Christian signed a contract with the Cardinals on Thursday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Christian was promoted to the Bills active roster in December of last season and was able to record one catch for 14 yards. He'll now be competing for a backup role in Arizona.

Christian was released by Buffalo on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Christian had just one reception for 14 yards after being promoted to the Bills active roster in December of the 2016 season. Wherever he signs, he shouldn't be expected to have much fantasy value in 2017.

Christian has been promoted to the Bills' active roster.

EDGE Analysis

If he's made active Sunday in Oakland, Christian would serve as the team's third tight end behind Charles Clay and Nick O'Leary.

Christian was released by the Bills Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Christian was released in order to make room for tight end Manasseh Garner to be promoted to the roster. The Louisville product was signed by the Bills on Oct 4, and had played in just one game for the Bills.

Christian was promoted Tuesday from the Bills' practice squad to the active roster, ESPN's Mike Rodak reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 2015 seventh-round selection, Christian will take the place of Jim Dray, who was released in the corresponding transaction. Christian will merely provide depth, likely serving as the No. 3 tight end behind locked-in starter Charles Clay and top backup Nick O'Leary.

The Cardinals selected Christian in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft, 256th overall. The last pick in the draft, Christian is a former Florida transfer who found a good amount of success at Louisville over the last two years, accumulating 60 receptions for 810 yards and nine touchdowns. There's an unevenness in Christian's game in that he has the skill set of a move tight end, yet at just 244 pounds with awful athletic testing (4.87-second 40, 12.32 agility score), it's possible that Christian doesn't possess the physical traits necessary for that skill set to work in the NFL.
