Max Garcia, a veteran of the league, was re-signed by the Arizona Cardinals so that the offensive line would have some backup.
In March, offensive lineman Max Garcia signed a free-agent contract with the New York Giants after spending three seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. The 30-year-old blocker has now returned to the desert six months later.
Garcia, a former Denver Broncos fourth-round draft pick, has moved back to the “Valley of the Sun,” the Cards announced on Saturday. After learning that the former University of Florida player had been dropped to the Giants practice squad, general manager Steve Keim moved quickly to sign the former employee.
After Arizona lost their backup guard, Cody Ford, to an ankle injury, they needed to bolster their blocking unit. Ford will miss the first four weeks of the season due to the Redbirds’ decision to place the former Buffalo Bills starter on their injured reserve list.
During his first two seasons with the team, Garcia participated in 21 games for the Cardinals. The native of Georgia had a bigger impact on the “Air Raid” offense last fall.
Garcia’s ability to hold down the fort at both center and right guard demonstrated his flexibility to the fullest. Overall, he made 15 appearances for the Cards, including 11 starts.
