Arizona Cardinals Sign Fourth Round Pick Greg Toler

The Arizona Cardinals signed their fourth round draft pick, Greg Toler to a three year deal. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed although it's rumored to be 3 years for $1.5 million and Toler will reportedly receive a signing bonus worth $316,000. Toler is the fifth draft pick to sign overall (Herman Johnson, LaRod Stephens-Howling, Trevor Canfield) and the second of the week (Will Davis). Chris Wells, Cody Brown and Rashad Johnson, the teams three top picks, remain unsigned.

Toler, a 5'11 191 pound cornerback, is drawing comparisons to last year's first round pick, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, thanks to his size, athleticism and background. Toler went to school at tiny Saint Paul's College in Virginia after poor grades kept him out of bigger schools and almost out of college entirely. Once he got to school though his grades improved and Toler stared recording 14 interceptions, 36 pass breakups and 50 passes defended in 40 games. He's expected to battle for the nickel corner job in training camp.

The team also released undrafted rookie Justin Brown out of Hampton. In two seasons at Hampton, after transferring from JUCO, he caught 84 balls for 1,370 yards (16.3 avg) and eleven touchdowns. Brown was thought by some to be the highest rated undrafted free agent that the Cardinals signed.

good job for the front office

Looking back at last years’ posts, we didn’t sign our fifth rookie until the middle of July last year. Graves and the front office are moving fast this year.

It would be so great ...

to have everyone in camp on time. There are already some 1st rounders who have signed. Can we hurry up and get this done?

I'm really excited about Toler's potential

He seems like an X-factor kind of guy.

When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again. True story.
