Cardinals reach deal with CB Cason
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Arizona Cardinals continued to fortify their secondary through the free-agent market, with the club agreeing to terms on a one-year contract with cornerback Antoine Cason on Friday.
Cason, who played collegiately at the University of Arizona, comes to the Cardinals following a five-year stint with the San Diego Chargers in which he started a total of 49 games -- including 45 over the past three seasons. He started all 16 contests for the Bolts in 2012, compiling 71 tackles, two interceptions and 12 passes defensed.
The 26-year-old owns 12 career interceptions and 55 pass breakups, in addition to having made 25 tackles on special teams.
