The Cardinals have built their defense around their secondary, and Saturday, they took one step to making sure at least one piece remains in place.
Two-time special teams Pro Bowler Justin Bethel, who will be starting at cornerback for the Cardinals Sunday against the Rams in place of an injured Jerraud Powers, signed a three-year contract extension prior to the team’s charter flight to St. Louis.
“With the guys we’ve got here, especially in our secondary, Pat (Peterson), Ty (Mathieu), Rashad (Johnson), Jerraud, Deone (Bucannon), Tony (Jefferson), all those guys, I think we have a really, really close group,” Bethel told azcardinals.
