A familiar face returns to Arizona in a solid, low-risk rotational depth move. Five headlines covered the reunion, framing it as a modest raise after his Detroit stint. Lopez earned his pay bump by proving his value elsewhere, signaling Arizona still views him as a trusted piece. Fans largely welcome back a known commodity who fits the defensive line rotation comfortably. Expect Lopez to contribute reliably as a rotational interior lineman without dramatically shifting Arizona's defensive outlook.

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Arizona Cardinals — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Roy's on-field performance ranks in the lower half among NFL DLs, grading him as a rotational player at the position. His $5.3M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the DL market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — rotational player production at below-market money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Roy is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $10.5M deal ($6.0M guaranteed, 57%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
