The Arizona Cardinals look to put a bow on their first week of free agency with the addition of a special teams weapon.

The Cardinals are signing WR/KR Devin Duvernay to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

Schultz also added, "Devin Duvernay helped flip field position multiple times with the Bears as a returner, helping turn likely losses into wins. Arizona is hoping to get some of that after all the one-possession losses they had last year."

That's certainly the hope, as Arizona's lacked a premium return man since the Patrick Peterson days. While Duvernay isn't quite on that level, he's established himself as a threat on special teams.

He's proven himself to be a dynamic weapon with the ball in his hands and has earned his reputation as one of the league's best special teamers for a reason:

Arizona has their top wide receiver depth settled in Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne, so Duvernay's role will likely be more on return duties. However, he's still a capable plug-and-play receiver when needed.
