Greg Dortch's time in the desert is only getting started.

ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals are officially bringing back Greg Dortch after the receiver signed his one-year tender today at the team facility in Tempe.

More from Arizona's official news release

"The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that exclusive rights free agent wide receiver Greg Dortch has signed his one-year tender. The signing took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ.

"Dortch (5-7, 175) appeared in 37 games (10 starts) over the last three seasons with the Cardinals after signing with the team in 2021. He has 79 catches for 762 yards and four touchdowns to go along with 58 punt returns for 471 yards (8.1 avg.) and 32 kick returns for 657 yards (20.5 avg.) during his time in Arizona. In 2023, Dortch appeared in 16 games (four starts) and had 24 catches for 280 yards and two touchdowns. As a returner, he set career highs in punt returns (29), punt return yards (275), punt return average (9.5), kick returns (17) and kick return yards (360)."

Dortch had been fairly productive in his limited opportunities with Arizona, though Rondale Moore's exit via trade to the Atlanta Falcons opens the door for the Cardinals to utilize Dortch as their starting slot receiver moving forward.

With Michael Wilson and an expected addition coming in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Cardinals hope a healthy Kyler Murray can push Arizona far past their 4-13 record from last season. Dortch - who is also a punt returner on special teams - figures to play a role in that, too.
