Clement - who just turned 29 in November - looks to add another championship to his resume after winning Super Bowl LII with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Clement joined the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2017 and spent the first part of his career in Philly while also spending time with the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens afterwards.

Clement initially joined the Cardinals in 2022 as a practice squad player. He's played in 12 games for Arizona the last two seasons. He played just 73 snaps for the Cardinals in 2022 and hasn't played on offense for Arizona this season.

The Cardinals finished 2023 with a 4-13 record while securing the No. 4 spot in the 2024 NFL Draft. While James Conner and Michael Carter have seemingly secured the top two spots in the running back room, Arizona could look to add more bodies in the offseason.
