Arizona Cardinals sign C Hjalte Froholdt to 2-year contract extension
Cardinals center Hjalte Froholdt is now under contract through 2028.
The Arizona Cardinals have extended their offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt's contract for two more years, extending his stay with the team through 2028. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the extension is worth $20 million. Froholdt was set to earn $4.77 million in salary and received a $500,000 roster bonus in March. His contract would have counted almost $7.0 million against the cap.
The exact terms of the contract will be revealed, as some of the $20 million might be paid out this year as a signing bonus. This is Froholdt's third two-year deal; he signed a two-year contract in 2023 and a two-year extension in 2024, keeping him under contract through the current season. Now, he has secured another two years beyond this season.
Froholdt has started every game of the past three years and played nearly every snap, with 99% of the team's snaps in each of those seasons. With this extension, all five starting offensive linemen are now under contract through at least 2027.
