The Arizona Cardinals signed safety Tyvon Branch to a two-year, $10 million contract with $5 million guaranteed.
The Cardinals love stockpiling safeties for their dime packages, which essentially serve as defensive coordinator James Bettcher's base defense. Branch, 29, figures to primarily be a sub-package safety in Arizona, upgrading on outgoing free agent Rashad Johnson.
Branch is coming off a 43-tackle season with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he was in a part-time role. The Cardinals will look to solidify their eighth-place ranking in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play from 2015.
