonathan Dwyer has signed a one year deal with the Arizona Cardinals TSF has learned. The running back market is pretty tepid, so it’s actually a little surprising that he found a contract so quickly.

Dwyer has been a serviceable back in Pittsburgh, who flashed at times, and reportedly “tapped out” at others. His strongest suit was probably pass blocking, though. Aside from that, he might arguably be remembered most as the running back who took a lot of heat for being overweight.

Dwyer was cut before the 53 man roster selection last year, but was re-signed a week or so later. I wouldn’t have minded seeing Dwyer back for small contract, because he’s shown improvement, but he reportedly was not in the Steelers plans going forward.
