The Arizona Cardinals have secured center Hjalte Froholdt with a two-year contract extension, ensuring that one of the NFL's top centers remains with the team during a transitional period at quarterback.
Froholdt's performance has been notable, as he has consistently played over 1,070 snaps in each of the last three seasons. In 2025, he achieved a career-high pass-blocking grade of 72.0 and allowed only one sack, marking his best season as a pass blocker. His overall performance in 2024 also included a career-best overall grade of 76.1 and a run-blocking grade of 78.1.
As the 2026 season approaches, veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett is set to start, but rookie Carson Beck is also in contention, depending on their performances in the preseason. Regardless of who is under center, Froholdt's reliability is expected to benefit the team's offensive line.
Further details regarding the implications of Froholdt's extension and the team's quarterback situation were not provided.
