It didn't take cornerback Robert Alford long to find a new NFL home.
Alford signed a three-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, two days after being released by the Atlanta Falcons in a salary cap move.
Terms of his contract with Arizona were not disclosed.
He joins a Cardinals secondary led by star cornerback Patrick Peterson. Vance Joseph is the team's new defensive coordinator on first-year head coach Kliff Kingsbury's coaching staff.
Because he was released he was permitted to sign with a new team before the start of the NFL's new league year on March 13.
