CARDINALS SIGN C KYLE SCHMITT
The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has signed center Kyle Schmitt for the 2006 season and allocated him to NFL Europe.
Schmitt (6-4, 295) originally signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted rookie free agent last April out of Maryland and was released on August 29 during training camp. The former Terrapin appeared in 48 games during his college career with 28 starts at center and was a two-time Rimington Award candidate recognizing college football’s best center.
The Cardinals have allocated six players (Schmitt, TE Ben Hall, DE Tyler King, QB Jeff Otis, RB Roger Robinson, and TE Andy Stokes) to NFL Europe. NFL Europe kicks off its 14th season on March 15.
