The Arizona Cardinals now have only one unsigned draft pick. They announced on Monday that they signed defensive lineman Kaleb Proctor, their fourth-round pick, to a four-year rookie contract.
Proctor was the 104th pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

Last year’s 104th overall pick, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten, got a four-year contract worth $5.3 million with a signing bonus of less than $1.08 million.
Proctor’s contract will be a little more than that.
Proctor tore his meniscus in OTAs and will miss significant time. He might miss the entire season. That could impact his 2026 salary. Day 3 picks often have salary splits written into their contracts in the first year or first couple of years of their deal. If they are on injured reserve, their salary is reduced to something less. For the Cardinals’ other three Day 3 draft picks, the injured reserve salary for 2026 is $515,000. Proctor’s first-year salary would otherwise be the first-year league minimum of $885,000.
The only remaining unsigned draft pick for the Cardinals is quarterback Carson Beck, their third-round pick, the 65th pick in the draft. His deal should come soon, as pick No. 66, defensive lineman Tyler Onyedim, recently signed his rookie contract.
