The Arizona Cardinals have made notable moves by signing wide receivers Quez Watkins and Trishton Jackson to future contracts. Watkins, 26, previously spent four years with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he recorded 98 receptions, 1,249 yards, and six touchdowns. His standout season came in 2021, amassing 647 yards on 43 catches. Watkins also appeared in Super Bowl LVII, recording one reception for eight yards in the Eagles’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
After a brief stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad in 2023, Watkins joins the Cardinals, reuniting with head coach Jonathan Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis, both of whom worked with him in Philadelphia.
The Cardinals also added Trishton Jackson, who played two games for the Minnesota Vikings in 2023, collecting two receptions for nine yards. An undrafted prospect in 2020, Jackson showcased his talents at Michigan State and Syracuse.
These additions join other recent Cardinals signings, including cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe, linebacker Elliott Brown, and offensive lineman McClendon Curtis, as the team builds toward the future.
