The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team.

Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook.

Next up is inside linebacker Vi Jones

Vi Jones background, 2024 season

The brother of Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones, Vi came to the Cardinals on waivers on Dec. 30, two days after being cut by the Buccaneers. He began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent with the Seahawks from North Carolina State in 2022.

Jones played seven games with the Bucs last season and was inactive with the Cardinals for the final game of the regular season. In Tampa Bay, he played 55 defensive snaps (12 percent) and 124 (64 percent) on special teams. He had six tackles (three solo) on defense with a forced fumble and had three special-teams tackles (two solo) and another forced fumble.

Jones’ base salary and salary-charge this season is $1.03 million. The contract has no guaranteed money.

2025 questions, roster outlook

Jones is a long shot to earn a spot on the 53-man roster because of the depth at linebacker, but it’s possible he could land a job on the practice squad.
