Cardinals sign ex-CFL quarterback Streveler

The Arizona Cardinals signed former Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Chris Streveler to a futures contract, the NFL team announced Tuesday.

Winnipeg released Streveler on Monday so he could pursue NFL opportunities.

The 25-year-old will reportedly receive a portion of his contract guaranteed - roughly $100,000 - which means the Cardinals are expected to give him a long look during the offseason, according to TSN's Farhan Lalji.

Streveler spent the last two years with the Blue Bombers. In 17 games last season, the dual-threat quarterback threw for 1,564 yards with eight touchdowns and 14 interceptions, adding 726 rushing yards and 12 additional scores as Winnipeg won its first Grey Cup in 29 years.
