Cardinals sign CB Jeff Gladney to two-year deal

Jeff Gladney is landing in Arizona after all. After meeting with the Cardinals on Tuesday, the cornerback is signing with the team, reports NFL insider Josina Anderson. Gladney is getting a two-year deal.

Glandey was recently acquitted by a jury on assault charges. The cornerback was released by the Vikings last August following an indictment for domestic violence. It was alleged that Gladney choked, punched and shoved a woman during an incident in April 2021.

“This has been a challenging time for Jeff mentally, spiritually and athletically,” his agents, Brian E. Overstreet and Rodney Williams, said at the time. “So, we applaud Jeff for having the courage to stand and fight for his freedom versus these false allegations.”

The TCU product was selected in the first round of the 2020 draft by the Vikings. He got into 16 games (15 starts) as a rookie, finishing with 81 tackles and three passes defended.
