The Arizona Cardinals just made a massive move, locking up center Hjalte Froholdt with a two-year contract extension worth $20 million. Seriously, $20 million! This dude was already heading into the final year of his previous two-year deal, so it’s clear the Cardinals didn’t want him hitting the market.
The O-Line Anchor They Trust
This isn’t some random signing; Froholdt has been the consistent force on their offensive line. Over the last three seasons, he’s started every single game for Arizona, all 51 of them. That kind of reliability at center? That’s gold, especially when you’re trying to build something real up front. The Cardinals know what they have in him, and they are not messing around with that kind of production.
A Journeyed Veteran’s Reward
Froholdt’s journey to this $20 million deal is pretty wild, too. He was a fourth-round pick back in 2019, bouncing around a bit early in his career. He’s appeared in 82 games, starting 57 of them, for the Patriots, Browns, and even spent some time with the Texans before landing with the Cardinals. This extension is a big deal, rewarding a guy who has put in the work and proved he can be a crucial piece for the Cardinals’ offensive attack for years to come.
