The Cardinals are locking up the middle of their offensive line. Arizona and center Hjalte Froholdt have agreed to terms on a two-year, $20 million contract extension that keeps him under contract through the 2028 season, per Ian Rapoport.
Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet): Sources: The #AZCardinals and C Hjalte Froholdt have agreed to terms on a 2-year, $20M contract extension, keeping him in the fold through the 2028 season. One of their most consistent performances and anchors of their O-lines gets rewarded.
The money and term say plenty about how Arizona views Froholdt: Rapoport notes he has been one of the team's most consistent performers and an anchor of its offensive lines, and rewarding that reliability days before cutdowns is a statement about where the unit is headed. Interior stability is hard to find, and the Cardinals just paid to keep theirs.
Darren Urban (@Cardschatter): Excellent news for OL anchor.
For a line that has been building continuity this camp, extending its center removes any question about the interior going forward and gives the quarterback protection plan a fixed point through 2028.
