The Cardinals have signed 25-year old fullback Charles Ali.  Ali is a big guy at 6’2″, 255 pounds and he will help out as a run blocker and a special teams player if he makes the team.  Ali didn’t play at all last season in the NFL.  He played in 15 games for the Browns in 2008 and he didn’t get to carry the ball.  He caught 4 passes for 13 yards (3.3 avg) and he made 2 tackles in 2008 for the Browns.  I wouldn’t get too excited about the Cardinals signing Ali but he could help them in a couple of areas in 2010.

The Cardinals have signed 26-year old CB/KR Justin Miller to a 1-year deal.  Miller returned 11 kickoffs for 221 yards (20.1 avg) last season for the Raiders and the Jets.  He has now played in 44 games in his NFL career in which he has 99 tackles, 8 passes defensed and he has 1 forced fumble.  Miller has also returned 152 kickoffs for 3,966 yards (26.1 avg) with 5 TD returns.  The Cardinals signed Miller for his return ability as he is a gamebreaker and he can also provide depth in the secondary.  I like this signing for the Cardinals.
