Cardinals re-signed K Chad Ryland to a one-year contract.

08 March 2026

Ryland has spent the last two seasons with the Cardinals, converting on 81.5 percent of his field goal attempts over that span while going 10-of-14 from 50-plus yards. The 26-year-old kicker was 6-of-10 from that distance in 2025 and also made all 36 of his extra point attempts. The decision to bring back Ryland was a no-brainer for head coach Mike LaFleur, although he’ll likely face competition for the kicking job after the Cards brough in Josh Karty last December.
