Arizona Cardinals sign center Hjalte Froholdt to extension

The Arizona Cardinals have signed starting center Hjalte Froholdt to a two-year contract extension, ensuring he remains with the team through at least the 2028 season. Previously approaching free agency after this year, the extension secures a key component of the offensive line during a period of transition for the team's quarterbacks.

Froholdt has established himself as a highly consistent starter, having played at least 1,070 snaps in each of the last three seasons. Advanced metrics from Pro Football Focus highlight his recent performance, including a career-high pass blocking grade in 2025. Head coach Mike LaFleur praised Froholdt’s ability to organize protections and his leadership within the locker room.
