Cardinals Sign Four Draftees to Contracts, But Eight Remain Unsigned: An Analysis of Xavier Thomas, Christian Jones, Tejhaun Palmer, and Jaden Davis

The Cardinals have announced that they have signed four of their draftees to contracts. Xavier Thomas, a linebacker, Christian Jones, an offensive tackle, Tejhaun Palmer, a receiver, and Jaden Davis, a cornerback, are all now officially under contract. However, there are still eight draftees who remain unsigned.

Xavier Thomas was highly regarded in the 2018 class and finished his freshman year at Clemson as an All-American. He had an impressive 2023 season with 25 tackles, four tackles for loss, and three sacks.

Christian Jones was the second offensive lineman drafted by the Cardinals and has shown versatility in his play on the field. Tejhaun Palmer is the team’s second wide receiver drafted this year and joins a revamped receiving room that includes Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, and veteran Chris Moore.

Jaden Davis has shown versatility in his play as well, having played outside positions as well as in the slot and at safety last season. He accounted for 42 tackles, four pass deflections, and two forced fumbles during that time.
