Green's production has dropped since his last Pro Bowl season. In nine games in 2018, he caught 46 passes for 694 yards and six touchdowns.
Green missed the entire 2019 season due to torn ligaments. Last season through 16 games, he finished with 47 receptions for 523 yards and two touchdowns.
The former first-round pick in the 2011 NFL draft now joins a wide receiving corps that features DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk and veteran Larry Fitzgerald.
Along with Green's signing in free agency, the Cardinals have signed former Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, linebacker Markus Golden and returned offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum.
Watt shared his excitement for Arizona signing Green on Twitter.
