A classic low-risk future contract signing with minimal immediate impact on Arizona's roster. Five headlines covered the move, mostly noting his Iowa and Vikings ties rather than any standout ability. Smith-Marsette has struggled to stick on NFL rosters, signaling this is a camp-body addition at best. Fans are largely indifferent, with some Iowa alumni briefly buzzing about a familiar name. He'll compete for a practice squad spot but faces long odds of making the 53-man roster.

This signing grades out as an overpay for the Arizona Cardinals — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Ihmir's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL WRs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.2M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the WR market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Ihmir is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
