Bilal Nichols

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Cardinals have agreed to terms with former Raiders DT Bilal Nichols on a three-year, $21 million contract.

Per Schefter, the deal includes $14.4 million in guaranteed money. Nichols has spent the last two years in Las Vegas, starting all 34 possible games for the Raiders. He tallied three sacks and eight TFLs in his two seasons with the team. Nichols also logged his first career touchdown, a short scoop-and-score in the Raiders’ Week 16 upset over the Chiefs. The deal will help bolster an Arizona run-defense that ranked 27th in EPA per attempt allowed last year.
