Josiah Deguara: Everything you need to know

Deguara secured three of five targets for 21 yards and one touchdown in 12 regular-season contests in 2025. Deguara was one of seven Cardinals to record a receiving TD this past season, which marked his first end-zone visit since he was a member of the Packers in 2021. However, he never garnered a snap share greater than 18 percent in any of his appearances and enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, so he may need to prove himself elsewhere after spending the last two years in Jacksonville (2024) and Arizona.

Deguara was unable to haul in his lone target while playing eight of the Cardinals' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett targeted tight ends on 17 of his 31 pass attempts Sunday, but Trey McBride (4-27-0 receiving line on eight targets) and Elijah Higgins (7-91-0 on eight targets) did the heavy lifting for the position group. Deguara, meanwhile, will continue to function mainly as a blocker and special-teams contributor for Arizona. Through 10 appearances, Deguara has drawn just three targets, turning them into one catch for six yards.

Arizona signed Deguara on Wednesday, per the NFL's transactions log. Deguara was cut by the Cardinals on Tuesday, but with the passing of this year's trade deadline, he's coming back just one day later. He should settle back into a depth role at tight end in Week 10 at Seattle.
